ECC Elul Art Lesson
Wednesday, August 26, 11:15 am
Diane Malin will be offering a Zoom art lesson. Children will make two beautiful Rosh Hashanah greeting cards; one is meant to be given to a family member or friend, the other will be sent to a local Jewish nursing home.
Psalms: Ancient Poetry and Timeless Messages
Wednesdays, August 26 & September 2, 10:30 am
Two sessions remain in Rabbi Frenkel's Adult Education class. The Book of Psalms is one of the most read and utilized Biblical books in Jewish practice, because it contains the full range of human emotion and God-wrestling that our people have aspired to throughout history and in our modern day. As we prepare our hearts and souls for the High Holy Day season, we’ll begin to explore the Book of Psalms together, as we discover the Psalms as literature, liturgy, poetry and prayer.

FILM DISCUSSION
Monday, August 24, 7:00 pm
Watch & join us tonight! Our program will be a discussion-only. We ask that you watch/stream this highly rated/reviewed movie in advance: www.justmercyfilm.com
Rabbi Frenkel leads the discussion on the movie Just Mercy, based on the powerful and thought-provoking true story of young lawyer Bryan Stevenson and his history-making battle for justice as he works to free a wrongly condemned death row prisoner.
This film will lead us to an important conversation about justice in America, and is part of an ongoing series of "Evenings of Gathering" to educate us and motivate us to action.

A Taste of Hebrew
Offered by Education & Youth and Adult Education Committees
Sundays, following the Religious School calendar
Open to all adults, including those with children (or grandchildren) in Religious School looking to stay ahead of or catch up to their children, and those looking to become more comfortable in services and/or who just want to learn.
Option 1: Starting with the Aleph-Bet, 9:00-10:00 am
Students will learn the letters of the Hebrew aleph bet and the vowel sounds. By the end of the class, students will be able to combine them and begin the journey to becoming a Hebrew reader.
Option 2: Prayers and Blessings, 10:15-11:15 am
A class for those who are comfortable with basic Hebrew. Students will learn what the prayers mean and learn how to read them, so they will be more comfortable participating in services.
