June: 18 and 25, 7:00 PM, location disclosed upon registration

Kabbalah Cafe began quietly and beautifully in the home of one of the founders of Romemu —as a small circle gathering around mystical texts, shared questions, and the simple holiness of being together. We are grateful that this learning will now continue restoring that same sense of warmth, intimacy, and presence.

These evenings will weave together Zohar and Hasidut, silence and song—learning that invites depth without pretense. This is not an academic course, but a lived encounter with Jewish mysticism: study meant to be felt, tasted, and carried, rather than mastered.

June 27, 7:00 PM at the JCC

We know how to welcome Shabbat with intention, but how do we carry Shabbat with us as we step back into the week?

In the tradition of Melaveh Malka, we accompany Shabbat as the week begins, we affirm that Shabbat does not simply end, it continues to flow into the days ahead.

Co-led by Hazzan Shimon Smith, Music Director of Romemu, and Ben Romano, Artist in Residence at the JCC, joined by a circle of musicians in an open, communal nigun circle. Feel free to bring a guitar; we’ll have chords. (Thinking of bringing a different instrument Email shimon@romemu.org.)

Join us for a special live recording of Detours and Destinations featuring celebrated cookbook author Adeena Sussman, in conversation with Rabbi David.

In this intimate and inspiring evening, Adeena and Rabbi David will explore her personal and culinary journey and her newest book, ZARIZ, a vibrant collection of “easy, breezy, Tel Aviv-y” recipes born from a desire to find calm, creativity, and connection in the kitchen during times of uncertainty.

A signed book is included with every ticket.

“May all your detours be destinations.”

Rabbi David Ingber received that blessing from a dear friend many years ago and never forgot it. The echo of those words continues to resonate and inspire today. Can we reframe obstacles as opportunities? How do we recognize when a stumbling block truly is a stairway?

In this new podcast, Rabbi Ingber sits down with thought leaders, changemakers, and spiritual seekers, for heart-centered conversations about the winding paths we take, and the insights gleaned along the way. These are conversations about resilience, transformation, the beauty and messiness of being human — a touchstone for listeners seeking wisdom in perilous times.

New episodes drop every week!
