A Guide For the Perplexed: Exploring Judaism with R' Lauren
7:00 pm Wednesdays: January 19 | February 16 | March 23 | April 20
Ever felt like you didn't even know where to begin in your exploration with Judaism? Or felt like the "4th child" at the Passover seder, who wasn't sure what questions to ask? I promise - you're not the only one! Rabbi Lauren will cover big questions and topics that mystify many of us about: the structure of the Friday night service; how to wrestle with a concept of God that just doesn't make sense anymore; and other big questions about how this ancient tradition fits into our 21st century lives. Each month will focus on a different topic that's on our minds - so bring your big, thorny questions and let's dive in. Please RSVP and let us know if you will be attending in person or via Zoom!
One Prayer Deep Dive: A Siddur Book Club
8:00 am Tuesdays (follows Minyan)
If you’ve ever sat in services and wished that you could better understand just one prayer at a time before moving onto the next one, this class is for you! Led by Rabbi Lauren, we’ll gather on Zoom to journey prayer-by-prayer through the morning service, looking at just one prayer a week (and occasionally, over multiple weeks). No Hebrew knowledge or prayer expertise required... just bring your questions, curiosity, and a siddur/prayerbook if you have one (we’ll also be sharing text on screen for those who don’t have a siddur at home).
Or Nashim is a group of women who come together to have fun, share interests and enrich their lives via social events, educational and spiritual programming. Rosh Hodesh serves as an anchor to its goals.
What's Hot and What's Not... In Israel
TBD | Mark your calendar to join Rabbi Mario Karpuj. Offered via Zoom, Rabbi Mario conducts an informal, and always lively, discussion about current events happening in and about Israel from Israel. Study materials & link posted to homepage.
Jews and Taboos Sessions for 8/9th and 10th Graders
4:30 pm Sunday, February 13 | Post b'nai mitzvah, our teens are invited to join teacher Rachel Lazarus for monthly discussion of topics that are important to our teens as they move farther into Jewish adulthood, but tend to to make some people uncomfortable. Topics are geared toward the interest of the group; and that most taboo of subjects ... God. For more information about this program, please reach out to Dr. Amy.
