This Weekend

KABBALAT SHABBAT ~ 6:00pm
Join us for this start to Shabbat  with a Pre-Oneg at 5:30pm and services starting at 6:00pm.
 
SHABBAT MORNING SERVICE ~9:30am
We'll be having Shabbat morning services every week from 9:30am - 10:30am. The service is a lovely, meditative, and peaceful way to start the day. Whether we have five or fifty, we'll be mixing traditional chanting with songs both old and new tunes to create a prayerful space for connection.
 
TORAH STUDY ~10:30am
Torah study with bagels and coffee will begin at 10:30am and go until 11:45ish. We'll look at both modern scholarship, traditional commentary, and considering how these ancient texts can help us explore our own spiritual lives, our values, and what it means to be human.

Mazel Tov to Zach Loiter

On Saturday, June 16, Zach Loiter, son of Aimee and Jeff Loiter, received the designation of Eagle Scout.

Eagle Scout  is the highest  achievement  or rank attainable in the  Boy Scouting  program of the  Boy Scouts of America  (BSA). The designation "Eagle Scout" was founded over one hundred years ago. Only four percent of Boy Scouts are granted this rank after a lengthy review process.  The requirements necessary to achieve this rank take years to fulfill.

We congratulate Zach on this great achievement!

A NEW BOOK STARTED
Jewish History Study Group
Wednesdays | 11:00am

Our Jewish History Study Group is pleased to announce their new book selection for their group study.  The new book, The Jewish Contribution to the Modern World,  is the the story of the extraordinary post-emancipation, Jewish participation in the shaping of 20th and 21st Century civilization. The book explores an impressive array of Jewish talent and creativity. Award-winning journalist, Joe King of Montreal, profiles some 250 brilliant Jews, spelling out the immense and disproportionate influence they have had on shaping the world in which we live.
