Coping with Aging Relatives
12:30 PM in Classroom 5
Are you worried about your parent(s) or other relative(s)?
Are you concerned about their living situation?
Are they having trouble with driving?
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Unsure what steps to take?
After services, fill a plate at the oneg and come directly to the Library. Come for spiritual and emotional support and an opportunity to share your concerns and learn from others facing similar challenges. These are drop-in sessions; you need not have attended before. |

Mishnah Garden Harvest at 1:00 PM
Come tour the Mishnah Garden and get up close and personal with our composter. Pick gourds and get them ready for hanging in the Sukkah. Help maintain and harvest crops. Pick apples from our two trees (add honey as a preview to Rosh Hashanah) and check out the fig tree. All ages welcome.
