Torah Troop for 3rd-5th Graders
1st and 3rd Shabbat every month at 10:00am
Torah Troop allows families at Congregation Neveh Shalom to move into the main sanctuary while still enjoying youth-oriented activity. At 10:00am, families meet in the main service. After the beginning Torah service, youth join their friends for a lesson on the Torah portion (parsha) of the week with adult leaders, and come back to help lead the Adon Olam at the end of the service.
As always, we end with our community for lunch!
The Havurah Synagogue in Ashland is pleased to present a live streaming program featuring Neshama Carlebach and Rabbi Menachem Creditor on Sunday, June 6 at 7:00 PM PST via Zoom. Learning to Believe Again Belief can be understood as cultivating the ability to hope for better days, building the strength to hold onto faith, and holding on to the Holy One.
