Jewish Websites

What is your favorite Jewish website?  There are so many great ones out there. There are technically useful ones like www.hebcal.com for when you need information about the Jewish calendar. There are educational ones like www.myjewishlearning.com for when you need some factual information. There are videos for the parsha on www.g-dcast.com. There is www.kveller.com, a twist on Jewish parenting. There is www.punktorah.org a website of Independent Jewish spiritual culture for those of us who are a bit more adventurous and cutting edge.  There are so many great Jewish websites.

I would love to hear about the websites you frequent, or wish you had time to frequent. It’s about time we updated our list of websites to the right. So share your resources either on the blog or on our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=602586159 and ask your kids what their favorite Jewish websites are - they may visit some real gems!

Joyful Noise

In my September bulletin article I spoke about Joyful Noise. 

"I love the image joyful noise conjures, people joining together in a vibrant, loving, welcoming community to pray in a joyful, happy, noisy manner. I started to wonder what Joyful Noise during prayer would look like and sound like at B’nai Amoona?"



This Shabbat we are going to find out! This Saturday, Nov. 5th we are having a special Family Shabbat Service. There is no Pardes on Sunday so we are asking all families to join us. Rabbi Kaiman and I will be leading a special family service from 10:30-11:30 in the chapel which will be followed by the Consecration Ceremony in the main sanctuary to welcome our new students into their Jewish Educational Journey. 

Join us this Shabbat  &  make some Joyful noise!
