May it be my custom to go out among the trees and grass, among all growing things...and enter into prayer. - Rebbe Nachman of Bratslav
Join us as we leave the walls of the synagogue and bring our Shabbat morning gathering into the sanctuary of the forest. We`ll start with an interactive stroll through the woods weaving in themes of Shabbat morning prayer, we`ll open up the Torah and read it among the trees of life, and end with a shared (bring-your-own) lunch and games for the kids at Spanish Banks.
We`ll meet at the west end of Spanish Banks (parking lot) at 9:45 am. 10:00-11:45 forest walk. 12:00 lunch and games on the field at Spanish Banks.

Shabbat Soul is a wonderful way to introduce friends to the spirit of Or Shalom
Join us for Kabbalat Shabbat, led by Rabbi Hannah with Martin Gotfrit & Wendy Rubin. This is a music-driven experience for winding down from the stresses of the week past and settling into the island in time that is Shabbat. A mix of joyful welcoming and restful introspection.

Heart-centred Torah Study for Women & Non-binary Members | 2 Spaces Available
This class reads the weekly (Torah) parsha together, a gleaning from scholars and/or our own impressions is presented by 1-2 participants, then each responds from the heart to what is speaking to us from the Torah portion and writes freely for 15-20 minutes. This is followed by each classmate sharing their rough, heart-centred writing. And a short reflection at the end. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays each month 6:30-8pm via video chat (Zoom).
