"Rebbe's Tisch"

Join us for a "Rebbe's Tisch" led by Rabbi Jonah Steinberg and Rabbi Rachel Nussbaum.

Tisch = the Yiddish word for "table."  In this context, it refers to a spiritual gathering that happens around a table.  It started centuries ago in Hasidic communities, and involves a lot of singing, some l'chaims, a few words of Torah.... 
 
This tisch is going to have the energy, holiness and kavana of a traditional Hasidic gathering, but with a modern twist.  (It's not a prayer service, because there is no liturgy.  It's not a class, because there is more drinking.  Maybe it's about using music to tap into mystical energy?)
 
Date:  Sat. Sept. 11, 2010 
 
Location:  A home in Queen Anne - please contact us for address. 
 
Time:  8:30 - 10:30pm (please be on time - we'll start with Havdalah)
 
Bring:  Your favorite drink to share (alcoholic or not - whatever you prefer)
 
FYI:  Most of the songs don't have words (and if they do, it's the same line over and over) - don't worry about whether you know them or not; you'll catch on very quickly.  Just come with an open mind, and a willingness to sing.
