JMR30:
Reimagining the Power of Havdallah!
Moving from isolation and uncertainty to community and brotherhood.
JMR30
Digital Connection
Digital Connection is an online option for men who are unable to attend JMR30 in person. It will feature streaming of the Opening and Closing ceremonies, Friday night Kabbalat Shabbat service, and Shabbat morning services.
Celebrate 30 years of JMR as we renew this ancient ritual for these times. In Havdallah we distinguish between the holiness of Shabbat and the activities of the everyday. Embracing this delineation guides a weekend of exploration into why Jewish tradition marks time in this way — and how we can emerge from such a challenging and unsettling period enriched and inspired.
Join us on this special journey of discovery and reconnection!
JMR30 will begin at 4:00 p.m. on Friday (sundown is at 6:11 p.m.) and end mid-afternoon on Sunday.
Menschwork is assessing the viability of offering an online JMR30 component for men who are unable to attend JMR30, if sufficient interest exists.
Please contact info@menschwork.org if you would be interested in an online JMR30 component.
