SUMMARY:IMPORTANT IN-PERSON MEETING FOR SCHOOL PARENTS
DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY\, APRIL 3 @ 10:30AM\nA message for our Sunday School parents… \nFollowing a long and challenging absence\, we are pleased to be returning to meeting in person and look forward to reconnecting. \nDuring the pandemic\, Sholem was able to make accommodations for the Sunday School\, adult activities\, and holiday celebrations to continue.

Sholem is facing some challenges and our school parents need to be an integral part of the decision making. \nPlease plan to attend this meeting.\nWe hope as many of us as possible will be there to share a wide range of thoughts\, ideas\, and visions for Sholem’s future.\n(Fellow community members are also welcome!) \nSunday School Parents\nSunday\, April 3rd\n10:00am Coffee\, Bagels & Shmooze\n10:30-11:30am Meeting\nShort Avenue Elementary School \nQuestions: regan@sholem.org

SUMMARY:Gil Maruvada's Bar Mitsve Ceremony
DESCRIPTION: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”\n \nSholem’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. For more info about our program\, click here.\n\n \n\nGil Maruvada’s Bar Mitsve Ceremony\nSaturday\, March 6\n10:00 a.m. (PT)\nCLICK HERE for the Zoom Webinar
