Sisterhood and Brotherhood present: Su Neuhauser and her Stolpersteine journey
In October 2023, Su Neuhauser traveled to Vienna, Austria to place Memorial Plaques—or Stolpersteine—at the last known addresses of family members who perished in the Shoah. This was a years-long effort that involved gathering historical documents and address information prior to, and during, WWII for each family member. This presentation will describe that experience as well as touch on other issues to include how to locate a gravesite and how to reclaim citizenship status. This is a free event; see the most recent e-news for details.

Rabbi Shefa Gold: Cultivating Spiritual Maturity
Purchase tickets via ShulCloud
​
As we prepare for the High Holy Days, each of us is sent to our own spiritual work of becoming whole, connecting ourselves to a Larger Reality, healing the source of our reactivity, and opening to blessing. We step onto the path of spiritual maturity when we stop blaming anyone (including ourselves) and instead learn to call on the inner Divine resources that have been planted within us, and begin sharing that flow of abundance in collaboration with the whole wide world. Join Rabbi Shefa Gold in this workshop, where we will open to that flow, and rise meet the obstacles and resistances that can show us the path of true healing towards wholeness and connection.
