| | SHAVUOT GATHERINGS GET A BOOST FROM PJ LIBRARY THURSDAY, MAY 25 - MAY 31 Shavuot is a Jewish holiday that encourages us to gather with friends and enjoy one another's company. Traditional observances for Shavuot include ice cream socials, storytelling around a campfire, craft-making and even camping. But sometimes we just need a little push to get the wheels turning... PJ Library is offering to help families get things started with a reimbursement (up to $100) to help you host a Shavuot gathering, which can include ice cream, marshmallows, crafting supplies, campsite reservations or other hosting expenses. All you need to do is click over to THIS website and apply with the code provided on the site (it's MX29EA) and start planning your gathering with friends and family! For more information or ideas on how you can celebrate here in Tidewater, contact Youth & Family Program Coordinator, Nofar Trem (757) 965-2334. |

| MOON CIRCLE GATHERING IN JUNE THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 6:45 PM • Sandler Family Campus We invite you into a tradition that spans thousands of years: a monthly holiday known as Rosh Chodesh, meaning "head of the month." In the Jewish tradition, each month begins with a new moon, and the Hebrew calendar is the way the Jewish people have kept time for millennia. This gathering is a time to connect more deeply with ourselves, each other and the sacred flow of the Hebrew calendar. For the past few centuries, Rosh Chodesh has been one of Judaism's best-kept secrets. We're breathing new life into it by coming together for self-reflection and rituals that will help us connect with this ancient legacy, learn from Jewish wisdom and embrace the unique spiritual energy of each month. The Monthly Moon Circle is presented by Konikoff Center for Learning; attending the event is free, however a $7 donation is suggested. Sign up HERE to attend the last Moon Circle Meet-Up. |
