Hillel of Sonoma County

Friday, September 21st

Because Friday night is Yom Kippur, a fast day, we won’t be having Shabbat dinner at Hillel this week.  We’ll be back next week with a special Shabbat dinner in the Sukkah.

Thursday, September 13th, 2pm @ The Lake at SSU

The first of our two Tashlich events is in coordination with congregation Ner Shalom (with whom Hillel shares a building). It will be led by Tsvi Bar-David (who led our High Holiday teaching last weekend) and followed by a potluck lunch. No tickets, no RSVP. Just show up and bring some food to share (if you can).

So many people are going to be away for the holiday that there will not be Shabbat dinner at Hillel this week, September 14th.

Monday, September 10th at 7pm

Already been on a Taglit-birthright israel trip?  This is a chance for the more than 30 students from Sonoma who went on birthright trips last year (and those who went in previous years) to see each other again, or meet for the first time, and talk about their experiences in Israel, what it’s like to be back, and whatever else comes up.

Thinking about going on a Taglit-birthright israel trip this year? This will be a chance to meet students who have already been on this trip and find out first-hand about how cool this opportunity is.

We’ll have some Israeli snacks (it’s hard to find good Falafel and Hummous in Rohnert Park, but we’ll do our best), and music and I’m sure some people will bring pictures…it should be fun.

If you are Jewish, between 18 and 26 and have never been on a peer-group Hillel wants to take you to Israel with us…FOR FREE! This is an amazing opportunity to take an exciting trip with other students from Sonoma county and round the country.

Sunday, September 2nd, 12-1:30 @ Hillel

Have you ever wondered what Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur are really about? Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish new year, is not just the celebration of another passing year, it’s also about the creation/re-creation of your personal world for the year to come. Yom Kippur, the ‘Day of Atonement’ is more than just a fast day, it’s about doing teshuvah – making things right with those you have harmed, including yourself.

Find out more about the deeper meaning of this season, and how to prepare yourself to get the most out of it.

Tsvi Bar-David, a senior rabbinical student at the Academy of Jewish Religion in Los Angeles, will lead this workshop and answer your questions - practical or mystical - about the Jewish High holidays.

In case all of that’s not enough, we’ll have FREE Bagels and Coffee.

For more info or to RSVP (not required, but helpful) Contact David Rubinstein – director@sonomahillel.org / 707-795-5464
