Gratefulness Shabbat
2020-11-20 18:00 - 19:30 UTC | Shir Hayam Zoom Room
Friday, November 20th 6PM Shabbat We are aware that this may be a very difficult Thanksgiving for many of us. Perhaps our usual family or friends gatherings are not happening. As the rains and cold weather have arrived, even the little outdoor gatherings that we may have had, are disappearing. Financial worries may be weighing on you or your families. Sometimes focusing on the things we have to be grateful for can be a helpful antidote to feeling overwhelmed. In this spirit, and the spirit of Thanksgiving, we are offering a Gratefulness Shabbat. We would like folks who want to participate to share a reading, poem, painting etc that shares your feelings or thoughts about gratitude. If you can, I would love to make your sharings into a PDF that can be mailed out ahead of time. That way, those participating can absorb your words or get to look at your images more completely. Please send them to Robin Hruska.

Chanukah Party
2020-12-17 17:30 - 19:30 UTC | Shir Hayam Zoom Room
We will light menorahs together and play some games. Robin Hruska has a downloaded Chanukkah Bingo game we can play together that has 32 individual boards. Plenty for all. To help things go smoothly, if you can email her ahead of time, she can send you a board before the party.

Zooming into Purim February 27th at 4 pm.
We are planning for Purim and it takes us all to throw a proper party!
We are looking for folks to help perform the megillah, perhaps sing a tune, play an instrument to entertain us and poets to recite their Purim themed poems for the occasion. (Perhaps bowing down to false idols is a pertinent topic for some of you). Contact ruach@shirhayam.org to volunteer.
Even if you are just planning on attending, think about wearing a hat or crown to celebrate!

Spring Shabbat
2021-03-19 17:30 - 19:00 UTC | Shir Hayam Zoom Room
Shabbat Evening March 19th at 5:30 On the edge of Spring, Jill Onewein will lead us in this month’s Shabbat. Look forward to kiddush and a discussion based on this week’s parsha, Vayikra.

We will send out 2 readings prior to the service from Rabbi Jonathan Sachs and also from Shefa Gold’s book, Torah Journeys. Rabbi Gold brings a modern and relevant interpretation of Vayikra, which is traditionally about sacrifice. Jonathan Sacks commentary about Hope and Optimism is also quite illuminating. Reading these two articles ahead of time will help you jump right in to the discussion. Hope to see you there in the Shir Hayam Zoom Room.

Shabbat Evening March 16th at 5:30 Dee Axelrod will lead us in this month’s evening Shabbat in the Zoom Room. April is Poetry Month, and April is a time when we find days lengthening. So for this Shabbat, we’ll explore “light” in poetry and any other forms of writing. (or music. whatever people want to bring to the table). Whether it’s the spotlight of social justice shining on this particular moment, or the feeling of literally emerging from our houses back into the light, Wherever the notion of “light” takes you. Each year the month of April is set aside as National Poetry Month, a time to celebrate poets and their craft.
