Upcoming Worship Services:

February 1: “Tu B’Shvat:  New Year for the Trees”
Service Leaders: Rev. Charlotte Lehmann

About the Service: At sundown this evening, Tu B’Shvat, one of the four new years in the Jewish calendar, begins. This day in contemporary Israel is celebrated to further environmental-awareness programs and trees are planted as part of these celebrations. Traditionally, seven species – wheat, barley, grape, fig, pomegranates, olive (oil), and date (date honey) – were the only acceptable offerings in the Temple (Deuteronomy 8:8). A Seder ritual has been developed including prayers and the eating of these fruits of the Earth.

February 8: “Collective Resilience”
Service Leader: Rev. Aileen Fitzke

About the Service: How do work together to create a resilient society in light of future uncertainty? It is important to cultivate resilience as individuals but what does it look like to create a resilient society?
