Please fill out this form if you plan on joining us so we can plan for how many people will be attending. https://forms.gle/cHkVafRdPZKBUNvM8 What’s Interfaith Shabbat? The Interfaith Shabbat we put on once a year is meaningful to us both because we seek to create connections with other faith communities on campus and because we hope that events such as these contribute to a diverse, interconnected religious life on campus. We look forward to open and accepting dialogue and conversation at events like these! Who are we? We, The McGill Chavurah, aim to create inclusive spaces for Jewish students on campus. We are a progressive, sustainable, inclusive, traditional, egalitarian, and non-hierarchical community both in structure and practice. We are honoured to be partnering with The Newman Catholic Students' Society, The Ecumenical University Chaplaincy of Montreal, and The McGill Office of Religious and Spiritual Life for this event. What will the event look like? We will be holding a traditional Friday night service as well as providing food and a space for dinner. The service will be a traditional Jewish Kabbalat Shabbat service, which is very musical and participatory, but anyone is welcome to participate as much or as little as they'd like. We will explain the service as we go and provide translated and transliterated material, so everyone can follow along and learn. Following the service, we will provide a vegetarian and kosher dinner with vegan options (free of charge) and have time for some interfaith mingling! Anyone is welcome to come for the service, dinner, or to both?:? whatever they're comfortable with. We are so excited to have a meaningful Shabbat with you!! The McGill Chavurah organizes on the traditional, unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Kanien'kehá:ka, the keepers of the Eastern Door of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Tiohtiá:ke, colonially known as Montreal, has long served as a site of meeting and exchange for Indigenous nations. We must always remind ourselves of the historical injustice that makes our gathering here possible – and to redress the injustices that continue to pervade our society and culture.
