04/09/2014 08:29:04 AM

Apr9

We truly want to know if there is anything at all that we can do, and we also hope you will consider being on our list of people who can offer a helping hand. Some of the ways you can consider helping are being available to attend a shiva minyan, being able to bring someone a meal, offer a ride or lend an ear.
 
Lori Becker chairs the Hesed committee. Please contact Lori to let her know of any needs, challenges or Simchas.
 

Jewish Meditation Center of Montclair

We are excited to let you know that the Jewish Meditation Center of Montclair (JMC) has moved to B'nai Keshet beginning April 5th at 4PM. Click for more information.

Meditation will be guided, often with kavvanot (intentions) inspired by the weekly Torah portion, the calendar and our daily lives. Sometimes there will be chanting. Other weeks will be "community sits" - where a member of the community may share a thought or inspiration. There will always be plenty of silence. The sessions are free and there is no experience required. Rabbi Elliott will be leading the meditation this week. Give it a try!

Following the service we will be welcoming Hametz – bread and leavened products – back into our diet with some pizza and beer for those who are so inclined.

Rabbi Elliott is inviting those in mourning and those who have recently been in mourning to gather informally after the service. Rabbi Elliott will be sharing a short teaching and then opening up the room for sharing of memories and current experiences with mourning.
