Welcoming the Stranger ~ Immigration Justice: Jewish Values in Action (A Monthly Sermon Series)
Fridays: February 27, March 13, April 10, May 8, June 12, July 17 (6:30 p.m.)
The Torah tells us over 30 times that we must remember the stranger because we were once strangers in Egypt. But what does that mean? How do we turn our Jewish values into action? Our Friday Night Sermon Series focusing on Jewish Values in Action will help.

Thank you to all of our speakers, our organizers, our bakers and oneg volunteers, and everyone who showed up to learn about these important issues.

LEARN TO READ BIBLICAL HEBREW, FOR FREE AND ACCORDING TO YOUR OWN SCHEDULE:

From Jill Maidhof, Chair of the Adult Education Committee:

I highly recommends an online program called Aleph With Beth. https://freehebrew.online/how-it-works/
DO read how the program works and how you can access resources.

Two notes:
1) It looks at first glance like a child’s program. IT IS NOT!
2) It’s produced by a Christian couple, revealed by their use of the term Yaweh instead of the Adonai. I’ve watched over 100 lessons and “Yaweh” is the only Christian reference in the program. I just substitute “Adonai” as I watch.
