SUMMARY:Tot Shabbat
DESCRIPTION:Nothing is more heartwarming than the sight of the youngest members of our community running to the sanctuary for Shabbat! Typically held on the first Saturday of the month\, Tot Shabbat affords our children and their families the time and space to truly experience the joys of Shabbat. Nell Hirsch\, our children’s music specialist\, leads Tot Shabbat with the assistance of Rabbi Holzman\, Cantor Caro\, or Rabbi Barrett. \nSongs\, stories\, plenty of active participation\, an Ark overflowing with plush stuffed Torahs\, and a child-friendly d’var Torah (lesson). What could be better? Well\, maybe the oneg! \nEach service is followed by a delicious nut-free oneg (personal snacks are allowed but they must be nut free) and a fun activity! Paint your own mezuzah; build an edible sukkah of pretzels\, fruit\, and marshmallows; or decorate your own tzedakah box – the fun is endless! \nWhile Tot Shabbatot (plural for Shabbat) are designed for toddlers and preschoolers\, the whole family is invited to attend. If you have any questions\, please contact Emily Hummel.

SUMMARY:Jewish Historians\, History\, and Historiography
DESCRIPTION:Jewish Historians\, History\, and Historiography\nAndrew Stein\nOctober 8\, 15\, 22\, November 5\, 12 December 3\, 10\, January 7\, 14\, 21\, February 4\, 11\, March 3\, 10\, 17\, 24\n9:30-10:45\, on Zoom \nThis course will take a broad view of Jewish history\, how it was envisioned over the\ncenturies\, and how over about the last 250 years\, modern Jewish historians have\ntrained\, written\, taught\, and practiced their craft. We will focus primarily on the period\nfrom about 1500 to 2000 CE and examine a range of themes and approaches in Jewish\nhistory\, the legacy of exemplary historians of the Jewish experience\, and their changing\nperspectives\, methods\, and topics. We’ll also consider the continuum ranging from\ndispassionate\, professional historians sorting out the actual record\, versus history as\npopular memory\, a source of identity\, and drawing lessons from the past for the present\nand future of the Jewish people. Many among us also have probed Jewish history as\npart of our own family history research\, both in America and in our ancestors’ places of\norigin. Finally\, we will consider the role of archives and museums in conserving Jewish\nhistory and shaping our understanding of it. \nRegistration is required – click here to register!

SUMMARY:Hasidic Wisdom - It's Not Just Which Fur Hat
DESCRIPTION:Hasidic Wisdom – It’s Not Just Which Fur Hat\nTaught by: Cantor Caro\nWednesdays\, October 11\, November 8\, December 13\, January 31\, February 28\, March 27\, April 10\n12:00 – 1:00pm\, Hybrid \nHasidism was the response to an overly intellectual Judaism in the 17th century in\nEastern Europe. The Hasidic masters applied their insights of Jewish mysticism to\ndiscovering paths to one’s inner spiritual life in the midst of the challenges of everyday\nliving. Looking at the lineage of these sages\, we will explore some of their parables and\nsayings\, separating ourselves from our pre-conceived notions of Hasidic communities\ntoday in order to learn from the beautiful and inspired writings of these earlier teachers\nand sages. \nWe will be using Martin Buber’s Tales of The Hasidim – please purchase your own copy for the class. \nRegistration is required – click here to register!
