Registration Link (opens on September 9): https://www.peretz-centre.org/event-details-registration/fraytik-tsu-nakht-cultural-shabbes-potluck-2025-october
Come lift your voice in community at a special evening of group singing led by songleader Antonia Lassar. We'll explore old Jewish melodies, new niggunim, and improvised harmonies, weaving our voices together in joy and connection. Whether you're a seasoned singer or just love to listen, this is a space to challenge yourself, open your heart, and discover deeper connections—to the music, to the tradition, and to each other. No experience necessary—just bring your voice and your curiosity!
This event is in partnership with the Peretz Centre for Secular Jewish Culture, and is part of their monthly Fraytik tsu Nakht Cultural Shabbes & Potluck, which is open to all, beginning with a Secular Humanist Shabbes observance (songs and readings) followed by a potluck dinner and...the rest is a secret for now!
Admission: a contribution to the pot luck OR pay $18.00 per person (children are free).
Please register early to help us make sure there's enough food for everyone.
