Family Shabbat Service & Teacher Appreciation, 6:00 pm Our family-geared Shabbat in the comfort of your own home! Grab your computer and candles, and we'll join together in virtual community. This will also be the opportunity to thank our teachers, madrichim and volunteers for all they have done this year. Services will be hosted on Facebook Live and Zoom.
Mussar is the Jewish school of thought which seeks to root personal character development and right behavior in Jewish tradition and text. We will gather to learn more about this tradition and how it may benefit our lives.
Join us tonight for Advancing in Hebrew! Advancing is Hebrew is for anyone with a reading fluency of Hebrew (decoding) who wants to do more a deep dive into grammar and vocabulary. Our focus is on the siddur, and we will be using an interlinear translation (PDF) to read through the text and break down words and phrases. 7:00 p.m. on Zoom.

High Holiday Survey
As we continue to navigate this pandemic, we know that things will not return to “normal” in the near future. We will need to continue to find new and creative ways to come together as a community.
In just about 3 months, we will celebrate the High Holidays. And as we make our plans as a congregation, we need your input. We may not be able to observe in the way we are accustomed, but with your help we can create opportunities that are meaningful, spiritual, and educational, connecting us to one another and to the divine spirit.

Evergreen Course: Many Israels
This summer Nancy Koppelman, faculty at Evergreen, is teaching a class, all on line including twice-weekly live discussions, called "Many Israels." Nancy is currently a faculty fellow at the Schusterman Center at Brandeis University, which included a month-long intensive study of Israel last summer. She has had a long-standing ambition to be able to offer a course like this at Evergreen. Spread the word to your Israel-curious friends, or maybe take the class yourself! Read the course description and contact Nancy if you have any questions. https://www.evergreen.edu/catalog/offering/many-israels-26106
