Adult Ed Book Club
Adult Ed Book Club
April 1, 2024 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
The Spring 2024 Adult Ed Book Club is reading: Jewish Priorities: Sixty-Five Proposals for the Future of Our People edited by David Hazony
“Imagine having the entire Jewish people over for dinner—and hosting a raucous, creative, riveting debate about their collective future. Jewish Priorities offers, for the first time, a wide-ranging, ambitious, and genuinely “pan-Jewish” conversation. Encompassing more than sixty top authors from around the Jewish world—Israelis and Diaspora writers; younger influencers and veteran opinion leaders; rabbinic and communal leaders, journalists and scholars, and literary and cultural figures, ranging from secular to ultra-Orthodox—each contributor offers a different priority for the Jewish people. In the process, Jewish Priorities captures the tremendous breadth, depth, and passionate commitment that has long defined this unique community in history." (description for Amazon)
The book club will meet in person at the synagogue on Mondays from 7:30-8:30 on the following schedule (with a big break in the middle for holidays): April 1, 8, 15 May 13, 20, 27
Please RSVP to Deb Varat to be added to the email list

Rosh Chodesh
Rosh Chodesh
April 10, 2024 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Rosh Chodesh has been a “half holiday” for centuries. Rosh Chodesh groups allow smaller groups of women who are at least 13 to come together to talk, learn, and laugh. We would like all adults who identify as female to know that they are invited to Temple Shalom’s very casual Rosh Chodesh group, which meets monthly around the start of the new Jewish month. We have opening and closing prayers, and sometimes we have a theme, but often we just chat and have a wonderful time with each other. If there are things that you would like to add to what we do, or if you just want to meet some folks of different generations who enjoy each other’s company, please come and join us — we would love to have you!Contact Maxine Wish or Nancy Bloom for more information. We meet in a hybrid fashion when possible or just on Zoom when necessary.
