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. LInks to all events will be listed on the calendar; click on the event, and you will see the Zoom link to click.
Tuesday, July 28 @ 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!
Tisha B’Av is a day to mourn the ancient destruction of Jerusalem, 19 centuries of diaspora, and how we experience disconnection in our lives. This week’s Tish will focus on themes of healing from disconnection as we prepare for Tisha B’Av beginning just a few hours later.
