Lessons on Shabbat and on each Jewish holiday will fill the calendar as we travel through the year from Rosh Hashanah through Shavuot. Students will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of each holiday and its associated traditions, customs and life’s lessons. Music, drama, art and food are some of the exciting and interactive mediums that are used when teaching the holidays. Beginning with the origins of the mitzvoth, stressing practical applications in our daily lives, our students will explore a personal Jewishness.

The goal of our Hebrew School is to experience and deepen Jewish knowledge which will strengthen your children’s understanding of G‑d, their identification with the Jewish people, their involvement in the synagogue, their participation in Jewish life and their determination to live as Jews. We need your help to achieve this goal! With your interest and participation, your child will see Hebrew school as a privilege and opportunity to learn about their Jewish identity. Thank you for taking on this commitment and welcome to the team!

No matter how accomplished, happy, wealthy or talented you may be, at some point you’ll find yourself seeking a deeper meaning in life. You have read the works of every kind of philosopher, psychologist and spiritualist imaginable. It is time you look within – within your hearts, your souls, your heritage – and unleash the spirit within you. The Jew has this unique ability to cry and laugh at the very same time. This lecture will glance at the past, present and future of our people – the lows and the highs, the crying and the laughter, and the “oy veys” and the joys.

The Jewish people believe by definition that G‑d is the single creator and animator of the world. He has no helpers, no children and no rivals. Judaism mandates that Jewish people follow the mitzvot, Divine commandments. Major mitzvot include resting and celebrating on Shabbat and Jewish holidays, eating kosher foods, studying Torah, and living in accordance with its teachings. Judaism is based on the G‑d's covenant with the forefathers and the revelation at Sinai, when He chose the Jewish people as His own and they committed to follow the Torah.

Practical and inspirational articles, pictorial essays and guides on pregnancy and birth - from our Women's site. The Kabbalists say that a person’s destiny is wrapped up in the combination of Hebrew letters that make up his or her name. Circumcision is the first commandment given by G-d to Abraham, the first Jew, and is central to Judaism. Two can become one—when soulmates tap into the singular soul they share. Join us as we explore this quest for oneness, as empowered by the timeless laws and traditions of the Jewish wedding and marriage.

Shabbat: the island of time that defines the Jew’s week. The rituals, the practices, the do’s, and the don’ts of the Jewish Sabbath—and how you can experience it all for yourself. The Mitzvah that binds our minds with our hearts and deeds, and allows a daily reunification within ourselves and with G-d. Tefillin: the what, the why, and the how-to. Learn the Torah view on giving tzedakah with a site full of stories, how-to guides, questions & answers, audio classes, videos, essays, texts, and much more.

When couples delay seeking help, issues can become so deeply ingrained that they are difficult to resolve. Over time, persistent failure to address problems can lead to irreparable damage that ultimately ends relationships. Rarely is it one cataclysmic event. Rather, between the first sign of trouble and the filing of a divorce is a slow but steady breakdown—a “death by a thousand cuts,” as the saying goes. And although each situation is different, I wonder whether there is some identifiable point when a marriage tips over from being salvageable to its inevitable demise.

A parent can easily say "no" 200-300 times a day to a young child. After a barrage of "no's," a child can become so inured to the pain that he stops listening. Obviously, a parent must set limits, but it is also essential to show empathy as you do so. Teaching children to face life's endless disappointments, losses and frustrations with determination and discipline is what helps them build ego-strengths! Even if they rant and rave and accuse you of being the meanest parent on earth, they will – one day - appreciate the fact that you cared enough to protect them.

He said, “Please stand for me in this test, so they will not say, ‘The other tests were of no substance.’” The other tests included being thrown in a fiery furnace for not worshipping Nimrod. Not complaining when he had to leave the land promised him so as not to starve. Not flinching with fear when he ran to save his nephew from the powerful armies that had captured him. Not wavering from his faith when he had been promised many children and not a single one had been born. Yes. Because all these tests only demonstrated that Abraham was a man with a cause.

Thus, when God, your God, will bring you into the land that you are entering in order to possess, you must position those pronouncing the blessing facing Mount Gerizim and those pronouncing the curse facing Mount Eival. For you are crossing the Jordan River in order to enter and take possession of the land that God, your God, is giving you; you will indeed take possession of the land and settle it. The following are the rules and ordinances that you must safeguard by studying how to perform them in the land that God, God of your forefathers, is giving you to possess all the days that you live

Every week, for the 25 hours beginning just before sundown on Friday until after night has fallen on Saturday night, Jewish people celebrate Shabbat, a period of rest and spiritual rejuvenation. Jewish women and girls (or men, when there are no women present) light Shabbat candles 18 minutes before sunset on Friday afternoon and on the eve of Jewish holidays, often in the dining room where the festive holiday meal will soon take place. Single girls and women light one candle, and married women light (at least) two candles.

You did something wrong. Of that, you’re sure. Does that mean you must forever publicly beat your chest to be accepted in polite society? A closer look at the High Priest’s confession on Yom Kippur tells an empowering story about how we ought to look at our past—and our future. Suppose you accidentally left a twenty-dollar bill outside and only after the fact you realized that someone who really needed it found it and bought lunch. Do you deserve any credit? From an awkwardly placed verse in a discussion about sacrifices we learn that yes, such a donation may just be the most noble of all.

The Rosh Chodesh Society's upcoming course, A Work of Heart, flings the cover off the Jewish prayer book, the prayer services, and the synagogue, exposing the beating and beautiful heart of prayer that breathes within. It reveals prayer as an art and an opportunity, a means of human-to-G‑d bonding, a journey of self-discovery, a perspective changer, and an exercise in self-empowerment. Like every specialized art, prayer must be learned. A Work of Heart travels the principles, liturgy, and mysticism underlying the Jewish prayers in a soulful journey of seven lessons.
