A Shabbat Evening After Sinai
Friday, May 22

Temple Shalom
Join us for a special Shabbat evening inspired by the Jewish teaching that both the whole tablets and the broken tablets were carried together in the Ark.
What happens after revelation fades? What do we carry when life becomes more complicated, when certainty cracks, and when the world feels broken?
Together, we will explore what it means to carry Torah, wisdom, and one another through the joys and fractures of real life.
The evening will begin with our regular Kabbalat Shabbat service, followed by a congregational dinner and interactive program in the Social Hall featuring:
Short teachings
Meaningful table conversation
Curated pairings inspired by themes of revelation, brokenness, resilience, and renewal
This experience is designed for Temple Shalom members. There is no cost to attend, but advance registration is required.
RSVP today to reserve your place.

2026-05-19 19:00 - 21:00 | Temple Shalom
Join us for a meaningful six-part learning experience, Jewish Answers to Life’s Most Challenging Questions, taught by Deborah Niederman, RJE.
Together, we will explore some of life’s biggest and most personal questions – Why do good people suffer? Is everything pre-ordained? Can we expect miracles? Drawing on the wisdom of rabbinic tradition and modern thought, this course invites open conversation, reflection, and discovery.
Temple Shalom is proud to partner with the Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning to launch a new Temple Shalom Melton Community. This course marks the beginning of an ongoing series, with plans to offer two to three courses each year.
Through engaging discussion and diverse perspectives, we will examine these timeless questions through the voices of rabbinic sages, modern thinkers, and our own lived experiences.
Come learn, question, and connect as we explore what these ideas mean in our lives today.
