Entering Tammuz

The Light Within, A Tikkun Potluck

Join our South Bay Tikkun Circle for a special summer evening of community, reflection, and connection as we gather just after Rosh Chodesh Tammuz to welcome a new month together.

As we enter the month of Tammuz, the Jewish calendar begins shifting inward. Tammuz invites us to reflect on what nourishes us spiritually, emotionally, and physically, and how we bring more light, intention, and compassion into our lives and communities.

Through a shared plant based meal, meaningful conversation, and Jewish wisdom, this gathering offers space to slow down, reconnect, and cultivate deeper alignment between our values and the way we live.
