Congregation Etz Chayim

CD Release Party - Kathy Sherman

CD release of congregant Kathy Sherman's new album, "Welcome to the Folksong Cafe".

Moderators: Alternating between Rabbi Cartun and Hanoch Eiron CJDF’s intent is to be a vibrant forum for discussing issues of the day, ethical and historical issues and other topics chosen by the participants. The discussions will be moderated, open and respectful. Experts may be invited to provide expert views on some topics. For some meetings suggested readings will be provided in advance. Jewish aspects will be explored in the discussions, although Jewish studies is not the focus of this Forum. Monthly, the 2nd Sunday evening, beginning November 13, 7-8:30 p.m. This is a follow up to Hanoch’s introductory discussion on Yom Kippur.

Instructor: Joanna Zimmerman Learn the basics of engaging in a modern Hebrew dialogue, emphasizing vocabulary, useful phrases, practical grammar, and trying to acquire an “Israeli accent.” Weekly on Tuesday nights, beginning October 25, 7-8:30 p.m. Class length and curriculum will be determined by the interests of the attendees.

Immun (What You Can Affirm) Class for Adults Instructor: Rabbi Cartun Immun means Affirming, and is what we do when we say, “Amen!” This is an opportunity to encounter traditional concepts which you may believe and redefine classical Jewish concepts you cannot affirm in line with your beliefs. Monthly on Tuesday nights, 7:30-9:00 p.m. from October to May
