Kids! Get ready for and exciting pre Rosh Hashanah Honey Fest!

We're all about honey as we get ready for a SWEET new year!

We'll have a live bee and honey making presentation along with local honey tasting. 🐝
Think you can taste the difference between honey made in town to honey from Pajaro Valley or over the hill?

Next, we'll make honey cakes and design Rosh Hashanah honey jars and of course we'll hear the shofar blasts as we get ready for the new year!

Join us for the first Jewish Women’s Circle of the new year... Bedazzled Siddurim (Prayer Books) & Prayer Meditations!

I'm so excited for this unique and special evening, where we’ll explore the meaning and history of prayer, prepare for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and create our own beautiful, bedazzled siddurim to use and treasure!

Whether prayer is in or out of your comfort zone, this evening will bring meaning to this powerful path of connection.

It'll be a night of inspiration, connection, and of course delicious food!

What does it mean to truly live, rather than simply exist?

Choices for Life is a course created by Rabbi Friedman that has been taught to 1,000 inmates at Soledad State Prison.

Now, for the first time, the four-part course is being offered to the wider community, exploring purpose, relationships, guilt, anger, and what it means to live a life of meaning.

Join us as we prepare for the High Holidays and take a deeper look at the choices that shape our lives.

Four Thursdays • 7 PM
Beginning August 27

Join us for a fascinating evening with Dr. Elad Ben Elul!

While doing research as an anthropologist in Africa, Dr. Elad Ben Elul made an unexpected discovery, his own Judaism.

Along his journey into Judaism, he connected and partnered with Rabbi Manis Friedman, and together they authored I Didn't Ask to Be Born, recently published in English.
