This course will provide an introduction to four ancient classics in the Jewish library: the Hebrew Bible, the prayer book, the Talmud, and the Midrash, each of them constituting mini-libraries in their own right. We will look at selected texts in English, unriddle their secret codes, and learn how best to hear their ancient voices with modern ears. This is an entry level course, especially for people new to Judaism or intimidated by text study.

After serving for eighteen years as Editor in Chief of The Jewish Publication Society, Dr. Ellen Frankel now works as a freelance writer, librettist, editor, and community volunteer. She is the author of The Classic Tales, The Five Books of Miriam, The JPS Illustrated Children’s Bible, and a series of mystery books.

Join fellow congregants on Friday night December 13, at 6:30 pm for a warm and welcoming Shabbat experience. Sing together, have good food, congenial company and good conversation.

Become a Shabbat Dinner Host

In the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, enjoyable and meaningful opportunities to be together are more important than ever! This season’s first “Shabbat Dinners at Members’ Homes,” scheduled for Dec. 13, is a perfect example.

We’re beginning the process of rounding up hosts, and soon we’ll assign guests to individual homes. The special pleasure of being a host means seating eight or more (including you) at your table. Hosts provide the wine and the main course and coordinate the menu with their guests so that everybody contributes to the meal. The congregation will provide booklets with blessings and songs for the occasion.

Click Here to RSVP to attend or VOLUNTEER as a HOST.

We gather at our beautiful space on Shabbat morning to pray and learn together. Services include singing, praying, Torah study, Torah reading, meeting friends and a potluck lunch. We look forward to seeing you.
