What’s the difference between consent and wantedness? Why are boundaries healthy? How can we cope with rejection? What does Judaism have to say about these concepts? These are some of the topics we’ll discuss in this interactive, hands-on program led by Certified Sexuality Educator Miriam Levitin followed by plenty of time for Q & A. You’ll walk away with tools that will help you figure out what you want and don’t want and how to communicate honestly and clearly when dating and in a relationship – no more ghosting!
Light snacks will be served.

What are Shabbat Clusters?
Shabbat Clusters are curated small groups of young adults ages 21-45 that come together to celebrate Shabbat monthly. Groups are formed based on neighborhood and age and sometimes interests (such as LGBTQ, outdoors, arts, etc.) and observance levels. Groups are for everyone – singles or couples.
Fall season is once a month from September-March. You do not need to attend all Shabbat gatherings to participate in the program and you can request to be placed in a group with friends or significant others.
