Embark with Rabbi Annie Prusky

Tuesdays, October 13 - November 10, 6-8 p.m. on Zoom

plus in-person events October 25 and November 7 in central Maine

The Center for Small Town Jewish Life is partnering with Mem Global to bring the Maine community the Embark program. Embark is all about exploring Jewish life in interfaith relationships - without the pressure to convert. Connect with other couples and an Embark Rabbi as you learn, share, and grow together in a supportive space. Whether you're curious about tradition or building your own, discover a Jewish life that's uniquely yours. 

What to Expect at Embark:

A Rabbi Who Gets It: Your Embark rabbi is all about meeting you where you are – no pressure, no assumptions, just thoughtful conversation, a friendly ear and a great sounding board. Through group and personal one-on-two conversations, they’re here to help you explore Jewish life on your own terms.

Big Questions, Open Conversations: Embark is all about diving into the big stuff—like how to celebrate holidays, navigate family traditions, and think about the future in a way that feels true to you. No judgment, just space to figure it out together.

A Community, Not Just a Cohort: Get to know other couples who are in the same boat. The conversations and discussions are geared towards building a sense of trust and community within the group. 

Traditions That Fit: Discover Jewish practices and rituals that speak to your life as a couple, and learn how to make them your own.

Important Note: Each partner needs to register themselves separately.

Please register by October 1 to save your spot! Please note that if you do not receive a confirmation email, your registration has not gone through.
