With song and spirit, Cantor Alyssa Rosenbaum will guide us through this meaningful moment before we turn our eyes to the night sky, exploring the stars through telescopes with the Chagrin Valley Astronomical Society. Come ready to slow down, savor and soak in the beauty of the season and the cosmos. Please register here. Contact Rabbi Thalia with questions.

A sweet morning of tradition, art, and community awaits! Free! RSVP encouraged here.
Co-chaired by Judy Friedman and Larry Rosner, L’Chaim provides seniors with social, spiritual, physical and educational opportunities through a variety of interesting programs.
