Learn basic textile mending skills and explore the significance of repair, both environmentally and through a Jewish lens. 

Wednesday, March 25 | 6:00-8:00 pm – Makom (402 College St)

We’ll begin with a kosher, vegan dinner, followed by a short text study and discussion with Rabbi Aaron. Then, we’ll have an hour of hands-on learning to mend clothing with Shoresh educator Rebecca.

Bring your clothing and textiles that need a little love, and any yarn or materials you have that you’d like to work with. 

You’ll receive a basic mending kit you can take home with you, including darning needles, a darning egg, and some yarn swatches you can choose from.

This is a beginner, introductory workshop; no experience necessary! Come learn some new skills, or enjoy an enriching community space to continue your learning. 

Please try to arrive on time to maximize our workshop time.

Brought to you by Shoresh and Makom: Creative Downtown Judaism
