Hello and welcome to Contact Chai. Pride Shabbat was a beautiful celebration of what makes this community special, a place to bring our whole selves to something larger than ourselves. Rabbi Steven drashed on Pride, love, and our obligations to our fellow humans.

We also kicked off Builder Drive 2025! Our community is only possible through the support of our Builders, and for years our Builders have depended on the dedicated service of our beloved Builder Experience Manager, Amy Nadal. This month, we’re saying goodbye to Amy as she strikes off on her her next opportunity, so today's episode begins with a tribute to Amy's incredible work and an appeal to become a Builder and help us build the Mishkan.
