FamilyLab:  Harvest to Table

Sunday, September 27, 2026
4:00pm
Downtown Brooklyn*

Welcome to FamilyLab: An everybody-friendly gathering for families with young children ages 0-8 (siblings welcome). Centered around the family table: delicious dinner, sing along, stories, and animated interactive learning to celebrate holidays and delve into life-long Jewish values.

Sukkot invites us to break bread together outdoors under the fall harvest moon. As the leaves change colors we enter into the new year in abundance with special holiday rituals that bring us closer to nature.

Spiritual Leader Shira Kline along with teaching artist Emet (Ari L. Monts) and Keb Barshack, gather us in the Sukkah for the tastes, sounds, and feels of our Fall Harvest Holiday.

With Lab/Shul’s unique God-optional approach to tradition, text and story, FamilyLab is open to those who identify as Jewish, Jew-ish, and everything in between. Whether it’ll be your first lulav shake or you grow your own etrog grove, all families are welcome here!

ReCollect/Yizkor: A Kaddish Gathering

ReCollect/Yizkor: A Kaddish Gathering

Saturday, October 3, 2026
12pm EST
Online

As we leave the high holidays and enter into the harvest holiday of Sukkot, the Jewish calendar offers us an opportunity to invite the ancestors who came before us into temporary shelters (Sukkot). These huts serve as memory holders for both biblical ancestors and our own who we love and miss. Sukkot is the first of three ancient pilgrimage holidays when collective community gathers to remember (Yizkor). Together, will create our temporary shelter online. Rabbi Amichai will join us for this special extended call to offer learning and space to hold our grief.

Lab/Shul’s ReCollect/Yizkor is a seasonal gathering to remember our loved ones, share stories, lift memory, and say Kaddish, the ancient memorial prayer, together. Throughout the year, ReCollect meets near or on the times of memory (Yizkor) on the Jewish calendar (Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Passover and in this month Shavuot).

Whether you’ve experienced a recent loss, are remembering a loved one who passed long ago, or showing up in support of community, you are welcome here. Together, we acknowledge feelings of loss that can be particularly painful as we anticipate empty chairs at our tables and holes in our hearts.

SLBC 2027

to Feb 16

SLBC 2027

The SLBC International Conference cultivates the next generation of Jewish leaders by equipping them with the practical skills, meaningful relationships, and enduring inspiration they need to strengthen Jewish life in their own communities. SLBC is designed with one primary goal in mind: helping every participant return home with ideas, strategies, resources, and renewed confidence they can immediately put into practice.

Each February over President’s Day weekend, nearly 600 clergy, Jewish educators, religious and day school teachers, family engagement and early childhood specialists, Jewish camping staff, teen and young adult leaders, veteran and emerging songleaders, lay leaders, and Jewish professionals gather in St. Louis for North America’s premier Jewish leadership-training conference. Since its founding in 2010, more than 5,000 Jewish leaders have participated in SLBC, creating a powerful leadership pipeline that continues to strengthen congregations, camps, schools, Hillels, JCCs, nonprofits, and Jewish communities across North America, Europe, Israel, and beyond.

Led by many of the Jewish world’s most respected thought leaders, educators, clergy, and music artists, SLBC offers more than 100 highly interactive workshops, inspiring keynote experiences, soul-stirring communal music, meaningful networking, and transformative all-conference gatherings. Every aspect of the conference is intentionally designed to maximize take-home value, ensuring that participants leave with practical tools, innovative ideas, new relationships, and leadership strategies they can implement immediately to create lasting impact in the communities they serve. While inspirational Jewish music is woven throughout the conference experience, participants do not need to sing or play an instrument—music is simply one of many powerful vehicles for building connection, cultivating community, and inspiring leadership.

Participants experience both the energy of the larger conference and the intimacy of specialized Chavurot (learning communities) and leadership tracks, where they build deeper relationships with peers who share similar passions, professional roles, and leadership journeys. These include the Staenberg Teen Chavurah, Atid Middle & Day School Chavurah, Ramah Chavurah, and dedicated learning tracks for worship leaders, Jewish educators, early childhood educators, and songleaders.

