AUGUST: HOME

This month we explore the theme of 'Home' - the spaces we inhabit, the people we share them with, and the traditions that fill them. In Judaism, the concept of home is not confined to a physical place. It extends to the community we build, the sacred spaces we create, and the sense of belonging we cultivate within ourselves.
