Passover is just around the corner, and Jewish Culture School kids discussed the freedoms they are most thankful for:
to influence our political situation
from fossil fuels
for animals to live without human threats
from chores
to enjoy hobbies without ridicule
to read what you want
to criticize the government
to make decision about our own bodies
EDIT: After careful consideration, the decision was approved to cancel the vigil on Wednesday, 3/8.
It was a beautiful night to gather around the fire pit. Reproductive freedom is a Jewish value and a basic human right. We’ll continue to destigmatize abortion until access to this medical procedure is restored.
We learned about Persian Jews and made some Purim-inspired mosaics. Our Persian Jeweled Rice was a hit!
Tri-Valley Cultural Jews’ Secular rabbit Judith Seid and Jazz our Jewish Cultural School teacher give us their rendition of the civil rights era song Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Round in honor of Reproductive Rights Shabbat.

The Supreme Court’s decision to reverse Roe v. Wade this summer put access to abortion and birth control in jeopardy across America. Join us in person or on Zoom on February 18th at 5:30pm for the Shabbos we shouldn’t have to have–the one where we discuss the Jewish Secular Humanist values surrounding reproductive health, rights and justice.
