Seeds of Mussar: An Introduction to the Study and Practice of Mussar
This 3-part course will introduce a method that focuses on refining our attributes (middot) so that we are able to serve others with greater and greater joy. We will use Jewish mindfulness techniques to get in touch with our own soul and use that lens to understand others. The Torah introduced the idea of loving our neighbor as ourselves thousands of years ago; this Mussar program provides each student with a path toward meeting this overarching goal of Judaism.
Registration forthcoming – keep an eye on Ha Shavua

In this particularly stressful time we have many ways to creatively come together and support one another. Please join us for meditation. I’ll start off with a little teaching and then we will meditate together. Those who have the time and interest can stay on longer to share. I anticipate that teaching and meditation will run about 30 minutes. All are welcome — no experience necessary. Please mute your mic when you come into the zoom meeting. You are encouraged to unmute during our discussion. We have found that background noises seem to be amplified in the meeting.

Prayer Through Movement
2025-10-11 12:45 - 15:00 | Triple Classroom
In Prayer Through Movement, we express the spirit of Shabbat through movements suggested by the parsha, prayers, holidays, or other content identified by participants. Sessions begin with a focus on breath, joint mobility, and general body awareness and culminate in collaboratively creating a short movement sequence. No dance experience is required. We will meet int he Triple classroom.

Prayer Through Movement is led by Diane DeFries, formerly a professional choreographer and dance teacher, who guides us toward personal and communal expression through movement sequences that we create together. Diane is the daughter of long-time Adat Shalom member Tamar Lieberman z”l, who established the Creative Arts Committee, helped found Prayer Through Movement (as seen in the photo below), and believed the creative arts are an integral part of Reconstructionist services and synagogue life.

Prayer Through Movement
2025-09-20 12:45 - 15:00 | Triple Classroom
You are invited to join our Prayer Through Movement Chug every second Shabbat of the month in the triple classroom from 12:45-3:00.
The chug explores the connection of the body and spirit and the creative process. Each session is self-contained and there is no commitment to come every week. Sessions begin with gentle movement focused on breath, joint mobility, awareness of moving from the “inside,” and connections of the body to the environment. Through improvisation and collaboration, together we will create a short dance using the parasha, prayers, holidays, or other content suggested by participants as jumping off points. No dance experience is required, just a curiosity and willingness to participate.

Jewish Responsibilities: Climate Change, with Ron Edelstein

The Rabbi's Study
2025-06-25 12:00 - 12:35
The Rabbi’s Study – Delving into the Weekly Parsha with Rabbi Scott Perlo
Step into The Rabbi’s Study, a weekly gathering where participants join Rabbi Scott Perlo for an intimate and in-depth exploration of the Torah portion that will inspire his upcoming Shabbat drash (sermon). This is no ordinary study group—The Rabbi’s Study opens a space for deep, thought-provoking dialogue as Rabbi Scott shares insights, interpretations, and questions that often go unseen on Shabbat morning.
In this class, participants will dig into the week’s parsha together, uncovering the nuances, layers, and resonances within the text. Rabbi Perlo guides the study with his signature blend of humor, wisdom, and curiosity, inviting participants to grapple with ancient questions and discover contemporary relevance in the Torah’s timeless words. Each session encourages lively discussion and reflection, allowing participants to shape and challenge the ideas that may unfold in Rabbi Scott’s drash.
Whether you’re a seasoned student of Torah or a newcomer to Jewish learning, The Rabbi’s Study offers a rare opportunity to explore the weekly parsha in a setting that’s both rigorous and accessible.
