Sacred Space for Sacred Preparation
2026-09-01 13:00 - 14:00, 2026-09-03 18:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York)
Tuesdays, August 18, 25, and September 1 from 1:00 – 2:00 pm
Thursdays, August 13, 20, 27 and September 3 from 6:00 – 7:00 pm
The month of Elul is a sacred threshold, a season of preparation that invites us to pause between what has been and what is yet to come. As we stand at the doorway of a new year, we are called to reflect on who we have been, who we are becoming, and what we hope to carry forward into 5787.
Throughout Elul, the doors of our sacred spaces will be open, creating space for quiet reflection, personal prayer, and sacred intention. Come and stand in front of the open ark, in the presence of our Torah scrolls. Bring your hopes, your questions, your gratitude, and your longings for the year to come. Allow yourself to linger in the stillness, to listen deeply, and to notice what is stirring within.
May this time offer a moment to reconnect with your truest self and to open your heart to the possibilities that await. Come Alone. Come with Family. Come with a Friend.

Lunch & Learn: Israel Votes 2026 - "Never Has There Been Such an Important Election" with Michael Hollander
2026-09-08 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Temple Beth El – Schaefer Family Campus, 333 SW 4th Avenue, Boca Raton, FL, 33432, United States
One of the more popular questions Michael Hollander has faced in teaching about Israel over more than 40 years is “Why is the Israeli system of governance so crazy? It seems like your government barely survives its fragile coalition and you are always on the brink of heading to new elections. Why does everything feel like such a ‘balagan’ here?”
This four-part series is designed to help you understand the nature of Israeli democracy and how the uniquely Israeli political system and elections work. Three sessions will be offered during the campaign and before the elections, and the fourth will be shortly after the dust settles and a coalition is made to form a new Israeli government.

Part I – How a People Without Power Became a Powerful People: Israeli Democracy
Part II – Continued Challenges to Israeli Democracy – How did Israel go from its broadest (yet short-lived) coalition to the most right-wing government in its history in the 4th and 5th elections over 3 ½ years? What challenges has Israel faced during this topsy-turvy period?
Part III – Who are the parties and leaders, and what are the platforms and issues in this election?
Part IV – After the Election: What now? Where are we heading?

Mike Hollander is an Israeli tour educator, lecturer, and licensed guide with more than 30 years of experience teaching Jewish history, Zionism, and Israeli society. Originally from Canada, he made aliyah in 1988 and has spent his career leading educational journeys throughout Israel, Eastern and Central Europe, and lecturing to Jewish communities across North America. Mike also served as an educational emissary (Shaliach) for the Jewish Agency in the United Kingdom, where he helped develop programs for more than 1,000 Jewish youth annually. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he created a widely attended series of virtual educational tours and lectures, and since October 7, has continued to present programs on Israel’s history, politics, and current events to communities around the world.
