Our Prayers for Healing
Dear Shir Chadash Community,
In every one of our services we pray for those who are sick and in need of healing. It is important to us that our list is up-to-date and that we know who wants us to offer prayers. We have just a few names on our list currently where we don not have a record of who gave us the name. Please, if you gave us any of the names below, could you call the office and let us know?
May all who are sick find healing.

CLASSES WITH RABBI SILVER |
|
 |
Yoga for the Jewish Spirit
Fridays at 9:30 AM
**Please note: There will be no class NEXT Friday, November 27th **
|
Yoga and Judaism are different traditions but they share some profound truths about the human spirit. Join Rabbi Silver for a weekly one-hour yoga practice to get us physically and spiritually ready for Shabbat. You will need only a yoga mat and your curiosity. (Please note that while this class is suitable for beginners you should check with a medical practitioner that it will be safe for you.) |
|
|
|
The Deep Dive - A Book of Life
Tuesdays at 7 PM
|
One of the worst effects of the pandemic has been its impact on communal gathering. How are we supposed to maintain a nourishing, meaningful Jewish life when we can’t be together? This weekly class will use Michael Strassfeld’s A Book of Life to help illuminate and re-ground our personal spirituality, enriching both our own practices and our connections to each other.
|
|
|
|
Sisterhood Class: Psalms
Wednesdays at 10 AM
**Please note: There will be no class this Wednesday, November 25th **
|
The 150 poems in the book of Psalms address every aspect of the human condition. Join Rabbi Silver to explore a psalm a week. We’ll consider not only the poem itself but how it speaks to us and how we might integrate its wisdom into our lives. Please do bring along a Tanakh/Bible of your own. |
