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)

Last month it was rain. This month it is heat! Due to extreme weather, Shabbat in the Park has been cancelled.
When your bluegrass band can’t make it due to the temperature, you know it’s time to celebrate Shabbat at Home. We want all of our congregants and their guests to stay cool and healthy, so there will not be evening services at the synagogue on Friday the 19th.
Young children (0-5) and their parents celebrate Shabbat with singing, movement, blessings and storytelling. We touch on the main highlights of the Shabbat morning service: wonder, fun, song, listening to the world, dancing and Torah. Afterward we enjoy an informal oneg nosh and the chance to play and schmooze. Led by Deborah Eisenbach-Budner.
It’s time to put an end to evil Haman!
Get out your wildest costume and join Shir Tikvah for a festive meal and family-friendly reading of the Megillah.
This year’s Purim will have an international twist – including customs from Italy, Tunisia and France, as well as treats from Syria and Morocco. Enjoy the entries in our annual Hamantaschen contest for dessert.
