Nishmah’s pre-Passover women’s event returns! Guest storyteller Jennifer Rudick Zunikoff takes us through an immersive experience highlighting inspiring women in the Passover narrative. Join women of all ages as we co-create a virtual protective tent in the wilderness, and fill it with our voices, joy and light.

The evening will also feature music from Lucy Greenbaum, plus some special surprise guests!
