Sholom Shishim Kibbitz and Cookies

Sholom Shishim Kibbitz and Cookies

Temple Sholom seniors are invited to join us once a month for an opportunity to socialize, and have a conversation led by Temple Sholom member, Bruce Howitt.
Topic: China and the Jews
The first wave of Ashkenazi Jewish migration to Shanghai began in the 1880s, primarily as a result of anti-Jewish pogroms in the Russian Empire. Most came via Siberia or Manchuria, and although the numbers were relatively small at first, this migration laid the groundwork for later, larger arrivals—especially during the 1930s and 1940s.

Sephardi Jews (primarily Baghdadi Jews, such as the Sassoon and Kadoorie families) began arriving in Shanghai in the mid-19th century, after the First Opium War (1839–1842), when the city opened to foreign trade. They were drawn by the city's strategic geographical location. Shanghai was originally a small fishing village before its rapid growth into a major international port city.
Free of charge. Registration required.

Learn to Chant with Cantor Cohen: Torah Trope (Session 2)


Are you interested in chanting Torah or Haftarah, but never learned how? Did you chant Torah at your B’nei Mitzvah, but haven’t done it since? Are you curious about the system of cantillation that has been part of Jewish tradition for centuries?

Join Cantor Cohen this summer for a three-part course in cantillation.

We will cover why we chant, the origins of cantillation (the system of chanting our sacred texts), and work on practical Torah and Haftarah chanting skills so that you can feel confident chanting Torah or Haftarah at services! Even if you have chanted Torah before but want to brush up on your skills, please join us for this free series. Open to all musical levels.

Upcoming date:
Haftarah trope: Tuesday, August 5 from 6:30-8:00 pm

Prerequisite: You must be able to read Hebrew.

For Temple Sholom Members only. Free of charge. Open to all musical levels.

Adi's Story (During the Evening Service)

A conversation with Jacqui & Yaron Vital, the parents of Adi Vital-Kaploun.
Cousin of Temple Sholom member Jason Rivers.

In the early morning hours of October 7th, Hamas stormed Kibbutz Holit, a small kibbutz in southern Israel. As the terrorists went house to house, Adi hid with her two small children while her father hid two houses away. Adi's actions on that fateful morning saved the lives of her father and her children, Sadly, Adi was murdered by Hamas in her shelter. In the aftermath, Jacqui and Yaron are on a mission to tell their daughter's story and raise awareness to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.
