ANNOUNCEMENTS & UPCOMING PROGRAMS
The Book of Ruth - An Exploration through Different Creative Lenses with Rabbi Borodin The rabbis say there are 70 faces of Torah. In this class we will have a chance to prepare for Shavuot through studying the story of Ruth (which is read on Shavuot) with multiple forms of creative and artistic expression as lenses for studying the text. No background in any of the art forms is needed. We will primarily study the artistic expressions of others on these books and have some op-portunity for trying the forms ourselves. Two sections will be offered – evening or daytime. Classes will cover the biblical text, rabbinic and contemporary midrashim, music and poetry, visual art, and movement. This class is FREE Wednesdays, 7:30-8:45pm: May 2, 9, 23 Thursdays, 12:30- 1:45pm: May 3, 10, 17 Caring for Aging Loved Ones: Understanding Dementia, Depression, Delirium Thursday, 5/10, 6:30 – 8:00pm in the Beit Midrash Learn more about addressing pressing questions and experiences related to aging and caregiving. Dementia, depression and delirium are three of the most complicated mental health concerns for older adults. It is crucial to recognize and differentiate among these. Delirium requires immediate medical attention, while depression can lead to serious health issues or suicide. Depression also can be misdiagnosed as dementia. Karen Kent, from JFS, a licensed mental health counselor with a specialty in geriatrics, will help us clarify differences and identify appropriate treatment for each. RSVP to Talya Gillman at [email protected] or (206) 861-8784. Join in the Celebration of Beth Shalom’s 50th Anniversary The Pleasure of Your Company: Sign up for a dinner, wine tasting, dessert buffet, fascinating talk!

Shavuot 5778: Back to the Future Saturday, 5/19, 7:00pm to Dawn 5/20
All night learning, unrolling of the Torah, dawn minyan, and lots of cheesecake! In celebration of Beth Shalom’s 50th anniversary, we’ve done a lot of reflecting on the past. For Shavuot this year, join us for a night of learning and imagining on the theme of the Jewish future.
The Future of Conservative Judaism and Jewish Community
Hear from several generations, including our teens, college students and millenials of Jewish leaders about their hopes, dreams, concerns, and visions of what Conservative Jewish life might look like in 50 years. What is on the horizon, and how should our past inform our future?
Situations the Rabbis Could Never Have Imagined: The Next 50 Years of Technology through a Jewish Lens.
As technology develops more rapidly than ever before, the Jewish community must try to keep up. How will these developments affect Jewish life? What are the potential ethical concerns we foresee with various kinds of technology and biomedical developments? How will halakhah respond to a world that previous generations could never have imagined?
Our evening begins at 7:15 with the unrolling of the Torah and our 6th graders reading their maftir as part of our exploration of Torah.