At the heart of SLBC is a deep commitment to ensuring that every participant feels welcomed, valued, and empowered to lead. Through intentional initiatives supporting LGBTQ+ Jews, Jews of Color, Jews with disabilities, Jews by choice, and leaders from every denomination, background, and level of Jewish observance, SLBC reflects the richness, diversity, and complexity of contemporary Jewish life. This unwavering commitment to belonging has become one of SLBC’s defining hallmarks, creating a vibrant community where every voice is celebrated, every leader is supported, and every participant is inspired to help shape the Jewish future.

Strengthening Leadership

Develop the confidence, practical skills, and inspiration to create lasting impact in your community.

  • Learn from many of the Jewish world’s leading educators, clergy, thought leaders, innovators, and music artists.

  • Choose from 100+ interactive workshops spanning leadership, education, inclusion, Jewish identity, music, prayer, movement and mindfulness, and experiential learning.

  • Gain practical leadership strategies, innovative ideas, and ready-to-use resources you can immediately implement in your congregation, school, camp, organization, or community.

  • Strengthen your communication, facilitation, relationship-building, and public speaking skills.

Belonging

Experience one of the Jewish world’s most welcoming, diverse, and inspiring leadership communities.

  • Learn alongside nearly 600 Jewish leaders representing various ages, professional roles, denominations, and levels of Jewish observance.

  • Participate in groundbreaking initiatives supporting LGBTQ+ Jews, Jews of Color, Jews with Disabilities, Jews by Choice, and other underrepresented voices in Jewish life, and discover practical ways to create communities where every person feels seen, heard, and included.

  • Experience Jewish music, prayer, storytelling, and shared learning as powerful vehicles for building authentic connection—you don’t need to sing or play an instrument to benefit from SLBC.

Community

Become part of a growing movement transforming Jewish leadership around the world.

  • Join more than 5,000 SLBC alumni who are strengthening congregations, camps, schools, JCCs, Hillels, and Jewish communities throughout North America, Europe, Israel, and beyond.

  • Build lifelong relationships with clergy, educators, camp professionals, teen leaders, musicians, and Jewish professionals who continue supporting one another long after the conference concludes.

  • Collaborate across denominations, generations, and professional roles in ways rarely found elsewhere in Jewish life.

  • Experience soul-stirring communal gatherings that inspire, energize, and remind us of the extraordinary power of Jewish community.

Be Breathed: An Ivri Evening of Mystical Ritual

Just before Tu B’Av — the Jewish festival of love — we gather for an evening of resonance, presence, and connection.

Guided by Rabbi Jericho Vincent of Temple of the Stranger and ritual artist Spiritual Leader Shira Kline, we will enter a shared field of chant, breath, and embodied ritual. Through ancient melodies, contemplative practice, and participatory ceremony, we’ll create space to soften, listen, and remember.

This gathering is an invitation to be carried by sound, to connect with yourself and others, and to step into the mysterious terrain that Tu B’Av opens: the possibility of love, belonging, longing, and encounter.

Ivri is our most ancient communal name, Hebrew for “one who crosses over.” It is also term we use to describe a growing movement of Jews reclaiming ancestral practices, cultivating new forms of embodied ritual, and exploring spiritual life rooted in our lineage. Shira and Rabbi Jericho are two of the incredible spiritual leaders in this nascent movement.

No prior experience is necessary. Come as you are, leave as even more of yourself✨

This space is a collaborative weaving of Temple of the Stranger, Lab/Shul, OpenLev, and Space and Magic.

Embodied Judaism Class - Every Act a Prayer: The Wisdom Architecture of Jewish Practice

What if Judaism were not just something to study—but something to feel, inhabit, and
live?

Embodied Judaism is a 14-week journey into the living heart of Jewish spirituality.

This course weaves together a rotation of incredible teachers steeped in Renewal,
Earth-based, and ceremonial Jewish traditions—each bringing experiential teachings
that feel ALIVE in the body and heart.

In recent generations, many Jews have inherited a version of Judaism centered in the
intellect, often focused on rules and archaic images of God. Writer Rodger Kamenetz
once described this image as “an old man in the sky saying no.”

Yet something is shifting. In the wake of expansive psychedelic experiences, ancestral
curiosity, and a longing for authentic connection, spiritual seekers are returning to
Judaism with fresh eyes, hungry for a Jewish path that actually resonates.

