Do you find the words in the prayerbook inspiring? Do they speak to you and help you open your heart? Or perhaps they are alienating, confusing, and results in your feeling closed down? Join Daria for an exploration of some of the tefillot (prayers) that we use every Shabbat. Through text study, discussion, and song we will unpack some of the layers imbedded in these tefillot as well as learn new ways to possibly connect to them. No Hebrew skills are required. Please bring a willingness to open and a desire to learn.

We gather in our beautiful sanctuary every Saturday at 10:00 a.m. for Shabbat Morning Services which include prayers, songs, and discussion of the weekly Torah portion. After services there is a kiddush for meeting and greeting - and, of course, eating. Please join us this week as we celebrate a Bat Mitzvah.

Our very own Martin Golan will lead the BK Reads June discussion on his latest book, Where Things Are When You Lose Them. This tightly written collection of twelve short stories by a veteran journalist confronts contemporary issues in relationships, and the nature of loss, with the keen eye of a reporter, a poet’s ear for language, and the insights of one who has “been there.” As Golan leads us through a landscape of loss, he doesn’t merely illuminate these moments but seems to celebrate them. “Loss,” he says, “comes with being human, with any life lived fully and well.”  – The Publisher

The book can be purchased at Watchung Books.

At Union Congregational Church. The Ridgewood Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Co. is performing Ruddigore (The Witch's Curse) to benefit the Interfaith Hospitality Network for the homeless families of Essex County. If you love opera or if you've never been introduced, this is an opportunity for you and members of your congregation to experience the opera and support IHN at the same time. Ruddigore is a ghost story but don't worry. It is funny and has a typical G and S happy ending. It features some of Gilbert's wittiest words and Sullivan's most beautiful music. It has charmed audiences around the world for over 100 years. Admission: $25 for adults, $15 for children under 12. Tickets: www.ihnessexnj.org or (973) 313-0011.
