At the end of Shabbat Services Friday night we asked community members to share pictures form their Shabbat table. After all, while we might have to welcome Shabbat from a distance for the time that doesn’t mean we we aren’t able to share Shabbat services together. #CommunityNeverCloses

New: Seventh Grade Connect and Be Mindful together! 7:30 pm Monday, March 30
Parents, please set your 7th grader up to join our virtual get together- I will lead an intro, discussion, and would love to hear from your child how they have made a difference to someone these past weeks- or how they hope to do so moving forward.
Then we will have a 30 minute mindfulness session with Bela Barbosa, who is the TSTI mindfulness expert. This is in addition to their private Hebrew lessons also on Monday. We miss them and can’t wait to connect! This class will be ongoing until we are together in person.
NEW: Building a Business and Publishing Content on the Internet

Then participate in an open discussion about building a business and publishing content on the internet, and other questions you have. This class is for teens who are either looking for something to keep themselves occupied now and want to build their own websites, but also to help lay the groundwork for their professional lives after school.
