The Velveteen Rabbi, Live on City Island

As a prelude to our annual Shabbat by the Sea extravaganza, join the Velveteen Rabbi, Rachel Barenblat, for an intimate poetry presentation preparing for Shabbat.  Rabbi Barenblat, co-chair of ALEPH: Alliance for Jewish Renewal, is among the Forward’s most inspiring rabbis in North America for 2016; her blog (velveteenrabbi.blogs.com) was one of Time Magazine’s top blogs on the internet. Free for members, $20 for nonmembers.

This event will be in the backyard dock/gazebo of Ken Binder and Steve Roth, 2 Bay Street, City Island, New York. In case of rain, this event will be at the synagogue.
