SUMMARY:"The December Dilemma" Group Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Beginning at 10:30 a.m.\, there will be an Adult Activity for Sholem parents and community members. \nLongtime Sholem members Laurie Braude and Lois Bostwick will facilitate a community discussion on “The December Dilemma\,” which may arise from tension between the celebration of Chanukah and Christmas\, especially when the two holidays coincide.  This season can be challenging for many interfaith or intercultural families as they navigate the desire to honor their Jewish identity while also participating in the festive spirit of Christmas.

SUMMARY:Shvues Assembly
DESCRIPTION:The story of Shvues/Shavuot\, taken from the Biblical book of Ruth\, is one of the most important for Sholem families. \nIt is a story of human kindness and inclusion\, bridging cultural boundaries with love\, just like many of our own families. It is also the story of an immigrant joining and enriching a community. \nYou are invited to join us this Thursday from 7:00-7:30 (Pacific Standard Time)\, the first of night of Shvues/Shavuot\, for songs\, stories\, some words of wisdom\, and connection in these increasingly disconnected times. \nTo RSVP and receive a Zoom link\, please send an email to ross@sholem.org
