Rosh Hashanah Chanting Circle

Sunday, September 15th at 5:00 p.m.

Join us in the Chapel as we ‘pre-prayer’ for the High Holidays at our
inspirational Rosh Hashanah chant and song circle with musical
accompaniment.

We focus on key verses from the High Holiday liturgy, exploring their
meaning. We then sing the text as we join together with our voices in simple
yet compelling, melody and rhythm.

The intention of chanting is to awaken the divine in our hearts. It can
soothe the mind and at the very least is simply fun to do! No prior
knowledge of Hebrew or singing ability necessary 
 only a willingness to
join in spiritual community.

Talmud Study

Origins of Jewish Worship

with Rabbi Akiba Lubow

Full-Year Class on Monday Evenings starting September 9

7:30 to 9:00 p.m.

In this class we will enter the extraordinary world of the Talmud, arguably
the most important Jewish text after the Torah. Written down between 1,500
and 1,800 years ago, we’ll discover how relevant its teachings are today!

While focusing on the Origins of Jewish Prayer, we will also learn about
traditions and theological tenets that have stood the test of time, as well
as practices and teachings that serve as the foundations for the way we live
Judaism today.

This course is appropriate for both beginners and those who have already
studied Talmud. Knowledge of Hebrew is not a prerequisite. While it is not
necessary to attend every week, a relatively regular pattern of attendance
will enhance understanding the course material.

To register, please contact Rabbi Julie Schwarzwald at
<mailto:RabbiJulie at cbi-nj.org> RabbiJulie at cbi-nj.org.
