God turned her into a pillar of salt because when she and her husband were leaving Sodom and Gomorrah, God told them not to look back, yet she did. ROM F HAZZAN GROSS Salt is a preservative. That part of her life was RABBI SHERE TISHREI IS COMING over and it wasn’t healthy at that moment to look back – she literally got stuck in the past; unwilling to move forward, she became unable to do so. REPARING FOR A HOLIDAY is not something A corollary to the story of Lot’s wife is the salt in which we foreign to us. On , there’s the dip our challah on Friday night.

If you’ve never FROM RABBI YOSKOWITZ blown the shofar but you are able to play a brass instrument, there’s a good chance that you can be a ba’al tokeah!

Personally, this is my favorite psalm due to its poignancy, Our Jewish tradition teaches us that self- accessibility and relevance.

0 JEWISH Family Education programs Summer Parent Toddler 4 FAMILY are endowed in memory y EDUCATION of Jeanette & Oscar Cook August may be the most exciting time in Jewish Family Education! This is when ideas come to life. At this time last year, we received a grant from JBaby and started a Baby & Me on Sunday mornings for parents and their babies from birth to 13 months old. This program was so well received that we are not only continuing it, we are now creating Toddler & Me. Sunday mornings, toddlers (13 months to 3 years) and their parents will have valuable interactive time together. The Bubble Club programming will help in the development of fine and gross motor skills, cognitive awareness, language development, and physical ability. Additionally this fall, I look forward to kicking off: Family Life – Understanding Judaism from a new family perspective. Family Life is a 3-part series that brings families together, adapting to the change of a new baby (first, last or somewhere in between). Little ones in Parent Toddler enjoy exploring, The series focuses on holidays, symbols and rituals; teaching the creating, and making new friends. Art, science, history, why and where. Sessions will discuss how to incorporate singing, dancing, free play, story time and Shabbat and adapt with family dynamics. At the completion of each series songs and activities round out the mornings. there will be the option of creating a family object with an artist that fits the topic you just studied.
