What's a Jew To Do? An Interactive Workshop
Sunday, November 4th, 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue
Joining in partnership with NextGen, Repair The World, and Moishe House, this workshop will help us explore how implicit biases impact our self-perception, perception of the Jewish community and our attitudes towards others. By consciously reflecting on our unconscious biases, we can explore tools to adjust automatic patterns of thinking and reduce the impact of unintentional discriminatory attitudes and behaviors. This workshop will be led by Yehudah Webster.

Join us in partnership with Bethel Community Transformation Center for our Second Annual Motown Lip Sync Battle! We are going to celebrate our shared love of Motown music in the city that started it all. Our communities will form collaborative teams, with each team performing 4-5 songs. We hope that you'll join us in this fun filled evening! If you are interested in participating, please contact Nicole.

Call for Mi Shebeirach
During our Shabbat morning worship, we read the names of people in our community who are in need of healing. As we invoke God's blessing, we also become more aware of the people who could use a little extra care. Please let us know if you would like us to read the name of a loved one.

Clean House!
As we work to clean up and clear out in our Synagogue, we ask your cooperation. If you notice a spill, please wipe it up. If you drop crumbs, please clean them up. If you use the kitchen, please clean up. If you have extra papers or handouts, please take them home to recycle them. Just a reminder: please no food or drinks (other than water) are allowed on the 2nd floor. As we continue to create our welcoming communal home, please help us to keep it inviting. As the saying goes, "it takes a village."

Where would Jews be without the Torah? Torah is the center of our Saturday Shabbat service. It is a mitzvah to make a
