“Merriam will also dance and sing and get us all up and moving and feeling great,” said Rabbi Ari Moffic, director of Congregational Learning. “We are going to start the Zoom with my introduction about why we as a Temple community celebrate Pride Month (in June and every day) and about all people being made in God's image.”

Merriam will talk in age-appropriate ways about Pride and then go into her signature song, Proud Merri.

“We invite the entire community to join in this joyous and educational celebration,” Rabbi Moffic added.
