Shabbat Morning: Hayyai Sarah
Services through (at least) the end of November will be hybrid, in the Sanctuary and on line. Services begin at 10:00 a.m.
In order to simplify our technical needs, we will be livestreaming the service (see links below), and it will not be interactive. As a result, we will not be screen sharing or calling on people from home to lead parts of the service.
A pdf of the siddur is available hereLink to PDF so you can follow from home if you do not have a siddur. If you need a bible, please be in touch with our office or consider purchasing a copy of Siddur Lev Shalem and Humash Etz Hayyim for your home library.
This week we read Parshat Hayyai Sarah announcing Sarah’s death and celebrating her life (“these are the stories of Sarah’s life”). Rabbinic Intern Lisa Feld will lead parts of the service and offer the teaching.

Adult Ed Course with Reb Nikki Thursday, May 1st 8:00p to 9:00p What are we talking about when we talk about "Israel"?
The name "Israel" in Jewish texts can have many meanings: the person, the nation, the land, and the modern state. In this six-session class, we will be examining different uses of the name "Israel" by looking at sources ranging from the Torah to modern thinkers. Together, we will gain deeper understanding into its meaning by looking at the connections between and teasing apart the differences among the range of meanings of the word, and be able to discern what we are talking about when we talk about Israel.
