Kohenet Shabbat Service

Saturday, 21 June, 2025 • 25 Sivan 5785

10:00 AM - 12:00 PMWorship Hall

We welcome you to experience embodied earth-based feminist Judaism, which draws from ways that women and other marginalized people led Jewish ritual across time and space. We are delighted that OrH members Kohenet Judith Maeryam Wouk and Kohenet Miriam Michelle Meyer will again lead a Shabbat service that falls on a Solstice.

On the summer solstice, June 21, when the path of the sun is the longest and the Earth’s axis is tilted closest to the sun, we acknowledge both the greatest daylight and the eventual return to the dark.   

The Hebrew date, 25 Sivan 5785, is Shabbat Mevarchim (Shabbat of blessing, they bless) the Shabbat closest to Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, which starts at sundown Wednesday, June 25, when the moon phase on the 21st is a waning crescent.

The Kohenet Hebrew Priestess Institute (2005 to 2023) created an ordination program that reclaimed and innovated these practices.

OrH Zoom protocols:

1. Please ensure that you sign in to the service using a screen name that clearly identifies you (i.e., first and last name or household name only). If you cannot be identified, you may be removed from the service.

2. Please ensure that you are muted at all times, unless you are asked to unmute.

3. If you plan to call in to the service using one of the telephone access numbers, you must send an email to techteam@orh.ca in advance of the service indicating the phone number you will use to sign in. If you cannot be identified you may be removed from the service.

4. During the service, you are welcome to use the “chat” function, whether in response to an invitation from the leader, or a reflection that arise for you from the prayers, songs, or teaching. We have always been a community that values the prayer leader’s platform, or “bimah” not as a “high place” (its literal meaning) but as a shared space. However, we ask that you please be judicious and thoughtful with the substance and timing of your chat interventions.

If you have any questions or challenges around using Zoom, please reach out to techteam@orh.ca. We look forward to greeting you in our virtual lobby and enjoying Shabbat together.
