Rosh Chodesh: Sisterhood Connections and Conversations
2024-12-01 09:15 - 11:00 (America/New_York)
Rosh Chodesh, literally translated as, “the new month,” has long been considered a holiday gifted to women – when we take time to focus on our own personal growth.
Come to connect with other women, to grow and reflect on the month that has passed, breathe, and give yourself the gift of time to focus your intentions for the month ahead.
This year, through text study, speakers and inspiring conversations, we will focus on what it means to connect with your intuition, and how to listen and learn from the “still quiet voice” within.
All women are welcome and refreshments will be served.

Blind Spot Film Screening
2024-12-01 19:00 - 21:30 (America/New_York)
A must-see film about the threat to Jewish life on campus, told through the voices and experiences of students.
Blind Spot is the first film to document both the antisemitism that existed on American campuses before October 7 and how it led to the explosion of virulent and often violent campus antisemitism after October 7. In their own words, it tells the story from the perspectives of more than two dozen students at more than a dozen schools who’ve experienced and fought against this hatred.
Following the movie, there will be a panel discussion with our clergy and student activist from UPenn Maya Harpaz and her mother Pamela.

Pre-K is a very special year for our students here at the Beth El Early Learning Center. It’s a time to learn, grow, have fun, and prepare for the transition to elementary school. Part of that transitioning process is deciding whether or not to pursue gifted testing for your child.
You may have many questions about gifted testing. What is giftedness and does my child exhibit the characteristics of a gifted child? Should I test my child, and if so, when is the best time? How does the gifted program differ from the regular curriculum? What if my zoned elementary school does not have a gifted program?
If you have questions or simply would like to receive information regarding the gifted program in Palm Beach and Broward counties, including the eligibility requirements, testing process, and specifics of the individual gifted programs, please register for this exclusive, informative workshop!
