coming up...
"In a time in history when so much exists only in cyberspace, and so much of our time is spent in the pursuit of academic and career-related pursuits, Temple Beth-El's Raymund Family Sunday School is our place to cultivate joy, peace, connection, and meaning. It is where you and your family can go to get more out of life, grounded in the same values that guided our ancestors through hardship and change. But, we will do that in a new way that supports the next generation's right to carve out their own niche of spiritual exploration. Together, this year, we are set up to hold space for evolution; honoring the magic that happens between "no longer and not yet" [Nancy Levin}."
- Sarah Grace Nadler, Director of Innovative Programing
OUR OPEN DOOR POLICY CONTINUES INTO OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL PROGRAM. WE WELCOME ANY NEW FAMILIES WHO WANT TO TRY OUT OUR PROGRAM FOR ONE YEAR WITHOUT COMMITTING TO JOINING TEMPLE BETH-EL. SO BRING A FRIEND!
