REMINDER: Temple Anshe Hesed Annual Meeting is taking place on Wednesday, June 11 at 7:00pm. Sweet treats provided. RSVP using the button below.

 Featuring Rachel Sennott’s Danielle, and as far as I know, the first depiction of a Jewish bisexual character in any film, “Shiva Baby” gives the tone of “Uncut Gems,” the comedy of a Coen Brothers movie, topped with the intersectionality of a Joey Soloway project.

Hello! 

WOW!! I have just heard about an incredible opportunity for those aged 26-50* to visit Israel. This incredible program is being created by the Reform Movement to help people to better understand Israel and to have an incredible Israel experience. The cost of the program is ONLY $600 and that includes your flight (from Toronto, NY or 6 other major cities), accommodations, tours/experiences and many of your meals.

Note – any non-Jewish spouses are also welcome to participate in the program!

In addition to the 8 day trip, you can extend your stay (based on flight availability) and spend more time in Israel.

If you have any questions, I would be happy to speak with you, please be in touch!

Shalom,

Rabbi Morais

*If you fall outside this age range but are interested in participating, please contact Rabbi Morais.

J. Leonard Ostrow Award for High School Students and Adults

This newly revised award is now open to high school students and adults from both Temple Anshe Hesed and Brith Sholom. This unique award is a quarterly award, and may be used for a trip to Israel, other travel, or Jewish studies, which may include tuition, conferences, leadership development, or other Jewish experiences.
