Called to Serve

1st Session (11/9/26) with Rabbi Silver. Most of us first formed our ideas about God when we were adolescents. And if we’re honest, we may not have changed them a whole lot since then. But our tradition has a whole spectrum of ways to get to know, and know about, the Divine, and some of them are definitely for grown-ups. Join Rabbis Panitz and Silver for a text-based class designed to shake out and renew our relationship to/with God. We may be surprised at what we discover. (Note: belief in God is not a condition of entry!)

1st session (11/8/26) This drop-in class is open to anyone who wants to explore the subject of our aging, with the aim of creating community as we turn towards this largely uncharted terrain. Prior to every meeting you will be emailed a poem in English which will serve as a springboard for practical exercises and meaningful conversations that incorporate our tradition’s wisdom and our own. Together we will set new goals for approaching our aging with humor, insight, purpose and grace. Recommended age 55+.

We must never, ever doubt that a better future is possible. Haye Sarah 5787 – November 7, 2026

1st Session 11/4/26 With a focus on Shabbat morning liturgy, this class will help folks gain familiarity with the words and melodies that we sing each Saturday morning. No Hebrew skills? We’ve got you covered: prayers will be presented in English transliteration. No musical skills? No worries: we’ll teach the melodies note by note. At the end of this class, you’ll be confidently belting out all the greatest hits.
