Hebrew Level II – The Hebrew class takes place Mondays, at 7:30. Level II will look at shabbat prayers as a way of learning vocabulary, grammar, prefixes and suffixes. If you are interested in learning how to read and missed Level I – please contact the rabbi for when the next round will take place. rabbi@greenpointshul.org
Cocaine Anonymous – CA meets at the shul on Tuesdays 7:00 – 8:00. CA is non-denominational but we are comforted that Jews who are suffering from drug addictions have an opportunity to attend meetings in a shul rather than a church. As a Jewish community, it is crucial that we are a supportive community, giving space for people to recover. Please spread the word.
Talmud Class – continues on Wednesday nights 7:30 – 8:30. We gather around a table, eat some cake and learn some Talmud. We are discussing issues related to Passover – like when one has to lean while eating at the seder. The classes meet at the rabbi’s house. No prior experience necessary.
Keep in mind, that for any honor, memorial or other significant event (Elections in Iraq), you can always commemorate it by sponsoring the weekly kiddush.
Vietnamese cooking night was great! Look out for Vietnamese food Part II.
If anyone has any cooking or baking specialty please let us know and we’d love for you to lead a class.
Shabbat Shalom,
