Reading The Women of the Bible with Rabbi Rachel Zerin
Wednesday, Feb 18th 6:00p to 7:15p
Join Rabbi Rachel Zerin and Women's Network for an engaging class designed to explore the often-overlooked stories of women in the Hebrew Bible. Together, we’ll uncover their voices, examine their choices, and consider what their lives teach us today. Through discussion, learning, and shared reflection, this class offers a chance to connect more deeply with our tradition—and with one another. Note: Evening minyan begins at 5:30 pm (and please join us if you can!). Class will begin at approximately 6:00pm.

Exploring the Siddur: A deep dive into the language, meaning, music, and origins of our prayers
Shabbat, Feb 21st 5:00p to 6:30p
Back by popular demand, now expanded with a learner's service and Havdallah!

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.
