Exploring the Siddur: A deep dive into the language, meaning, music, and origins of our prayers
Shabbat, Nov 22nd 4:00p to 6:30p
Back by popular demand, now expanded with a learner's service and Havdallah! Continuing from our successful summer series, we will meet once a month for a seudah shleesheet (third meal of Shabbat), and a chance to learn with our rabbis/educators about the prayers in our Siddur. New this winter, we are expanding this series to include a learner's Mincha service before, and an in-person havdallah service that will engage all the senses at the end! Adults and teens of all backgrounds are welcome to join; no prior knowledge of Hebrew or the Machzor is necessary. This program is part of the Adult B'nei Mitzvah Program. All are welcome to attend for part or all of the evening, whether or not you are part of the Adult B'nei Mitzvah program. Suggested donation for dinner is $10 per person per session or $40 for the entire series. Click in to register!

Annual Turkey Drive for JFS
Sunday, Nov 23rd 9:00a to 12:00p
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 JFS families! This year we know we need 300+ frozen turkeys to feed the Greater Hartford families who need our help. Please bring your frozen turkeys (preferably kosher), pop your trunks and one of our volunteers will be there to assist you. If you cannot bring a turkey, a cash or check donation (made payable to Jewish Family Services with "food pantry" in the memo line) is also very much appreciated. This event will take place rain or shine!

Screening of Technion Documentary
Tuesday, Dec 2nd 7:00p to 9:00p
The Israel Engagement Committee welcomes you to screen the new documentary about the Technion. The film tells the story of a university born from a Zionist dream that transformed into a global scientific powerhouse, narrating the Technion’s pivotal role in shaping the State of Israel, from building the nation’s infrastructure during its infancy, to defending Israel through times of war, to creating the vibrant ecosystem of scientific and technological innovation we know today. It celebrates the desire to build a better future for the Jewish people. Click in to register!
