Elul: A Month of Preparation and Reflection

The month of Elul in the Hebrew calendar marks the start of spiritual preparation, offering a chance to recommit to the values, actions, and commitments that will define our lives in the upcoming year. Give yourself permission to pause, take stock of the everyday, feel gratitude for your blessings, and reflect on how you will grow during this season and in the coming year.

Wildacres Retreat

Join us in the Blue Ridge Mountains over Labor Day Weekend (Friday, August 30 - Monday, September 2) for a retreat focused on spiritual renewal. This year, our focus is on "Shabbat Vayinafash," exploring rest as a spiritual practice.

Elul Reading Series: The Amen Effect

Join us for a four-session discussion on incorporating connectivity and care into our lives. Sign up for the in-person sessions with Rabbi Erdheim on Wednesdays or the virtual sessions with Tammy Seigel on Thursdays.

Talk for Change with Rabbi Knight

Join Rabbi Knight for a meaningful discussion on the Israel-Hamas War. Embrace a dialogue focused on listening, learning, and proactive change this Elul, and open conversations that make a difference.

S'lichot Teen Pizza and Paint

Teens in grades 8-12 are invited to join Rachel Glazer and Rabbi Nichols for an evening of creativity and reflection. Together we will reflect on the themes of the High Holy Days before using a variety of art materials to express our ideas. The evening will also include a pizza dinner and Havdalah service.

Personal Reflection Before the Ark

Our sanctuary is a powerful part of many people’s High Holy Days experience. Consider spending a few minutes in the sanctuary as you prepare your heart and mind for this High Holy Days season. Sign up to set aside fifteen minutes for yourself (or your family) to stand before the ark as part of your High Holy Days journey.

S'lichot Service of Return, Repentance, and Renewal

Join us at Temple Israel for a special service, collaboratively led by the clergy of Temple Beth El and Temple Israel. This deeply moving experience will guide us through a transformative process of self-discovery and spiritual preparation, setting the stage for the approaching High Holy Days.
