7:00pm Class with Sam S. https://us02web.zoom.us/j/5284619173 Mitzvot (Divine Commandments) What are the mitzvot? Where do they appear in the Torah? What is their interpretation? What is their purpose? How have they been a basis for a Jewish life throughout the generations? How can they apply in our lives, how they can inspire us, and what opportunities can they give us to feel a sense of connection? We will look together at some of the sources and think about their meaning and relevance.
Sam plans to start with a general discussion of what mitzvot are and why they are important.

JCM want to create a functional and beautiful outdoor space for events, services, classes, etc. We need an expert in outdoor design, construction, budgeting, etc. to help us design the space. We will look for grants for support in building this project, but we will need to design the space with budgets and timelines first.
Chanukah store schedule this week: Monday - Friday 10am - 2pm or by appointment.
Ellyn is also willing to help you shop from the comfort of your home and deliver or leave a bag outside the building for no-contact shopping.
We have what you need to have a fun and festive holiday! ____________________
