Hearing the Shema, by Cantor Sobel
For TBC Parents and Members, This Sunday, October 30, 10:30 am

Hearing the Shema - an introduction to and exploration of the Shema as the opening to 1,000 Prayers.
  This class will engage with the text of the Shema - just 6 words - with the intention of deepening, enriching, and expanding our connection with this central Jewish prayer.  Cantor Sobel will lead this engaging class for TBC parents and all other interested TBC members.  No prior knowledge of Hebrew or level of experience with Jewish prayers is required.  Let's enjoy learning together for a more fulfilling prayer experience and connection with our children, our tradition and our deepest selves. See you at TBC on Sunday, October 30th !

"Marjorie Ingall is such a winning writer that as you tear through her laugh-out-loud, warm-hearted book, you might not notice the deep wisdom it delivers - not just on how to raise a mensch, but how to be one."  -Gayle Forman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay.
