Short Story Discussion Group

First Monday of each month

7:30-8:30pm, on Zoom

Join us for a fourth year of monthly lay-led discussions of Jewish short stories. Four
NVHC members have selected the stories and will take turns leading the discussions.
Each session will stand on its own – you can attend whenever you have the time and
interest. We’ll meet on the first Monday of the month on Zoom at 7:30pm for 45 minutes
to an hour. Participants will receive the story and meeting links in advance. To sign up
for this year’s discussion group, email shortstories@nvhcreston.org. Even if you
participated last year, we’d like you to sign up again so that we can gauge interest in the
program and ensure that we have the correct email address for you.

Intro to Judaism

Introduction to Judaism is a class for anyone interested in learning more about Judaism – interfaith couples, those raising Jewish children, spiritual seekers, individuals considering conversion, and Jews who want a meaningful adult Jewish learning experience. Taught by all three NVHC clergy, this weekly cohort-based class gives a broad overview of Jewish life – holidays, theology, the Torah and other texts, history, antisemitism, life cycle celebrations, Israel, and Jewish culture. This class will feature holiday celebrations with the greater NVHC community and community reflection sessions with learned lay leaders to help students integrate into community life.

Mussar for Living Well in Challenging Times

Taught by: Cantor Caro

Tuesdays, October 27, November 17, March 16, April 13

7:00-8:30pm, in person and online

How do we remain grounded, hopeful, and connected when the world feels uncertain? In these classes, we will draw upon on the wisdom of our Jewish Mussar tradition—an understanding and practice of cultivating the qualities of soul and character that help us live with greater intention and integrity. Through the lens of those qualities, we will explore how we can navigate difficult conversations, respond to antisemitism with courage and resilience, strengthen community, and meet life’s complexities with compassion, purpose, and hope.
