ffnai Moshe Sets Adult Classes
A year of trial reveals many truths.
The year just past has shown us the enduring strength of
Jerusalem's character.
It has also revealed, once again, The Hebrew University
of Jerusalem's remarkable support for its ancient, modern
city.
At American Friends of The Hebrew University, we ask
you to join us in wishing Jerusalem, Israel and The
Hebrew University a safe and healthy New Year.
And to you and your family, best wishes for the
coming year.
L'S han a Tova.

Congregation B'nai Moshe will offer a
variety of Hebrew and Judaica classes
for adult learners this new year. All are
open to the community at no charge,
regardless of background or Jewish

United Synagogue of Conservative

agogues throughout North America,
continues at B'nai Moshe. The ongo-
ing group has been reading and study-
ing the Tanach (Bible) for the past
two years. They will begin studying
Torah (the Five Books of Moses), the
first section of the Tanach, in
October, following the order of the
weekly Shabbat reading. New students
committed to weekly study are wel-
come. The Torah study begins Oct. 7.
Classes are from 10-11 a.m.

leave a message for the instructor with
the synagogue office.
B'nai Moshe also will continue to
offer its weekly "Stay and Learn on
Shabbat" series from 12:30-1:30 p.m.
(immediately following Shabbat
morning Kiddush), featuring a variety
of topics and instructors. This is a
drop-in and learn group. Sept. 15,
"Prayers and Music of Yom Kippur"
with Cantor Earl Berris; Sept. 22,
"Shabbat Shuvah — The Spiritual
Bridge Between Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur" with Nancy Kaplan;
and Sept. 29 and Oct. 6, "Seeing
Sukkot as Part'of the Days of Awe"
with Rabbi Elliot Pachter.
Another new initiative this fall will
be a weekly "unplugged" Mincha-
Maariv Learners' service from 6-6:30
p.m. Mondays, starting Oct. 15. Led
by Cantor Berris, the service will fea-
ture acoustic guitar accompaniment
to many contemporary musical set-
tings for daily prayers.
On the first Monday night of each
new month on the Jewish calendar, a
"Shiur l'Chodesh" study group with
Cantor Berris will follow the learners'
service. Topics will vary. The first ses-
sion will be Monday night, Oct. 22
(welcoming the new month of
Cheshvan).
