SUMMARY:A Lasting Legacy: Crafting Your Ethical Will
DESCRIPTION:An ethical will is a powerful and personal document—a final message to your loved ones that conveys your values\, wisdom\, and blessings. Unlike a legal will that distributes assets\, an ethical will passes on the intangible treasures of your life. Join Rabbi Steinman for a two-part class that will explore the rich history of ethical wills and guide you through the process of writing your own. \nIn the supportive atmosphere of our community\, you’ll learn about the importance of sharing your life’s lessons\, hopes\, and love with future generations. This course will provide you with the time\, space\, and guidance to begin creating a lasting legacy that truly reflects who you are and what you stand for. Advanced registration required. This program will take place on Nov. 4 and Nov. 11 at 7:00 pm at Temple Beth Shalom.

DESCRIPTION:Keshet – Where Kids Connect to Israel and Families Feel at Home \nKeshet is a joyful\, hands-on experience for children ages 4–8 to build a meaningful connection to Israel through culture\,\nHebrew\, tradition\, and community.\nKids explore Israeli life through music\, stories\, games\, and creative activities — while also being introduced to the Hebrew language\nin a fun and natural way.
