A Fresh Look at Israel and the Mideast, facilitated by Rabbi Scott White (5:30-7:00, 4th Tuesday of the month* October 23-April 30)
Location: Ulam

At 75, Israel is strong enough and secure enough for an objective assessment of its handling of ongoing conflict with Arabs, inside its borders and out.  Each of our 10 monthly gatherings begins with a half-hour discussion about current happenings in Israel and the Mideast, followed by a full hour’s immersion into the history of the 100-year conflict.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED: Register Here
IN PERSON: We’ll meet on Zoom only during very inclement weather

*Unless otherwise specified. See Congregational Calendar

Interfaith Conversations (STAY TUNED FOR SUMMER SCHEDULE)
Location: TBD

Join our Interfaith Conversations group aimed at interfaith couples, Jews-by-choice and the Jewish-adjacent. Whether participants are planning an interfaith wedding, integrating family traditions or negotiating life as a new Jew, they’ll find a warm, supportive environment to share the joys and challenges they face. The open-ended, peer-led discussion will provide a safe space for folks to ask questions, compare notes and find community.

Open to the community – drop-ins welcome! (Check-in required to enter building.)

Questions about the group can be sent to Emily Albano at emily.v.albano@gmail.com.
