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 invite you to join us on Friday, Dec. 30, to welcome Shabbat, spread the light of the Chanukah candles, and share our feelings, fears, and hopes for the difficult times we are facing as a country. For those of us who came together on the Sunday after the election, it was a powerful expression of community, and there have been requests to identify some next steps. It continues to feel premature to launch a specific action plan. Instead, it seems more appropriate to gather in community, listen to how we are doing, and continue conversations about our hopes and fears about areas such as immigrants and refugees, poverty and homelessness, climate change, equity, and gun control.
We will begin by lighting the Chanukah and Shabbat candles, sing some songs, and then spend our time talking and listening. There will not be a formal Friday night service.
