ONLINE EVENTS

One of the challenges we are currently facing is communal social isolation. We have set up an online platform for classes where we can get together and continue strengthening ourselves through Torah study and prayer.

• DAILY PRAYER - Character Development

  Join our Rabbi on ZOOM for 3 chapters of Psalms, a prayer written by the Chief Rabbi of Israel, followed by a message from The Ways of the Righteous. Monday through Friday from 10:30am to 11:00am EST (except for Yom Tov).

• INTERGENERATIONAL PRE-BAR AND BAT MITZVAH WORKSHOP - Learn together about the substance and process of Bar and Bat Mitzvah

  This nationally unique program established by the New Synagogue celebrates multiple generations of a family as its latest generation of young people enter adulthood. Planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah can be both exhilarating and daunting for many. We’ve developed an interactive program to respond to questions and concerns regarding the nuts and bolts, both spiritually and practically, of this central time in a family’s life, and it can be done 100 percent remotely. Do you have family members living in another city, state, or country? Or, is it just hard in these times to get together in one pre-scheduled place? Meet for a five week intergenerational mini-course with our synagogue team to learn together about both the substance and the process of Bar and Bat Mitzvah. Q & A welcome! On five Monday nights starting in October we’ll take this journey together. October 11, October 18, October 25, November 1, and November 8, 2021, from 7:30pm to 8:15pm.

• SPIRITUAL HALACHAH - Depths of Jewish Law

  Through the teachings of Rebbi Nachman and his student Reb Nosson, we learn sections of The Code of Jewish Law along with the deeper spiritual underpinnings of the law. Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:15am to 12:15pm EST.

• THE STORY OF A WISE PERSON AND A SIMPLE PERSON - Happiness

  Life lessons based on Rabbi Arush's interpretation of Rabbi Nachman's story. Learn the art of happiness, spiritual growth, and ultimate success. Wednesdays from 11:15am to 12:00pm EST.

• VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLE - Current Affairs

  Do you like a healthy discussion about interesting topics relevant to the times? If so, join our Rabbi and the New Synagogue community on ZOOM for our weekly Virtual Roundtable. Share your personal view on the topic of the day. Wednesdays from 4:00pm to 5:00pm EST.

• VIRTUAL TOT SHABBAT - grandparents, parents and tots sing and learn together

  Every Friday we welcome grandparents, parents and children, from toddlers on up, together with our Rabbi and expert synagogue educator to bring in Shabbat together with song and the Reggio Emilia educational approach of experiential learning, all online and designed to keep families engaged from the comfort of their homes. Fridays from 4:30pm to 5:00pm EST.

• KABBALAT SHABBAT SERVICE & PARSHA MESSAGE

  Every Friday just before sunset, join our Rabbi for a ZOOM service to greet Shabbat together. Filled with song and spirituality, it’s just what we need during these times to mark Shabbat together. Fridays from 5:30pm to 6:10pm EST.

• INSPIRATIONAL HAVDALAH SERVICE

  Every Saturday night we bid farewell to Shabbat with the beautiful Havdalah ceremony. Music and the classic double-wicked candle, along with some inspiration, are at the center of this brief inspirational ceremony to start the coming week with song and light. Times will vary as Shabbat ends earlier and earlier, so keep posted to our weekly updates. Saturdays from 8:00pm to 8:20pm EST.

• ONLINE SERVICES FOR PEOPLE OBSERVING YAHRZEIT

  We will have online services in which we learn Mishnayot for the elevation of the souls of their departed loved ones.
