Dec 2This is Home: Screening and Discussion
Sunday, Dec 2nd 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm
Settlement of refugees has become an urgent project for Jewish Social Services and for local synagogues Temple Beth El, Congregation Shaarei Shamayim, and Beth Israel Center. Passionate volunteers have worked many long hours, donating and collecting necessities, setting up apartments, and assisting families in adjusting to new lives here—families from Afghanistan, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Pakistan, Rwanda, and Syria. Along with this activism, we need to try to better understand the experiences of people forced from their foreign homes and newly arrived in our community. To that end, Jewish Congregations for Social Justice and Jewish Social Services, in collaboration with additional sponsors, will co-host a free public showing of This Is Home: A Refugee Story, winner of the Sundance 2018 Audience Award: World Cinema Documentary. The film captures the experience of four families, refugees from Syria, as they struggle to adjust to new lives in Baltimore. The screening will take place on Sunday, December 2, beginning at 1:30 pm, at the Fitchburg Library, 5530 Lacy Road. After the 90-minute film, those interested can join local experts in a discussion of current US refugee policy and local refugee experiences. For more information, contact JSS at info@jssmadison.org. -

Dec 12Chai Mitzvah: Business Ethics
Wednesday, Dec 12th 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Rekindle your Judaism through ritual, study, and social action in the monthly Chai Mitzvah course, facilitated by Nicole A. Jahr, RJE. This course builds and deepens Jewish connections within the congregation and community. In this special version of the course focused on business ethics, you'll explore some of our tradition's teachings related to business and commerce. Often, we fragment our lives into religious and secular, confining Judaism to the home and synagogue. This dichotomy between religious and work lives is alien to Judaism because derech eretz, the way we walk in this world, is a form of Jewish expression. Indeed, Jewish law and ethics have much to say about the world of business and commerce. Over 100 mitzvot relate to commerce and business, even more than the number devoted to the laws of kashrut. Chai Mitzvah has five basic components in a nine-month program: • Group study - meeting monthly, with a text-based curriculum (you can see samples of the topics at www.chaimitzvah.org, under "Curriculum" • Personal study - design your own independent study on a topic of personal interest to you, looking at Jewish life, history, major figures, literature, culture, or other areas of interest • Adopt a ritual/spiritual practice and incorporate it into your life for the duration of the program • Social action - commit to helping in the community (either individually, or as a group) • Celebrate the achievement! At the end of the nine-month program, Temple Beth El will honor your journey. Participants who finish the program will receive a certificate from Chai Mitzvah and a tree planted in their name, courtesy of the Jewish National Fund's collaboration with Chai Mitzvah. Experience a fully integrated, meaningful Jewish life, exploring what’s important to you. If you have any questions, please contact Nicole A. Jahr, RJE, at learn@tbemadison.org. -

Mar 13Chai Mitzvah: Business Ethics
Wednesday, Mar 13th 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Rekindle your Judaism through ritual, study, and social action in the monthly Chai Mitzvah course, facilitated by Nicole A. Jahr, RJE. This course builds and deepens Jewish connections within the congregation and community. In this special version of the course focused on business ethics, you'll explore some of our tradition's teachings related to business and commerce. Often, we fragment our lives into religious and secular, confining Judaism to the home and synagogue. This dichotomy between religious and work lives is alien to Judaism because derech eretz, the way we walk in this world, is a form of Jewish expression. Indeed, Jewish law and ethics have much to say about the world of business and commerce. Over 100 mitzvot relate to commerce and business, even more than the number devoted to the laws of kashrut. Chai Mitzvah has five basic components in a nine-month program: • Group study - meeting monthly, with a text-based curriculum (you can see samples of the topics at www.chaimitzvah.org, under "Curriculum" • Personal study - design your own independent study on a topic of personal interest to you, looking at Jewish life, history, major figures, literature, culture, or other areas of interest • Adopt a ritual/spiritual practice and incorporate it into your life for the duration of the program • Social action - commit to helping in the community (either individually, or as a group) • Celebrate the achievement! At the end of the nine-month program, Temple Beth El will honor your journey. Participants who finish the program will receive a certificate from Chai Mitzvah and a tree planted in their name, courtesy of the Jewish National Fund's collaboration with Chai Mitzvah. Experience a fully integrated, meaningful Jewish life, exploring what’s important to you. If you have any questions, please contact Nicole A. Jahr, RJE, at learn@tbemadison.org. -
