For over 80 years the ACJ has been devoted to bringing Judaism beyond nationalism to American Jews seeking an alternative to the Zionist norms of institutional life. Our Kabbalat Shabbat service featured nostalgic Reform liturgy, accessibility through iyyunim (explanations), transliteration, warm and welcoming song leading, and an incredible drash (sermon) by one of our board members. We centered the values of liberation, peace, and hope, and the dream of a world repaired that we can all work towards together. The incredible turnout and the beautiful seeds of community planted at the oneg showed that everyone is ready for more - join us!
