Synaplex Shabbat

📅 Saturday, June 28 | 🕙 10 AM |📍Multiple locations at Darchei Noam

We will begin together at 10:00 AM with introductory prayers, setting the stage for a meaningful and transformative morning. Then, as we arrive at the Torah service, you get to choose from three meaningful opportunities to experience Torah—each offering a unique lens into Jewish tradition, spirituality, and learning.

Option 1: Traditional Torah Service
Engage in a full, exploratory Torah reading led by Dr. Rob Silver, delving into the text and its interpretations.

Option 2: Reflective & Meditative Musical Experience
David Lefkowich & Lenka Lichtenberg will lead an immersive exploration of the Book of Psalms, where ancient words meet modern melodies.

Option 3: Roots and Routes: Jewish Migration, Adaptation, and Resilience in Latin America and Canada with Dr. Analucía Lopezrevoredo
Join Dr. Lopezrevoredo for a dynamic exploration of Jewish journeys through Latin America and into Canada. Together, we’ll trace the migration routes that brought Jews to countries like Argentina, Peru, and Mexico, and examine the cultural adaptations that followed. What did Jewish communities give up or adopt in order to survive and thrive? How did relationships with local clergy and Indigenous communities shape religious and cultural life — particularly in remote places like Iquitos? We’ll reflect on the legacy of Latin American Jewish figures, and discuss the complexities faced by Jews emigrating from Latin America today. This program invites us to honour the resilience of diasporic Jewish life while asking what it means to belong, adapt, and remain rooted across generations and borders.

After the Torah service, we will reunite as a community for closing prayers, and Kiddush. We look forward to sharing this uplifting and enriching morning with you.
