Monday means Beit Midrash!
For some of us, it's becoming a habit of living;
Monday night is our time to engage in Jewish learning in chevruta, with a learning partner or partners. We begin with soup and salad (for a small donation, please), followed by a shiur (teaching) at 6:45 pm
. Then we break up into small groups for chevruta to pursue a variety of interests. Would you like to join us? Please contact Laurie at laurief@har-shalom.org if you are wondering whether beit midrash is for you.

Help Puerto Ricans Get Safe Drinking Water
My rabbinic association, OHALAH, shared
this link
for an indegogo campaign to raise funds for portable, innovative water-purification systems to bring potable water to Puerto Rico. I donated. Please consider it.
"You donate $11.50 and a person without access to clean water in Puerto Rico will receive a LifeStraw Filtration system that will purify up to 1000 liters of water. It's that simple.

Atidaynu This SUNDAY the 29th!
At our last Atidaynu, we welcomed new students and saw top performances in our Torah quiz show. Laurie artfully shared the beauty and even mystery just examining the torah scrolls can hold. Atidaynu will meet this Sunday, October 29, 10-12 for Hebrew, dance and maybe even some Jewish ghost stories. All are welcome.
Atidaynu families, if you haven't already, please look at your calendars to find dates you would like to bring snack or study (the hour is yours to share traditions, song, history, food, learning with our students!) and remember to consider becoming Har Shalom members if you haven't already. Contact Jessica at
jweltman@hotmail.com
with any questions.

Jewish Meditation Group Invitation: Tuesdays 8:30 to 9:15
Please join with us to share a time of mindfulness, a time to let go of the "to do" list of our busy lives. We begin each meditation by focusing and centering on the breath to ground us and become present. We are currently using simple chants from Rabbi Shefa Gold to join together and come more deeply into sacred presence. As we chant we listen with the ears of our heart to these words and see how they both bless and challenge us. As we take these words as our intention (kavannah), we settle into the silence, to simply be in the presence of Source. Everyone is welcome!
