The Jewish Collaborative of OC is excited to announce the launch of OC Egal - a nightly egalitarian minyan for people looking to davven or say kaddish in an egalitarian setting. Our originally scheduled, in-person, June debut is shifting to a virtual launch with the hope of including a minimum of 10 "postage stamps" in the Zoom Room every night at 6pm.
Beginning May 31, we will meet Sunday through Thursday at 6pm for a no-frills minha and ma'ariv service. Our primary goal is to provide a consistent, fully inclusive, supportive environment for anyone needing to say Mourners Kaddish, either because of a recent loss or because they are observing a yahrzeit. We are counting on community members looking to fulfill the joyful mitzvah of praying with a minyan to facilitate this opportunity for others.
A pastoral presence will be available at most minyanim to connect with anyone in need of a compassionate ear or direction.
WE NEED YOU to help get this community project going strong.
Click HERE to see the June schedule and PLEASE SIGN UP ON THE GOOGLE SHEET for convenient slots so we can guarantee a minimum quorum of 10 each night. You will receive friendly text reminders with the Zoom link to join on the days you have selected.
We encourage you to share this email with all potential minyan-makers!
Feel free to reach out to Rabbi Marcia (714-478-3882) or Josh Nowack (949-229-9753) with any questions or write to any of us at Joy@JewishCollaborativeOC.org.
With sincere thanks and wishes for a Hag Shavuot Sameah,
