Somehow the Torah always manages to speak to us in the present. Its lessons are timeless, and that is what makes it a sacred, living text. Explore the weekly Torah portion through the lens of Rashi, the essential biblical commentary. No prior experience required. All texts will be provided in both English and Hebrew.

This webinar will be ANONYMOUS (viewers can ONLY see the speakers) and will address a series of topics including: • What do I do? I really want to become a grandparent! Should I suggest fertility clinics? Therapists? • If my child has not yet told me he/she is going through infertility, how can I approach the subject? Should I even bring it up? • How can I best support my child with infertility? • What should I say/ not say to my child who is going through infertility? • And a Q&A!

COVID-19 has worsened inequities that impact Black, brown, and poor people that have long existed in our area. Join B'nai Israel to hear about how the pandemic is impacting local communities, how Judaism guides us in responding to this crisis, and how you can get involved. The presentation will be led by staff and volunteers from Jews United for Justice, which has been working with partners, including ACLU, to advocate for specific actions by our county and state officials to ensure that the most vulnerable are not left further behind during the COVID-19 crisis. While the focus of this call is COVID-19 response work, in light of recent events, we will also briefly talk about JUFJ's work on policing and racial equity.

Thursdays, June 25-July 30, 8:00 PM This unique case of curated Israeli wines has been assembled by wine educator Steve Kerbel. Each week Steve will hold a 30 minute Zoom wine tasting, when we will choose a white wine and a red wine to enjoy together and taste. We will learn about the wines, winemakers and wineries, about the wine growing regions of Israel and about the growing wine culture of Israel, built on ancient practices of winemaking in the Land of Israel. Once the case from Kosherwine.com has been purchased, you will receive the Zoom invitation and tasting and food pairing notes. Click here to purchase.
