Here's a screenshot from a recent ZOOM Shabbat service. Our online gatherings have been a comfort during these difficult times.

"Shir Hadash and Lutheran Church of the Newtons recently held a joint evening event -- we emphasized the fact that our two communities do belong together. We celebrated our history, shared our appreciation of Pastor Stendahl, and looked towards the future, together."

Tonight "Ask the Rabbi" discusses little known Seder customs, & how to merge Shabbat and Passover observances. 7:30 at social hall of Lutheran Church. Always interesting! Here's photo from a recent session; a fascinating tromp through the "Jewish bookshelf"- law & history.

PURIM
These days, it can be hard to know what's the truth. One person's fact is another person's fiction. We will explore this dilemma at our Purim celebration with the theme: Fake Jews!
Come in costume, even if you wear only one thing different.
Ma'ariv, megillah, variety show.

Our "Ask the Rabbi" session this past Tuesday featured a spirited and sparkling sing-along -- a joyful blending of the pitch-perfect with the perfectly off-key! Selections were from the classic songbook "Rise Up Singing!"
