Pay - lamed - lamed is the Hebrew root word of "prayer". The word palel means to pray for, or to believe possible. As part of our listening and learning sessions, we heard that people wanted a "Hebrew School for Adults", to deepen their participation in prayer services, including minyan, and to be able to lead services. This hour of learning is our first project. We're excited to grow with you.

Last year was a busy one. We celebrated Rabbi Muroff's 25 years with our congregation. We sang wordless melodies and long "amens" with Joey Weisenberg. We delved into Tales of the Talmud with Rabbi Ilyse. We read essays from the book The Fire Within Us. Our kids, through Gesher, learned about their Jewish heritage, and also celebrated growing up with faith, meeting children from different traditions.
