SHABBAT SHALOM!
Erev Shabbat Friday, June 17
Growing/Storytelling Shabbat!, 6:00 pm Online Only We are only on Zoom this week to facilitate storytelling and discussion! See more information below. Our Growing Shabbat service is for all and geared specifically for families and children of all ages. Zoom information: Join Meeting>> Meeting ID: 822 1265 3173
Mussar, 10:00 am Online Only Please join us for our monthly Mussar Torah Study. We will study parashat B'haalot'cha - Numbers 8:1-12:16. The focus will be on the middah/soul trait of Anavah/Humility in Leadership. Moses, the "very humble" will be on our minds.
Storytelling Shabbat Friday, June 17, 6:00 pm Online
We all have our own stories to tell, from small observations and experiences, to things that had a big impact on us. This Shabbat Nancy Snyder will tell a story or two, and invite you to tell one as well. Everyone, of any age, is welcome to share in a small group, or just listen to what others tell.
In this week’s Torah portion we learn about the Israelites’ journey as they prepare to leave Sinai, with stops along the way to the promised land. We’ll share stories about trips we’ve taken, or episodes in our life journeys. You might think about:
When something happened that was different than you expected
When you knew that it was time to move forward, or time to stop
A time when you were among people who were together with you on the trip or the journey (including, for example, family trips or times at camp.)
Healing & Havdalah Saturday, June 18, 7:00 pm Online
Rabbi Seth leads havdalah every month on the third Saturday of the month. These are an opportunity to informally gather as one community, and to support one another through the ongoing challenges. We will schmooze, connect with old friends and make new ones. We will have a short healing service with prayer, meditation and sharing, and conclude with Havdalah. However you seek healing in your life right now, you are welcome. Zoom information: Join Meeting>> Meeting ID: 867 0471 0982
Online Senior Schmooze Tuesday, June 21, 12:00 pm Online

Adult B’nai Mitzvah Group Forming!
Are you Jewish and never had a b’nai mitzvah? Whatever the reason it didn’t happen when you were 13, it is not too late. Having an adult b’nai mitzvah can be a wonderful way to celebrate and affirm one’s Jewish identity. Rabbi Seth is forming an adult b’nai mitzvah cohort to meet monthly over the course of the coming year (beginning in the fall) with the goal of a group ceremony in May of 2023. We will have the opportunity to learn together and plan together based on both individual and group interests, as well as engage with a curriculum developed by Rabbi Seth. All skill levels welcome. If you are interested, please contact rabbi@bethhatfiloh.org to let him know. Again, this is the name collecting phase, we will have an orientation for interested folks in the late summer, so even if you are not sure, reach out!
DONATIONS PLEASE! Celia's Mitzvah Project
Hi, My name is Celia Brockman, and my Bat Mitzvah is an upcoming event here at Temple Beth Hatfiloh. A community service project or “Mitzvah Project” is usually included in a Bat Mitzvah, For my Mitzvah Project, I am focusing on Period Poverty. Period Poverty is when women are experiencing economic stress which results in their not being able to afford the expenses of womens hyigene products. I am creating a donation bin here at the Temple for community members to donate products. I will collect those products and bring them to a local organization where they would be given to women in need. Contributions of any kind including cash donations, pads or tampons are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
