The tradition of keeping a Sabbath (sometimes referred to as a “time without time”) is so ancient that one might wonder whether it has any relevance at all in modern life. Is there any point in receding from the world one day every week, and who has time for that much rest anyway? What’s so appealing about a time set aside to not do anything? This service is for anyone curious about Jewish ritual practices, or for those longing to deepen or renew their Sabbath engagement.
Rev. Leah Ongiri is a lifelong Jewish UU and has been a child, lay leader, staff member, or minister at UU congregations in Oregon, Washington, California, New Jersey, Florida, Wisconsin, and Colorado. Leah is a graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry, former UUJA President, and coeditor (with Rev. Marti Keller) of the Skinner House book Jewish Voices in Unitarian Universalism. She lives with her family (spouse, four kids, tuxedo cat, and bearded dragon) in her Portland, Oregon hometown.
