Annual Turkey Drive for JFS

9:00 AM - 12:00 PMBeth El Temple, 2626 Albany Ave, West Hartford, CT 06117
The need for turkey donations is great this year, as there are so many in our community who risk going without a holiday meal. Thanks to your generosity last year, we were able to feed all of the families who reached out to JFS in need! With your help we can help make Thanksgiving a holiday everyone in our community can celebrate! Last year, Beth El Temple delivered more than 320 turkeys and $8,500 to the Anja Rosenberg Kosher Food Pantry at JFS. That meant 360 families had a special Thanksgiving last year, and we are determined to help even more families this year. Please drop off a frozen KOSHER turkey on Sunday, November 24, between 9am and noon at Beth El Temple. Volunteers will collect turkeys or checks (made out to Jewish Family Services with "food pantry" in the memo). See bethelwesthartford.org for details. |

FebFebruary 13 , 2025God is Here: Exploring Metaphors for the Divine
Thursday, Feb 13th 6:00p to 7:30p
Join Rabbis Debra Cantor and Rachel Zerin for a hands-on exploration of different metaphors for the Divine. These metaphors are all deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, while broadening the ways we think about, talk about, and relate to God and the idea of the Holy. Inspired by Rabbi Toba Spitzer's book "God is Here: Reimagining the Divine," we will use text study, discussion, writing, art, ritual, and more to think about how language and metaphor shape our experiences - and how language and metaphor can either limit or expand how we experience holiness in our lives.
