Please join us for Pride Shabbat as we welcome Rabbi Mike Moskowitz. Rabbi Moskowitz will be giving a d’var tefillah on Friday night, the sermon during Shabbat morning services, and teaching after kiddush on the following topics:
Friday night: “Shabbos and the Gendered Texture of Time”
Shabbat Morning Sermon: “Homophobia is the Real Abomination: Classic Sources and New Understandings”
Post Kiddush Text Study: “Honoring the Divine Presence by Showing Up: Allyship as a Spiritual Practice”

He is a Wexner Field Fellow, Senior Rabbinic Fellow at the Hartman Institute, and the author of Textual Activism, Graceful Masculinity, Seasonal Resistance, and Ancestral Allyship.
