Join us in the courtyard for a warm summer Shabbat evening of poetry by congregant Jefferson Singer. Jefferson’s poetry is accessible to individuals who may not typically follow poetry or go to readings. His collection of poems, In Common Things, reflects his 60+ years to become a more thoughtful and patient observer of the happenings in life. His poetry highlights relationships, the natural world, and spirituality. Relax and take the time to focus attention on the various worlds we inhabit. All are welcome to join us.
