Our presenter will be taking us on a tour of the beautiful murals in Chicago - on Zoom, so we can enjoy the views while staying warm and cozy in our homes. Beth Sair is a retired educator, a volunteer at the Chicago Architecture Center, and a member of the Chicago Tour Guides Professional Association.
As the cold, freezing winter reaches its half-way point, warm up seeing the faces of community members! This Zoom ONLY service, at the request of members, is a chance to re-connect from near and far! There will be no in-person service at Beth Tikvah that evening.
BeTTY is going tubing at Villa Olivia!! (1401 W Lake St, Bartlett) 6th-12th graders are invited! Price includes 2 hours of tubing and dinner (pizza, salad, cookie, drink).
Rosh Hodesh (New Moon) – the start of each Hebrew month - has been observed by Jewish women for centuries. Our Rosh Hodesh group at Beth Tikvah offers a unique opportunity to engage spiritually with all who identify as women, age 18 years and over, as we explore the journeys of our lives as reflected through the rich treasury of Jewish stories, texts, and traditions. Hodesh tov! May you have a good month!
6th-8th graders: We will explore physical and emotional stress in our lives-the causes, effects, and potential antidotes. We will highlight physical and emotional self-care and present several simple tools you can use in your daily lives to take care of your bodies, hearts, and minds.
In this three week mini-series we will explore Jewish views on what it means to live a life of meaning and blessing, Jewish funeral customs and rituals, and Jewish understandings of the afterlife. The three sessions held in person and via zoom will be Sundays, January 15, 22, 29 11am-12pm. In person space is full. Please register for the ZOOM link.