Judaism has always been a path of intimacy, devotion, creativity, and love. Embodied
Judaism recovers that lineage. Through music, movement, and breath, participants in
this course will explore the core elements of Jewish life in ways you didn’t learn in
Hebrew school. We’ll uncover the spiritual and somatic magic behind Jewish ritual,
prayer, mitzvot, calendar, theology, and text.

The course puts Jewish practice in conversation with contemporary paths of somatic
practices, ecological awareness, creativity, psychotherapy, altered states, mysticism,
and global wisdom traditions.

Embodied Judaism welcomes participants across the Jewish spectrum—curious
beginners, those returning with fresh eyes, and those seeking a deeper, more
personally resonant relationship with Jewish spirituality. At its core, Embodied Judaism
is an invitation into direct encounter – with Jewish wisdom, ancestry, and the Divine.

Lab/Shul Gala

Lab/Shul Gala

Join us on June 18, 2026 as we mark a significant milestone – Lab/Shul’s B MITZVAH.

Thirteen years in, Lab/Shul has grown from a bold experiment into a thriving spiritual community and a catalyst for global change. Building on the legacy of Storahtelling, Lab/Shul’s artist-driven, everybody-friendly, God-optional ethos lives at the center of how we make meaning of our inherited traditions and create space for everyone to belong.

Our B Mitzvah is an opportunity to honor what we’ve co-created thus far and to face what lays ahead with confidence, curiosity, and a deep sense of purpose. At this time of uncertainty and strain, it’s also a moment to intentionally embrace joy and celebration as an act of resilience. We’ll honor the moment with a special Storahtelling ritual performance honoring beloved community leaders, toast, feast, and party into the night (yes, we’re taking the B Mitzvah moment seriously—celebration included!)

This is Lab/Shul’s moment of BECOMING. Join us on June 18th to honor the commencement of a new chapter for us all.

Night Shift: The Shavuot Show

At Night Shift: The Shavuot Show, we’ll be staying up late with live music, immersive ritual, radical text study, sensational drag, magic, puppets, and more! Shavuot is the Jewish holiday of revelation, often observed through late-night Torah study. This year, The Neighborhood, The New Shul, Temple of the Stranger, Beit Toratah, Lab/Shul and friends invite you to come early and stay late for a mind-opening, community-building, heart-expanding experience of art, culture, and spirituality.

Though things appear divided and broken, Kabbalists, sufis and mystics of all kinds see a perfect unity. As the dark settles in and the music transports us to the realms beyond time, all borders fall into oblivion. Let the light of revelation dance us to the dawn.

Don’t miss:

  • Rituals featuring Rav Jericho Vincent, Rabbi Misha Shulman, and Shira Kline

  • Drag by Abbi G’zunt

  • Musical performances from Tal Mashiach and Who’s Around, Chanan Ben Simon, and more

HUC - Elijah Fellowship Shabbaton in Spring 2026

Elijah Fellowship Shabbaton Morning with Shira Kline

In the midst of the Elijah Fellowship Retreat, we welcome Shira Kline for a morning of shared presence, voice, and unfolding.

Through a Torah service — open, expansive, and alive — fellows will gather at the meeting point of text and experience, ancient words and present-moment awareness. Together, we will listen: to melody, to silence, to one another, and to the subtle stirrings within.

Guided by Shira’s deeply embodied, music-centered approach, this morning invites participants into a practice of noticing — of what is arising, what is resonating, what is asking to be held. It is a space for reflection and connection, where learning emerges not only from ideas, but from attention, relationship, and the courage to be fully here.

A morning to arrive.
A morning to attune.
A morning to dwell, however briefly, in the sacredness of presence.

Difficult Conversations in Jewish Spaces

The Jewish world has always contained a multitude of perspectives, backgrounds, and opinions—and these differences feel even more amplified in our ever-evolving, post-October 7 reality. This webinar will explore how to make space for that diversity; how to honor our own convictions while genuinely listening to other voices. Through a mix of personal reflection and examining how our tradition embraces debate and disagreement, we'll learn how to engage in meaningful dialogue, build bridges across difference, and help shape a Jewish community where many voices truly belong.
