Nahalat Shalom is a welcoming, inclusive congregation that inspires understanding of the joys, practices, and ethics of Judaism
and nurtures spiritual growth.  

Israel/Palestine and Nahalat Shalom
For two thousand years, it has been said that wherever there are two Jews, there are three opinions. In too many Jewish congregations today, when it comes to Israel/Palestine, it seems that only one opinion is allowed. At Nahalat Shalom, we have as many opinions as we have congregants -- plus one, of course. When we put "inclusive" in our self-description, we meant it and we mean it. Hard times require hard discussions; we try to have those discussions. We are not always good at it, but we continue to try. We hope you'll join us.

BEGINNER'S TALMUD CLASS - Sarah Arrowsmith (in person only)
Jun 29
BEGINNER'S TALMUD CLASS - Sarah Arrowsmith (in person only)

Class description: "Have you ever wanted to study Talmud but had no idea where (or how) to start? With only knowledge of the aleph-bet you can delve into one of the most widely studied Jewish texts and learn how to break down the meaning of text on a daf (page). Through yeshivah style instruction, we will break down a section of Berachot in the original Hebrew and Aramaic with an emphasis on building dictionary skills, understanding of the structures of rabbinic arguments, and feeling a sense of ownership over our own places in the Rabbinic tradition. Classes will meet for three hours once a week on Sunday afternoons from from 1pm-4pm. REGISTER HERE!

PDF Chant Sheet to be uploaded soon!

The service will be contemplative as we take time to enter the liturgy through chant, then pause in the silence long enough to allow for an unfolding of possibilities and to develop the skillful practice that allows for Shabbat consciousness to flourish.
