Big Jewish Gathering: Rerooting Judaism
January 24 – January 25
Welcome to the Big Jewish Gathering – a two-day spiritual convening in Brooklyn weaving immersive ritual, embodied learning, and creative renewal. On January 24–25, we’ll gather with spiritual leaders, teachers, and artists from across Jewish time and tradition — converging through mystical and ancestral pathways of awakening.
Lilith is excited to partner on the Big Jewish Gathering—a bold new experiment in Jewish spiritual and cultural life. Join us for a two-day spiritual laboratory where emerging and established Jewish leaders will co-create a Judaism that meets this moment — one that is rooted, relevant, and alive.
This is not a retreat. It’s not a synagogue service. It is a practice ground for connection, creativity, and renewal, open to anyone interested in vibrant, meaningful engagement with a Judaism that is embodied, relational, and grounded in tradition.
A Note on Shabbat Observance:
Shabbat is a central Jewish practice that is deeply important to our community. We recognize that Jewish tradition contains many streams of practice that are often beautifully contradictory.
At this event, under the guidance of our spiritual leaders, we will honor, guard, remember, and celebrate Shabbat by embracing the use of electricity in ways that enhance our Shabbat experience, including amplifying sound, cooking and preparing Shabbat food, and photographing and recording our time together.
If these activities do not align with your Shabbat practice, the non-Shabbat elements of our gathering might be a better fit for you. If you have any further questions, please reach out to info@theneighborhoodbk.org.
