Shalom Sensations for Babies introduces you and your baby to a world of rich and varied sensory experiences in a creative and enjoyable environment to encourage learning and development.
Shalom Sensations gives your child a rich sensory experience and for you to meet other Jewish parents. Through the many activities, your baby will explore through their senses (e.g. visual, auditory and tactile) and discover inner peace (Shalom). By enhancing physical contact (massage, touching, cuddling, rocking and climbing) your baby will develop confidence and a build a positive parent-child connection. Early experiences with a variety of sensory activities promote the development of language, social emotional and physical skills.

This class focuses on giving contemporary parents the tools they need to bring holiness into their daily lives. We’ll begin by taking a look at the soul planted within us and how we can integrate it into other aspects of our life. We’ll rediscover the spiritual side of food and eating; and appreciate the wonder of the human body. We’ll explore the many blessings that invoke holiness at bedtime, when we awake, and when we are outside appreciating the wonders of nature. We’ll learn the central core at the heart of every Jewish prayer service. Each class will introduce blessings and prayers with an explanation of their meaning and their accompanying melodies. Come be inspired and have your joy of life expanded and enriched.Taught by Natan Meir. Free to Neveh Shalom members, $36 for non-members. (no class on Oct. 11)

We will gather each week to find some moments of quiet. We’ll start with a brief teaching and/or song, and then sit together in silence. We’ll end with brief optional hevruta (Jewish study) sharing. This is for folks with experience in meditation, those with curiosity but no experience, and those who wonder what happens when Jews aren’t talking the whole time. The group will be led by Deborah Eisenbach-Budner and community members. Please call 503-248-4662 ext 5 with any questions. Come when you can.
