This week at shul! A note about links (again). There is a problem with the links "breaking" when the emails go out, and some people are having a problem with them in the emails. Links will now take you to the JCM website where there will be a live link. Thank you for your patience while we figure out the best way to get you the information you want.
Tuesday, July 21 @ 6:30pm Zoom Class led by Sam Shnider Click here for the link Mystical insights on the Torah from a Hassidic perspective, by the renowned rebbe, storyteller and kabbalist of Uman, Rabbi Nachman of Bretzlav.
If you have ever wondered about Hassidic thought, or heard about the ecstatic intense spiritual worlds of the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggids, come participate in a discussion and reading of selections from the grandson of the founder of the Hassidic movement.
A Tish (Yiddish for "table") is a spiritual gathering in the Chasidic tradition. It usually involves teachings on the Torah and other holy texts, singing wordless melodies known as niggunim, and usually l'chaims and refreshments. Everyone is welcome - it's an informal event, bring your own drink and nosh!

____________________ What is Pluralistic?
We keep using that word, but what does it mean? It means that we recognize and appreciate that while we all feel connected as Jews, we may be looking for different ways of praying, learning, celebrating, just being Jewish...
We are still a community together, and we can work together to make sure that all of get what we need. Just High Holidays? great. Weekly Mahj game? excellent. Weekly Torah study? we're here for you. Something totally different? We'll figure it out.
We're different kinds of Jewish. Together.
But it takes all of us to join, renew, donate, and participate in the planning to make sure that your needs are represented. If we can do it, we will.
That is pluralistic and welcoming Judaism. ____________________
