Eulogy in Jerusalem

Everyone is invited to our weekly class on The Religious Roots of the State of Israel, which is resuming this Saturday afternoon. 

This week we will analyze Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook's article Eulogy in Jerusalem, written in response to Theodore Hertzl’s death. 

The class is led by Elana Medvedovsky-Khanukaev. 

Elana was previously the Educational Director at Center Makor, and is currently a board member there, focused on developing special programs.  

Elana has a vast interest in Jewish texts and Jewish Philosophical thinking (both medieval and contemporary), and is excited to share her knowledge and passion with the wide Jewish community.

Elana is also a practicing psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, with clinical interests in classic psychoanalysis and in attachment theory. 

The class begins each Saturday at about 12:30 PM, after kiddush winds down.

Adams Street is coming to Nonantum Village Day

This year, Nonantum Village Day is Sunday June 1, from 11:30 to 3:00. As in past years, we will have an exhibitor space there.

This is good publicity for the shul. Not only do we meet Jews new to us, but we enhance good will with the other groups in Nonantum and with Newton officials.

(Heads up. This year the Nonantum Village Day celebration falls on Erev Shavuot, which comes in at around 8 pm.)

We are looking for volunteers (preferably those who would be there celebrating Village Day anyway) to take turns greeting people at our table.

We can also sign visitors up at our table for a shul tour timed with the end of Village Day.

As Shavuos nears, can cheesecake be far behind?

Save your appetite for ice cream and cheesecake, as we prepare to celebrate our 113th annual Shavuos at Adams Street!.

The holiday begins Sunday evening June 1. Candle-lighting is 7:57 PM. The Mincha and Maariv services start at 7:40 PM.

This year, rather than a late-night event on Erev Shavuos, we will have our Tikkun Shavuot (Shavuos Torah Learning) on Monday afternoon, beginning at 12:30 PM.

Contact Rustin Shenkman for a spot on the teaching schedule at the Tikkun.

Holiday services on Monday and Tuesday morning begin at 9:00 AM and include Hallel. Yizkor is included on Tuesday.

Put the Monday afternoon Tikkun Shavuot on your calendar now! Come for the learning, stay for the ice cream!

(Or is it the other way 'round?)

Candle-lighting on Monday night is 9:08 PM, and Havdallah on Tuesday night is 9:09 PM.
