From inspiring lectures to deep meditations, Shabbat connections to historical explorations, experience the profound energy of Parashat Vayakhel, which unites our community in harmony and purpose. Enjoy the start of spring, the Jubilee time in Italy, and the light we’ll bring from Rome to the rest of the world.
