At our Zoom Shabbat Morning Torah Study (10:00 AM) we'll look at Rashi's comments on the end of the Book of Exodus.

We hope to see you at our bimonthly Zoom Book Club, on Monday (7:30 PM). Read the provocative short story about intergenerational conflict, Brit Milah, by talented new Israeli writer Ayelet Tsabari here:https://adasemuno.org/bookclub/ and join the discussion.

Don't forget to move your clocks ahead on Sat. night, as daylight savings time begins, which means spring is almost here.

Shabbat shalom,
Rabbi Schwartz

I'll explain, at our Zoom Shabbat Evening Service (7:30 PM).

Dear Friends,
Our tradition tells us that the Jewish people experienced a great moment of unity at Mount Sinai, described in this week's Torah portion. At the present time it feels like the Jewish people are experiencing a great moment of disunity. I'll explain why at our Livestream Shabbat Evening Service (7:30 PM).

At our Zoom Shabbat Morning Torah Study (10:00 AM) comments by Rashi will also touch on the theme of unity at the giving of the Torah.

Hatemail- Antisemitism in Picture Postcards is the subject of my final JPS webinar on Monday (7:30 PM- rescheduled) and it is an eye-opening look at how hate spread on the social media of the late 19th and early 20th century.

Hola- our always energetic president would like to start a Spanish Club, for people with a basic command to improve their speaking. Interested? Contact: michael.r.fishbein@gmail.com.

Dear Friends.
Today is the 15th day, the full moon, of the Hebrew month of Shevat, which means that it is Tu Bishvat—the New Year of Trees.

At our Livestream Shabbat Evening Service (7:30 PM) we will feature festive music from this minor but popular holiday, and an appropriately environmental message for this Jewish Arbor Day.

At our Zoom Shabbat Morning Torah Study (10:00 AM) comments by Rashi prompt the question: do men and women have different leadership styles?

The subject of "FDR and the Jews" remains controversial to this day, and is the subject of my next JPS webinar on Monday (7:30 PM), based on our new, and provocative, book The Jews Should Keep Quiet.

We celebrate the inauguration of our new president and our quest for a more perfect union at our Zoom Shabbat Evening Service (7:30 PM).

Our exploration of the Book of Exodus continues at our Zoom Shabbat Morning Torah Study (10:00 AM).

Speaking of books, the relatively untold story of how the Nazis attempted to destroy the Jews not just physically but culturally, with the massive theft of Jewish books, and the restoration of that heritage by the Allies after the war, is the subject of my third JPS seminar on Monday (7:30 PM).

The observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is even more significant this year in light of the tragic events of the last weeks.
