CPT Jewlicious Learners make Hankiot
Congregation P’nai Tikvah had a busy Pre-Chanukah and Chanukah Season.
CPT’s Jewlicious Learners enjoyed preparing for Chanukah. In addition to learning or reviewing blessings and the story of Chanukah, the youngsters made fabulous Avironim (Airplane Chanukiyot), ate Levivot (Latkes), decorated Chanukah cookies, and had a rousing game of Sov Sov Sevivon (Spin the Dreidle). We want to thank Bobbie Bernstein for the cookie project and our teaching staff (Rabbi Yocheved Mintz, Cantor Marla Goldberg, and Morah Iris Katz) for our fun-filled days of Jewlicious Learning!
The Jewlicious Learners then led the congregation in song at the pre-Chanukah service, Friday evening, December 20th

HaShem, do you ever forget?
Forgive?
If we are created in Your Image, can we?
Help us to let go of negative memories
Zichronot that do not help or nurture our neshama, our soul.
Lead us in the path of forgiveness and light as we work to build a community that is:
Welcoming,
Inclusive,
Caring,
Joyous.
Accepting,
Innovative,
Supportive,
Home.
Amen
Indigo Valley Joins CPT for Shabbat
On the First Friday evening of 2020, members of Congregation P’nai Tikvah were setting up for Shabbat services. The mood was somber. After all the shootings and other anti-Semetic acts that had taken place here in the United States and around the world, it was hard to bring the joy the one should have in welcoming the Sabbath. Although we are fortunate to be in a very safe venue, we wondered who might come and who might stay at home in fear. Would the haters win?
Precisely at 7:30 as we were about to begin, some dozen new people appeared. To our surprise and delight it was the board and some members of Indigo Valley Church led by their own Reverend Dr Charlotte Morgan. Pastor Char told us that they were following the words of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel of blessed memory who taught us all to “Pray with our feet.” They had come to pray with us, to help us feel less alone. They sang along to “Let There Be Peace On Earth,” led by Cantor Marla Goldberg, danced with us, and broke bread with Reb Jaimie Hyams.
During Announcements, Congregation P’nai Tikvah Vice President, Judi Stotland, said she was reminded of the words of Mr Fred Rogers: In hard or scary times, look for the helpers. There are always helpers.
We are grateful for our dear friends at Indigo Valley Church for helping transform a time of tension to an especially joyous Shabbat.
P’NAI TIKVAH IS A WARM AND WELCOMING, PROGRESSIVE, EGALITARIAN, AND PLURALISTIC CONGREGATION FOCUSING ON THE SPIRITUAL, EDUCATIONAL, AND SOCIAL WELL-BEING OF THOSE WHO WISH TO LIVE A FULFILLING AND MEANINGFUL JEWISH LIFE. Services are held on the first and third Fridays of each month.

Shabbat Inspiration – Choosing Living Judaism
This week as our online prayer group collected our thoughts, one of the undertones was the growing fear that the American Jewish community is under attack, that the times are changing, and that we need to take action to defend ourselves. Many of us are asking “Is this...
Yom Kippur Morning – by Reb Jamie Hyams
I have been blessed with my first 0ne-on-one bat mitzvah student, a lovely 11 year-old girl. It has been a long time since I was 11, and I have no daughters so hanging out with an 11 year-old is a new experience for me. Clara and her parents are Argentinian and she spent 4 years in Hong Kong, and then Ohio, and now in our community, so her perspective is fresh, enriching and causes me to think.
