Rabbi Liz Bolton's inspiring Yom Kippur message.
Exploring Judaism Exploring Judaism (EJ) is a course for inquisitive Jews, their significant others, those considering adult b’nei mitzvah or conversion, and seekers of knowledge of Jewish life. Taught by Rabbi Elizabeth Bolton and featuring contributions from exciting guest teachers and rabbis, Exploring Judaism leads participants through the major value concepts and practices of Judaism. We wrestle with fundamental questions while learning from and studying with each other.... If you are seeking to deepen your understanding of your Jewish heritage, or to explore Judaism as a spiritual and religious tradition you wish to embrace, you’ve found the right learning opportunity - as you are, whoever you are, or wherever you are. Classes will meet via Zoom most 1st and 3rd Thursday evenings, November 5 through June 17. The course is open to all members of the community. Full OrH members receive a 50% discount on registration fees. Registration is now open. For more information and to register visit www.orh.ca/exploring-judaism.html.

High Holy Days 5781: Guest Registration Now Open! We are happy to announce the opening of registration for immediate family of Or Haneshamah members who will be celebrating the High Holidays with us. Immediate family is those who are not included in a household membership (children, parents, grandparents, siblings, and their partners). Non-immediate relatives and friends of OrH members who wish to attend services must register as Tishrey Visitors at the link found on the Or H...aneshamah High Holy Days page. New this year is a sliding scale donation scale for guests. With it, we recognize, on the one hand, that what it takes to sustain Or Haneshamah has not changed in any material way since Covid-19, and, on the other hand, that Covid-19 has caused hardship for some individuals and families. We ask guests to choose a donation level that respects the membership and clergy that uphold our community, and at the same time, corresponds responsibly to personal circumstances. Suggested donations begin at $36 per household for all our High Holy Day services. Payment is made through the member's account. You can access the Tishrey Guest registration form by logging in to your account at orh.ca
Words of the Spirit Grounding Ourselves in Teshuvah As I write this on the Friday that is the first day of Elul, the month before the new year begins, I am stepping into my annual process of teshuvah. At the same time, it feels like my spiritual heels are dragging along the ground, unsure of my steps in this unstable time....Continue reading
Thank you for joining me all summer break for songs and stories. It has been an absolute pleasure :) If you enjoyed these Storytimes and songs, please consider exploring the other Jewish Family programming we offer at Or Haneshaah (https://www.orh.ca/machaneh-shabbat ). You can see other Morah Jenny content on our YouTube channel Or Haneshamah, or any of our Instagram accounts @orhaneshamah and @machaneh_shabbat Our word of the day was Shalom ((, which can mean three t...hings Hello/Goodbye/Peace. Why do you think the word we use for being peaceful is the same for welcoming people or saying goodbye? What does it feel like to be peaceful? What are ways you can be a peaceful or calm person today? Today’s stories were The Knight Who Wouldn’t Fight by Helen Docherty and I am Peace by Peter Reynolds (which teaches mindfulness to kids!). Another fantastic story about Shalom that you should explore is The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf. Thank you so much for joining me today and all summer Until next time, L’hitraot
