Sim Shalom and Jewish Spiritual Leaders Institute Unite for Alumni and Student Gathering in New York City
Sim Shalom and the Jewish Spiritual Leaders Institute (JSLI) came together for a special alumni and student gathering in the heart of New York City on March 1 and 2, 2025. The event brought together a group of Rabbis and Cantors, along with their family members, for a weekend of spiritual growth and community building.
The highlight of the gathering was the group’s attendance at the Central Synagogue Saturday morning Shabbat service. Led by Cantor Jenna Pearsall and choir, the service was a beautiful and meaningful experience for all in attendance. The group was able to connect with each other and with their faith in a powerful way, creating a sense of unity and camaraderie.
In addition to the Shabbat service, the group also had the opportunity to explore the vibrant art scene in Soho with a local tour guide. The tour provided a unique perspective on the neighborhood and its history, as well as a glimpse into the current art scene. On Sunday they continued their art exploration with a Jewish centered tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Who knew that French – Impressionist Camille Pissarro was Jewish? and visited the Lower East Side to soak in the early New York Jewish experience that included special treats of pickles and bialys.
The weekend included a special performance by Rabbi Steven Blane, founder of Sim Shalom and JSLI. The group gathered to watch Rabbi Blane’s musical talents on display, showcasing his passion for music and spirituality. The evening was filled with joy, laughter, and a sense of community as the group celebrated their shared experiences and the bonds they had formed.
Sim Shalom and JSLI are proud to have brought together such a dedicated group of spiritual leaders for this special gathering. The event was a testament to the power of community and the importance of coming together to celebrate and strengthen our faith. Both organizations look forward to future gatherings and the continued growth and connection of their alumni and students.
