Rabbi Diane Tracht will lead several classes throughout the year on various topics. Currently we are offering “Learn to Read Hebrew every Monday night from 8 – 8:30 pm via Zoom. No prior knowledge or experience necessary, but people with some experience are also welcome. Once we’ve learned to read, we’ll start learning how to chant Torah, with the goal of chanting at Shavuot in the summer. For those who never had a bar/bat mitzvah, this can also be preparation for an adult b-mitzvah. Participants will also be able to chant Torah at the high holidays. Please email templeisraelmiller@gmail.com for the Zoom link
We also host speakers on diverse topics such as music, education, veterans, politics, and of course, food always is part of the program!
We have shown movies and had interfaith discussions afterwards, had speakers on music of the depression, alternative high schools and discipline, democracy in practice in Brazil. Jews and Jewish music around the world, hosting women of various faiths and heard their stories of how they can unite and bond, gardening and drip irrigation systems, and many more. We have taken field trips to museums, the beach, the dunes, parks, and a bison farm. We have attended services of various faiths and also had various religions attend and participate in our services. Some of our members represent us at the local city council meetings and interfaith council. We have held local candidates forum and voter registration drives. We know that education is on-going and comes in various forms and we are always looking to further our knowledge.
