CANCELED: Riverway Shabbat Slowdown
2025-03-22 12:30 - 15:00 | Onsite
This event is canceled for March 22, 2025. We hope to see you at the next Shabbat Slowdown!

Shabbat Slowdown is your invitation to step away from the hustle of daily life and enter a Divine space of rest, joy, and connection. Join the Riverway Community monthly on Saturday afternoon to pause, reflect, and experience the peace that Shabbat offers us. Shabbat Slowdown activities will vary, but you can expect anything from soulful song circles, poetry slams, and meaningful text studies to laughter-filled arts & crafts and board games – and, of course, schmoozing and snacks. Whether you’re looking to try on a new Shabbat practice, attune to Jewish time, or simply enjoy time with friends, we can’t wait to relish the joy of Shabbat Slowdown together. Let us know you’ll join us!
The Riverway Project and this program are for those in their 20s and 30s.

Counting Up (with Riverway): A Journey Through Pirkei Avot During the Omer
2025-04-19 12:30 - 15:00 | Library
Join Rabbi Oberstein and the Riverway Project for a 4-session learning series as we dive into Pirkei Avot—a collection of ancient Jewish wisdom that’s all about how to live an ethical, meaningful life. You don’t need any background knowledge—just curiosity and a willingness to explore big questions together.
We’ll meet four times during the Omer, the seven-week period between Passover and Shavuot. Traditionally, this time is about reflection and growth, making it the perfect moment to engage with these powerful teachings and apply them to our lives today.
Whether you’re looking to connect with Jewish texts for the first time or revisit them with fresh eyes, this group is for you. Come for the learning, stay for the conversation and community.
Register here so we know you’ll be there!
Our first session will take place during April Riverway Shabbat Slowdown.
This gathering and the Riverway Project are for those in their 20s & 30s.
