Reflective Studio with David
Tuesday, October 6, 2026
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
What can making help us discover about ourselves—and about one another?
Join Reform Rabbinic Advisor Rabbi David Mahfouda for a creative exploration of bravery, authenticity, and connection. Together, we’ll use explicitly Jewish frames—including beginning, repair, freedom, rest, praise, and listening—to explore how creative practice can help us move through the world with greater intention and openness.
No artistic experience necessary. Just come ready to make, explore, and see what emerges.
