Dreamcoat Shabbat: Warming Our Community

Friday, Dec 12th 7:30p to 9:30pJoin us for a soulful Shabbat dinner inspired by Joseph’s dreamcoat and a community coat drive to warm our NYC neighbors. Join the 14Y Selah community, in partnership with the Brotherhood Synagogue, for Dreamcoat Shabbat: Warming Our Community a warm and soulful Shabbat gathering inspired by Parshat Vayeshev, Joseph’s technicolor dreamcoat, and our collective responsibility to bring comfort and care to one another. As Joseph begins his journey of dreams, descent, and resilience, we gather to explore what it means to hold our own stories with compassion. This evening brings together song, story, and shared reflection, all within a recovery-informed space where everyone is welcomed exactly as they are those in recovery, those who love someone in recovery, and anyone seeking a Jewish home rooted in belonging. 14YSelah is a program of the 14th Street Y. It is a Jewish community for people in recovery and those who love them.
