Gil Maruvada's Bar Mitsve Ceremony
2021-03-06 10:00 - 11:30 | Jan & Jerry’s house
All are welcome for Sholem’s second virtual Bar Mitsve ceremony! Please join us for Gil Maruvada’s presentation, “Artificial Intelligence or Stupidity: Jewish and Indian Perspectives on Synthetic Life”

Sholem’s secular Bar/Bas Mitsve observances meet the needs of families who honor their heritage and define their Jewish identity as cultural, historical, or ethnic, rather than religious. Students in our Sunday School choose a topic for in-depth research or for significant thought. The choices reflect the individual’s areas of interest…those aspects of Jewish heritage and identity that are most meaningful at this point in the young person’s life.

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.
