JOIN US FOR OUR FIRST FABRENGEN

Inspired by Rabbi Ron’s recent trip to Israel where he attended an intensive Yiddish program, we are excited to announce our first Fabregen (gathering) Saturday, October 6, following Kiddush.  The focus of this initiative is to enrich the experience of Yiddish culture for Yiddish speakers and “friends”, and is meant to help foster new insights into the creative impulse of Yiddish culture.The hour and a half will begin with a niggun or song or two, followed by a short text and a discussion in Yiddish or English, and close with a few songs related to the theme of the day.  The first session will relate to Sukkot. 

Future dates will be: December 1; February 2; April 6; and June 1.

RE-ENGAGE WITH ISRAEL

In collaboration with the Shaare Zion, Congregation Dorshei Emet is bringing the acclaimed Shalom Hartman Institute's video lecture series,"iEngage Israel"to Montreal's Jewish Community

The iEngage curriculum elevates the conversation about Israel -- rooting it in Jewish values and ideas rather than in a response to crisis.

Classes will be held on Mondays from 7:30-9:00pm beginning Oct 15th at Congregation Dorshei Emet, 18 Cleve Road, Hampstead.

Registration: $36 per semester (plus $20 for a comprehensive source guide)

*Names with an asterisk (*) indicate a memorial plaque in our sanctuary. We encourage you to consider adding to our memorial board. To do so, please call Barbi at 514-486-9400.

If you would like an Aliyah for a yahrtzeit on a Shabbat morning, please identify yourself to a Parnass when you come into the sanctuary.  It is recommended that you arrive by 10:15 so as not to miss the opportunity. If you prefer to say Kaddish at the Monday or Wednesday Minyan closest to the actual Yahrtzeit, please contact Lois Lieff at loislieff@sympatico.ca.

It is a traditional mitzvah to honour a Yahrtzeit or other important family occasion by making a Tzedakah donation. To donate to the synagogue or sponsor a Kiddush, please contact the Dorshei Emet office.

MORNING MINYAN

Minyan takes place every Monday and Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m., followed by breakfast. Monday is a traditional davenning and Torah reading. Wednesday is a Mindfulness Meditation minyan.

If you are saying Kaddish, observing a yahrtzeit, or marking a special occasion, please join us.  It is a wonderful way to start the week or the day in a warm and inspiring ambience among friends.
