Capture the lingering spirit of the holiday through a meaningful Seudah Shlishit (the mystical third meal of Shabbat) and a communal Havdallah. Together, through a partnership between NextGen757 of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater and Temple Israel, we’ll explore the Story of Ruth, a powerful narrative of loyalty, radical inclusion, and finding one’s "chosen family."

What to Expect:

  • Table Talks: Deep dives into Ruth’s journey of spiritual identity and modern insights from Rabbi Panitz.
  • Authentic Connection: A chance to foster community with NextGen peers and Temple Israel’s conversion program members.
  • Havdallah: A reflective closing to bridge the gap between the holiday and the new week.
