SUMMARY:NaKh and Nosh: Bible Beyond the Torah
DESCRIPTION:Although Jews are the people of the book\, there are many parts of the Jewish bible\, the TaNaKh\, we never read in services. The word TaNaKh is an acronym for the Jewish bible’s 3 categories of books: the Torah (the five books of Moses)\, Nevi’im (the Prophets)\, and Ketuvim (the Scriptures). Over the course of the Jewish year\, we read the full Torah\, but we never read the full books of NaKh (Nevi’im and Ketuvim).\nBut that has changed at Shaar Shalom!\nEach session\, we study one more chapter of NaKh: discovering why these words were so sacred to our ancestors\, and why so few Jews read them (outside of Halifax\, that is). Find Rabbi Rank’s table at kiddush for a little “NaKh and Nosh.”

SUMMARY:Genesis: A Living Conversation
DESCRIPTION:The stories in the book of Genesis such as\, creation\, humanity’s fall\, the flood\, Abraham and Isaac etc.\, have intrigued and inspired Jews\, Christians\, and Muslims alike for millennia. In the 1990s Bill Moyers facilitated a 10-part series on Genesis to stimulate interfaith dialogue in a democratic spirit. In the original PBS series\, writers\, artists\, psychologists\, composers\, and Biblical scholars\, debated and discovered the great stories of Genesis.\nDavid Atwood\, an intern minister at Rockingham United Church has initiated a Genesis Study group here in Halifax using video materials from the original PBS series as a resource. All are invited to become a part of the conversation which explores this important part of the three Abrahamic faiths.

SUMMARY:Chai Mitzvah Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Chai Mitzvah is a program to enhance Jewish engagement. Like a book group\, Chai Mitzvah network groups meet monthly for meaningful text-based discussions. What sets Chai Mitzvah apart from education programs is that each person in the group builds their ‘Jewish Bucket List’ by adopting or deepening a spiritual practice\, engaging in a social action project of their choosing\, and identifying something Jewish to learn about.  The cost of all of the packets is $36 USD\, which each participant pays once at the beginning. \nAfter meeting for nine months\, participants receive a certificate of completion and a tree is planted in Israel in their honor.

SUMMARY:NaKh and Nosh: Bible Beyond the Torah
DESCRIPTION:Although Jews are the people of the book\, there are many parts of the Jewish bible\, the TaNaKh\, we never read in services. The word TaNaKh is an acronym for the Jewish bible’s 3 categories of books: the Torah (the five books of Moses)\, Nevi’im (the Prophets)\, and Ketuvim (the Scriptures). Over the course of the Jewish year\, we read the full Torah\, but we never read the full books of NaKh (Nevi’im and Ketuvim).\nBut that has changed at Shaar Shalom!\nEach session\, we study one more chapter of NaKh: discovering why these words were so sacred to our ancestors\, and why so few Jews read them (outside of Halifax\, that is). Find Rabbi Rank’s table at kiddush for a little “NaKh and Nosh.”

SUMMARY:International Holocaust Remembrance Day Program
DESCRIPTION:1945\nHungary\, 2017\nHungarian (with English subtitles)\n91 minutes\nA fresh\, intelligent cinematic approach to a difficult topic that takes on a transitional time in Hungarian history with subtlety and nuance. – VARIETY\nHungary’s past is replete with unprocessed trauma.\nBased on the acclaimed short story “Homecoming” by Gábor T. Szántó\,\nFerenc Török\, director\, guides the audience back to 1945 with his new film.
