Shomrei Neshama is an anti-Zionist, mask-required, egalitarian minyan. Services are led in a meditative style akin to Kohenet and/or Renewal. Our minyan is also LGBTQ-affirming, welcoming to Jews of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, to Jews from interfaith families, and to non-Jewish partners and family members.
Tickets are sliding scale. If you require a comped ticket, email shom.nesh.to@gmail.com No one will be turned away. Funds support fees, supplies, and other costs.
KN95 or better mask required. Please bring your own but extra masks will be provided. There will be air purifiers in the room. The venue has multiple rooms and events so there may be unmasked people in other parts of the building. Do not come if you aren't feeling well. If you selected a paid ticket and end up feeling sick, email shom.nesh.to@gmail.com for a refund.
In lieu of siddurim, lyrics will be shared via projected slides.
Kiddush will include servings of challah and grape juice to go (or to eat outside).
Event will be photographed for social media promotion with an effort to preserve anonymity (photographing attendees from the back unless they are leading a prayer, etc). Please let event leader and volunteers know if you absolutely do NOT want to be photographed.
