Join Rabbinic Intern Emmanuel Cantor overZoom as we explore a diversity of sources on “Jewbarassment,” the fear of being caught unaware of a specific Jewish ritual or prayer.
Join us in the sanctuary for an uplifting service to welcome in Shabbat in community, followed by a delicious Oneg. Participants are welcome to bring a vegetarian dish to share (no peanuts). Please also bring a serving untensil.

COMMUNITY
JCOGS teens met up with Temple Sinai teens to see Matisyahu in concert last week. It was amazing to hear Am Yisrael Chai, Shema, and ancient Jewish text woven through soulful reggae. The highlight was getting to meet Matisyahu at the end of the show!
