East Side Jews

BirthBirthBirthBirth

Our neighbourhoods in East Van are where we connect. East Side Jews gives us an opportunity to engage in Jewish living, locally.

East Side Jews strives to create meaningful Jewish connections. We hope to bring together neighbours of all backgrounds to experience Jewish living together. Interfaith families are warmly welcome.

Mazel Tov to Temple Sholom’s East Side Jews program!

Temple Sholom was one of eight winners from all across North America of the 2015 Union for Reform Judaism’s Belin Outreach and Membership Awards.

‍

The selection committee felt East Side Jews was an exceptional example of how a community can welcome and engage people in new and creative ways. Temple Sholom received $1,000 to continue to support the East Side Jews program, and was formally recognized for this achievement at the 2015 URJ Biennial in Orlando, FL.

‍

Yasher Koach to Rabbi Carey Brown and Lisa Pozin, who run the East Side Jews program, on the incredible work they are doing to reach Jewish families in Vancouver and bring them into the Jewish Tent.

Mazel Tov!

East Side Jews Pesach Scavenger Hunt

Join the East Side Jews for a Pesach-filled afternoon!

Make a Seder plate…BUT WAIT! The pieces are missing!!! It will be your job to search high, search low (just like finding the afikomen), search all around for the pieces.
Don’t worry, we will give you some clues. Once your Seder plate is all assembled, we will tell a Pesach story.

And of course, for all that work, you’ll need a nish nush (snack).

You won’t want to miss this!
Crafts, snacks, stories, and laughs with friends.

Cost: $8 per person. Registration required.

iEngage – Liberal Zionism: Between Crisis and Aspiration

A Shalom Hartman Institute Curriculum

Please RSVP to  sisterhood@templesholom.ca

Bring your own apron, cutting or chopping knife and a vegetable peeler. Also bring your lunch if you wish.

We are also looking for volunteers to be available to deliver the soup as needed.

iEngage – Liberal Zionism: Between Crisis and Aspiration

A Shalom Hartman Institute Curriculum
Join us for a thoughtful and timely 8-session learning series taught by Rabbi Carey Brown and Rabbi Dan Moskovitz, based on the acclaimed iEngage curriculum from the Shalom Hartman Institute.
In this course, we will explore the core tensions and values of liberal Zionism in a post–October 7 reality. Together, we’ll explore dominant critiques of Israel and Zionism, grapple with moral complexity, and develop frameworks for teaching and talking about Israel in a time of war — with courage, compassion, and clarity.
This course is designed for those seeking a deeper understanding, honest conversation, and meaningful tools to engage their communities during an especially challenging moment for the Jewish world.
