SUMMARY:Parenting Book Club: Nurture the Wow
DESCRIPTION:As a first-time mom\, Rabbi Megdal is discovering how Jewish wisdom speaks to the joys and challenges of parenting small children. You are invited to join her for a fun and meaningful book club\, as we read Nurture the Wow: Finding Spirituality in the Frustration\, Boredom\, Tears\, Poop\, Desperation\, Wonder\, and Radical Amazement of Parenting. She is excited to explore this book together and learn from each other. We will meet at 9:30 am on the first Thursday of the month. Gatherings will start with a few minutes of coffee\, snacks\, and schmoozing\, followed by 45 minutes (we’re busy!) on one short chapter each month. Didn’t finish? Come anyway. We’ll make time to think\, laugh\, learn some Torah\, and talk with other parents who are figuring it out too.\nFree to attend. Register\, then pick up the book as a gift from Rabbi Megdal in her office Tues-Fri mornings (except holidays). Take a peek at the TOC here. \n

SUMMARY:The Jewish Parenting Circle
DESCRIPTION:How do we raise kids who care about others\, create family rituals that stick\, pass on our Jewish values\, and help our children navigate the tough stuff like antisemitism\, death\, and loss? Join fellow Beth El parents\, clergy\, and family therapists from Growing Minds for lively\, honest conversations where we can share what’s working\, wrestle with what’s hard\, and learn from one another. Come for one session or all five. Designed for parents of children ages 0–12. \nClick here for more information. \nThe topic for January 10 is “Connect with Me: Building Time for Ritual and Meaning.” Create connection rituals to help children feel connected even when you’re not together\, such as after bedtime or school drop-off. \n

SUMMARY:Women of Beth El Social Action Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Please join Women of Beth El for its annual film screening and Social Action Tea\, this year exploring the theme “Addressing Antisemitism by Strengthening Jewish Community\, Unity\, and Pride in Challenging Times.” \nOn Sunday\, January 31\, at 2:00 pm\, join us for a screening of Gentleman’s Agreement\, winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1947. The film follows a journalist who pretends to be Jewish to research the widespread antisemitism in New York City and its surrounding communities. \nOn Sunday\, April 25\, the Social Action Tea will build on the film’s themes to examine practices and initiatives that bolster Jewish pride and strengthen our community in the face of today’s rising antisemitism. Leaders from across the local Jewish community will discuss their work and offer participants opportunities to take positive action. All are welcome.
