Our Jewish Holidays
Ever wondered about the origins of certain Jewish holidays?
Have you had questions about holiday customs and celebrations?
We can answer those questions, and more! Throughout the year, in advance of the next holiday on the calendar, a different member of our Shul community will lead a short 30 minute program. Presenters will have creative control, however each program will cover what the holiday is, how it came to be, observances, customs, memories, etc.
After each presentation, check the Resource Library at the bottom of this page for links to the slides and other materials shared. Be the first to know when the next program begins! "News & Notes" is sent every Sunday to our mailing list.
