Sholem student Sam Nordon will become a Bar Mitsve in Sholem’s first virtual ceremony! Sam will present “Jews and the Comic Book Industry,” the research project he worked on with his mentor, Board President Sheila McCoy.
If you like, have some wine and challah on hand to join in the Kiddush at the end. Also, guests are invited to write a message for Sam on an index card that you can hold up to your camera at the end of the ceremony. These will be captured for posterity and to share.
We look forward to seeing everyone!

Sharing Holiday Traditions (Wednesday Eve)
2020-12-09 19:00 - 20:00 | Jan & Jerry’s house
Sholem has annually hosted a “December Dilemma” discussion to talk about issues faced by Jewish and multicultural families during the winter holiday season (such as whether or not to have a Xmas tree.) This year we’re confronted with more than one December Dilemma. Let’s gather virtually to talk about our holiday traditions and ideas for celebrating during this exceptional Covid-cautious period when we’re not able to do things with families and friends in our usual ways. We’ll discuss how Sholemites have creatively worked to resolve some family differences in the past and about what we can do this year. Grab your favorite beverage, pop in and share a toast, or just come as you are.

Please note: We’re trying out a weekday evening for this event.
