Thank you to all those who volunteered to help with the Jewish Family and Children Services Foster Care Annual Party and to everyone who brought dessert or made a donation. We had more volunteers than we needed and sadly, had to turn folks away. We have more opportunities to volunteer during Mitzvah Day on Sunday, January 13. You can register online for a wide variety of projects at Temple Solel and in the community.

Questions About Judaism We Haven't Asked the Rabbi
Come to explore with Judy Schaffert questions we might not bring up to clergy but we still wonder about. Examples may include: What do Jews believe about the messiah? Does being Jewish require more of me than living by the Golden Rule? What if I disagree with teachings in the Torah about slavery, the role of women, or homosexuality?
7:00-9:00pm January 15, January 22, and January 29
Free for Temple Solel Members, $18 for nonmembers
