Adi's Story (During the Evening Service)


Adi's Story (During the Evening Service)
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.

Learn to Chant with Cantor Cohen: Haftarah Trope (Session 3)


Learn to Chant with Cantor Cohen: Haftarah Trope (Session 3)
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.
You can attend this class even if you have not attended the previous ones.

You hear it on TV, in movies, on stage, and even from some buskers in our fine city. We all know opera is everywhere now, but how did that happen?

Lunch is hosted by the Jewish Women International Foundation BC (JWI BC), in memory of Sara Ciacci z"l and her legacy of supporting food security in Vancouver. Donations to Temple Sholom's Caring Community Fund, in honour of Sara's legacy, at the time of registration will be greatly appreciated.
