Shabbat morning, April 1st

Shabbat is an important time for our youth to come together and practice what they are learning in religious school. Kids in grades 2-5 will learn with Gesher teachers about the prayers and Torah portion. Preschool to 1st grade children are invited to Pray & Play with Jodie Raffensperger. B'nai Mitzvah students are encouraged to participate in the main services.

Wednesday mornings on Zoom
March 15th, 22nd, 29th, 11:00am
Each year, Jews around the world spend the weeks leading up to Pesah (Passover), preparing themselves for zman heiruteinu, the time of our freedom. This Hadar course, created by Dena Weiss, is designed to help you prepare for fruitful conversations around the Seder table.
In this course you will investigate the role of storytelling in the Seder and also beyond it. What are the stories that we tell? Why do we tell them? How can we get more out of them? And how
can telling a familiar story in a new way change who we are?
Rabbis Capptauber and Muroff will guide students through this curriculum. Please register by contacting Patty Brown – patty@bethelhbg.org, 717-232-0556.
