Havdalah Candle-Lighting at Brookledge

Havdalah is Shabbat’s closing ritual. One of Danielle's favorite interpretations of this ceremony is that on Friday night, we light two separate candles to represent how our body and mind have disconnected throughout a busy week. After a full day of rest, we light a braided candle to represent that we are emerging from Shabbat, whole again. On this incredibly special weekend, we begin as two separate communities, side-by-side. After a day of connection, we're thrilled to observe Havdalah as one interwoven community :) !!!!

3:00 PM

Tisch & Bedeken at Brookledge

7177 Antioch Road, Middle Grove, NY 12850

Sam and Danielle will host separate events from 3:00-3:20 before the official ceremony. The purpose of these pre-ceremony rituals is to energetically and spiritually prepare them both to stand under the chuppah. Sam’s will be a joyous mix of singing and goofy toasts, and Danielle’s will be a ceremony of giving and receiving blessings. (While these ceremonies are traditionally separated by gender, if you feel particularly called to either description, we welcome you to go with your gut!) Just before 3:30, Sam’s group will walk to Danielle’s and there will be a short, modern interpretation of the Jewish unveiling ritual.

What To Wear

Saturday

Anything comfortable, festive and casual. Think New York fall: corn hole, jeans, layers, and anything cozy!
To clarify: not fancy!

Sunday

Cocktail, semi-formal, festive/ Forest-chic! :) Think dresses, jumpsuits, fancy pants/tops, suits, & ties. Remember layers!
Access to the ceremony space will require walking on gravel, so please be mindful of your shoe choice. (We recommend avoiding stilettos, but block heels, wedges, sandals and sneakers are a great choice!)
