SUMMARY:Selihot
DESCRIPTION:This Saturday night at 9:30 we will usher in the final countdown to the High Holidays with our yearly Seliḥot (“Penitential”) service\, preparing ourselves spiritually and ethically for the High Holiday season. This year we will have the choice to attend in-person\, or participate remotely over two different virtual platforms\, StreamSpot and Zoom.  \n  \nSeliḥot is a good way to get into the mood of these “Days of Awe\,” as well as refamiliarize ourselves with some of the beautiful High Holiday melodies we’ll soon sing together on Rosh haShanah and Yom Kippur in synagogue.  \n  \nThis year’s Seliḥot is unique\, as we will all have a chance to hear and meet our High Holiday ḥazzan\, Jonathon Adler\, who will be joining us remotely from away. Jonathon is a Rabbinical School student at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York\, and we are excited to welcome him (and his beautiful singing voice) to the Shaar to enrich our tefillah\, beginning with Seliḥot.  \n  \nWe will gather in-person in the Shaar sanctuary this Saturday night at 9:30\, and the StreamSpot and Zoom webcasts will be live then.  \n  \nLooking forward to sharing this very unique service with you.

SUMMARY:Breakfast Club: Water Protectors in Nova Scotia - a Film & Discussion at the Atalntic School of Theology
DESCRIPTION:Do we need Water Protectors in Nova Scotia? What are Water Protectors?\nThese are the questions we will explore through a short film “Water Protectors” screened at a Shaar Breakfast Club. Following the film\, a discussion will be facilitated by Eliza Knockwood\, a Spiritual Mi’kmaq artist/film producer\, and Bobbi Zahra. Eliza Knockwood will discuss her passion for a sustainable earth and Bobbi Zahra will weave in the natural fit with the indigenous people of Israel\, who understand the importance and sacredness of water. The discussion will also touch on ways in which minority populations can work together in activism. \nPlease note this Breakfast Club will be hosted at the Atlantic School of Theology. A donation of $5 is requested to cover food costs. \nPlease RSVP to the Shaar office if you plan to attend: shaarshalom @eastlink.ca \n

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: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:Purim Celebration!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a spirited megillah reading including live musical comedy entertainment by our rabbinic team! Come in your best costume and be ready to make some noise and enjoy refreshments.\nAside from reading the megillah\, one of the key observances of Purim is helping those in need with gifts of food and money. This year\, on Purim eve\, we’re collecting non-perishable food items to donate to Feed Nova Scotia. We especially encourage you to bring items\, such as hard pasta\, that can make a loud sound and use as a grogger during the reading!
