Shabbat Services
Friday, January 18
• Kabbalat Shabbat Services 6pm
Student Rabbi Lily Solochek will lead our service, which is especially dedicated to remembering the life and message of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. How fitting that Dr. King’s birthday coincides with our reading the Torah portion B’Shallach, which tells of our escape from slavery and subsequent crossing of the Red Sea!
Saturday, January 19
• Shabbat Services 10am
This Shabbat is known as Shabbat Shira, the “Shabbat of the Song,” because we read about the crossing of the Red Sea, and hear the song that Moses and Miriam sang with the Children of Israel after crossing to freedom. It is customary on this Shabbat to also do a lot of singing, so join us! Student Rabbi Lily will lead us.

• Tu B'shvat Hike - rescheduled to March 24
Now a Spring Equinox Hike! Led by Rich Feldman – on the WJC grounds trail – open to all WJC – meet at 9am, walk ‘n talk begins at 10am. This activity is outdoor recreation and learning all in one – this easy rolling hike will specifically focus on “distinguishing features of tree species in winter.” Sponsored by the WJC Men's Group.
• Tefirah Lev Shalem (Needlework of a Full Heart)
Next meeting February 17th at 12pm.
The mission of the Pomegranate Guild of Judaic Needlework is to pass needlework traditions to other generations of women and men through the sharing of knowledge and techniques needed to create handcrafted items intended for both Jewish ritual and cultural use. We strive to do this in an atmosphere of camaraderie with others and our joy in being Jewish. This doesn't mean we are exclusive to Jews; anyone who wishes to join our group is welcome!
