Parenting is amazing. And hard. Really hard. But it can be so much better when we do it in a community of thoughtful, caring, supportive, inquisitive parents. Here’s a chance to be part of an amazing community from the comfort of your couch, one night a week. We will take up different parenting challenges and questions, share information and ideas from experts and from each other, and enjoy a bit of grown-up time. Facilitated by Beth Weisman, M.A., IKAR’s Early Childhood Engagement Consultant. Free and open to grown-ups with children ages birth-5 years. Members and non-members welcome. We will meet virtually Wednesdays from 8:30-9:30 pm 9/30, 10/7, 10/14, and 10/21. A Zoom link will be sent once we receive your RSVP. We hope you’ll join us!

This transition raises all the thorny questions about the relationship between religion and politics that we continue to grapple with today. Fire from heaven, resurrections, sea-splitting, and more – come study some of the wildest, most riveting stories in all of Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) in a monthly Beit Midrash led by Rabbis Brous, Panitz and Kasher.
