Join Federation and Beth Tzedec Congregation on Sunday, October 21 at 7pm for a fascinating evening of civil discourse from very diverse sides of the political spectrum – Unity not Uniformity: We Need to Talk . Listen to JJ Goldberg and Jonathan Tobin speak about the battle for Israel's soul. Facilitated by Maclean's magazine's Jason Markusoff. This event is free of charge – all are welcome.

It may have been too cold and snowy to sit in the sukkah, but PJ Library® and Beth Tzedec Congregation's 9th Annual Smoothies in the Sukkah was the biggest yet. Sixty-five children and their families had a wonderful morning indoors with PJ stories, songs, and crafts while Rabbi Osadchey served over 100 of his famous, fabulous smoothies.
