Shabbat Parshat Yitro Thank you to Brian Eisenstein, R. David Roth, R. David Curiel and Joe Sousa for leading a festive evening of Tu BiShvat events, with a blood moon eclipse to top it all off! Great fun was had by all as nearly 100 people took part in the celebration. Thank you also to brewmaster David Engel for creating an eclipse-themed ale for participants to enjoy as a nightcap!
Also, R Emily has regular drop-in office hours on Tuesdays 11-1 and Thursdays 3-5, if you need or want to call or stop by for any reason. Of course, you can always call or email to make an appointment during the day or on Tuesday or Thursday evenings, but if having a set time during the day is helpful for you, it's available!

Cambridge Niddah Group: We invite you to join us for seudah shlishit, learning, and discussion about niddah ideas and practices. In this monthly gathering we dive deep into a wide range of rabbinic, historical, and contemporary sources on niddah and hold space for folks to share their personal experiences and questions. This group is open to non-male identifying people of any relationship status or sexuality. Our next gathering will be February 16. If you're interested in joining us in February or sometime in the future, email Rachel Jacobson. Thank you to Hadar Institute for supporting this group. __________________________________________________________
