SHIUR Berlin: a new beginning

nov 1, 2025 | berlin | 8pm

The hostages are back, the war is over. We are entering a “new beginning” stage. Yet how can we truly enter a new beginning, after we have seen the dark side of humanity, not only far off in the middle east, but also at home in Berlin and the West? Are we truly out of the dark? What about Syria, what about the parts of Europe and the Middle East that Hamas and their sympathizers still reign?

How can we combat the reactionary impulses attempting to prevent a new beginning? How can we cultivate a new fire to dispel the resurgent old darkness?

SHIUR founder Micki Weinberg, visiting from Berlin, will lead a text-based discourse drawing on theory, philosophy, literature, Kabbalah, and other sources, followed by a re-interpretation of the Havdalah fire ritual. Join people of all backgrounds, Jewish, Arab, Druze, and others as we collectively engage in new readings and perspectives.

Wine and cheese will be served.
