Challah and Conversation: "Mothers and Fathers: Can a Hallmark Card say it all?"
2025-05-09 09:30 - 10:30 (America/New_York)
Join with Rabbi Symons in a participatory conversation about how Jewish wisdom teaches us to raise up the next generation. We will reflect on the ways we were raised to honor our parents, how our children honored parents in our generation, and how children are honoring parents today. This conversation will be all the richer because you, parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, or friend might share your wisdom.
In the Challah and Conversation series, Rabbi Ron Symons, Shames JCC Sr. Director of Jewish Engagement, leads interactive guided conversations about life that weave the world around us with general spirituality through Jewish and other lenses. We begin our time together by lighting candles and end with a little grape juice and challah… all in a very inclusive way. Neighbors of all backgrounds are welcome. These are on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Fridays of each month.
