Please join us for a post-election Shabbat service where we will take some time to calm our nervous systems in community. There will be chanting, silence, a guided meditation, prayers for healing, and the mourners Kaddish.
All are welcome.
Any questions, please reach out to Rabbi Rachel.
Upcoming Events
Zionism
Join Rabbi Rachel for an in depth exploration of Zionism(s). We will examine competing streams of Zionism that emerged at the turn of the last century and discuss their evolution. In hevrutah (study pairs), we will study biblical, historical, and contemporary texts including poetry. While the focus will be mostly historical, we will end the class by discussing our relationship to the idea of Zionism as Jews living in the US.
Our study will take place at the Temple over two evenings:
Tuesday, November 19 at 7:00 pm
Thursday, December 5 at 7:00 pm
Attendance at both sessions is preferred if at all possible.
Light refreshments will be available.
Please contact Adult Education with any questions.
As a community we come together for the Annual Interfaith Thanksgiving Service. This year Temple Etz Chaim will be hosting at The First Universalist Society of Franklin. Please help with bringing refreshments, set up, and clean up to make it a special year.
