Shalom Adult Bar and Bat Mitzvah Families,

I truly hope all of you are feeling ok and coming to terms with this “new normal.” While this is clearly a challenging time, the Jewish value of learning remains constant and can be a source of shalom for all of us.

So how will you special learners engage in Torah? This coming Thursday evening, we are still having class. We will study Bashamayim (in the Heavens) - remotely. We will be doing this for services AND for your learning. We will be using Zoom for services and classes. So what does that mean for you? Here are some step by step instructions:

Sign up for Zoom on any device (computer, Chromebook, phone, or tablet).

On computers (desktops, laptops, or Chromebooks)

Download and install “Zoom Client for Meetings.” Here is the link. https://us04web.zoom.us/download

Then sign up.

On mobile devices (phones or tablets)

Download the “Zoom Cloud Meeting” app.

Then sign up.

Since you might choose to download Zoom on a computer AND on your devices, when we have our sessions, you should pick a device to use that has a camera on it – computer with webcam, laptop, Chromebook, or mobile device.
On Thursday, I will send you an email with a link. All you have to do is click on it from your device of choice. The device should open Zoom and take you to our class.

If you need any support or if you just want to try it, send me a text (see member’s directory). If I am available to offer tech support or send you a test, I will.

Step by step, we will come into the sunshine,

Rabbi Robbie

P.S. Get ready to use Zoom for Friday night services at 8 PM. (You don’t need a camera for that one.)

Race and Faith
Thursday, November 7th at 7:00 PM
First Presbyterian Church
Talking about race relations is hard. Finding a safe place to talk about race is even harder. Though the obstacles can be great, discussing race is perhaps one of the most important discussions that we should be having as a modern American society.

Additionally, faith communities have a special bond and a special way of looking at the world. Because of the importance of race and because of our connection to one another as faith communities, the Interfaith Council of Yorktown, in connection with Race Amity, has put together this multi-evening series to help the faith communities of Westchester dialogue about this important topic. This last evening will explore a different aspect of race. Any friend of yours who is connected to a church, mosque, synagogue or other house of worship is invited to attend our final gathering. This evening will be facilitated not only by clergy but also by professionals who have a deep understanding of race and its effects on our society. Come be a part of this extremely important and timely final session.

Shabbat 101
Friday, March 15th at 8:00 PM
When do I sit? Why do we bow at certain times? What is the meaning of the Kaddish, anyway? We all probably have these types of questions before we enter Friday evening services and the questions keep coming as the evening progresses. Well, Shabbat 101 is here. Rabbi Robbie will be conducting the second of two learning Shabbat services to help us understand the prayers, their deeper meanings and the powerful nuances within their poetry. By the end of the session, we hope you will feel more comfortable during Shabbat services. Join us for this spiritual and educational Shabbat experience.

REB Talks - Can We Talk About Israel? Maybe Not.
Thursday, March 14th at 7:30 PM
Support for Israel is in our Jewish DNA. Yet, defining "support for Israel" isn't as simple as it sounds. Does it mean: she can do no wrong? Can we criticize her? Are we self-hating Jews if we disapprove of her? Come hear how professionals deal with these questions. We will then discuss our own feelings about these questions as well as discuss last week's congressional vote on hatred. Be a part of this bi-monthly discussion on topics that are worth sharing with others. All are welcome to attend and all are encouraged to listen, learn and grow.

REB Talks - Dying Jewishly
