I want to go on my Soul Journey.

I want to just show up to Shabbat.

I want to share challah around a table with neighbors I don’t yet know.

I want to pray.

I want to dance.

I want to be inspired.

I just want to be alone while surrounded by the love of others.

I just want to say “Thank you, God.” Whatever that means.

Co-Creating says that you support the vision of community that Open Temple creates with you – whether it is that you are looking for a Jewish community that has actually entered the 21st Century and makes Judaism relevant, accessible and fun; or that you are more local, and believe that Venice is growing, changing and that we can all be a part of the change in the way that deepens our humanity and souls as we connect to our ancestors and look forward.

Co-Creating means that you understand that Shabbat, Holiday, Classes and all that we offer actually costs money, and that you are willing to be one of the Co-Creators that support these offerings.

Co-Creating means that you feel obligated to give back in this world, and you are finding a way to do it through a Creative Jewish Spiritual Community.

What’s changing: We’re inviting you to Co-Create.

What’s not changing: We’re still open.

Not ready to Co-Create quite yet? Of course you are still welcome.
