Organized by the Jewish Federations of North America with support from the Jim Joseph Foundation and partners across the Jewish community, this unprecedented Shabbat of solidarity will unify Jews of all ages to experience the sacred joy of the Sabbath.

The Shabbat of Love website gives participants a choice to attend or host a dinner and offers a downloadable Dinner Guide with information on Shabbat rituals and even suggested discussion topics. The site also contains prompts for Acts of Love — “how to spread love the Jewish way” — such as volunteering in your community and writing a letter of support to Jewish students on campus.

Join us for a complimentary lecture by visiting scholar Rabbi Peter Tarlow entitled The Portuguese Jewish Experience: Its Influence on The Americas.

The lecture will take place on Tuesday, December 19, 7:30 pm, at Chabad, 1827 Ponce de Leon Blvd, Coral Gables.

RSVP: ChabadGables.com/lecture.

Rabbi Tarlow will address the history of the Portuguese Jewish experience and how that experience provides important lessons for American Jewry. Tarlow will not only delve into the impact of the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions on Modern Twenty-first Jewish life, but demonstrate how many who fled from Spain to Portugal and then to the New World are very much part of the current Sephardic return to Judaism.

He will also touch upon lessons that American Jews need to learn in these trying times and how the Portuguese Jewish story is not only one of past tragedy but also of future hope and rebirth.

This lecture is brought by Eugene and Barbara Rostov.

WEBINAR: Thursday, November 2, 8-9:15 PM

Join Moving Traditions for an honest one-hour conversation about how parents and teens can keep talking about the war in Israel and Gaza even as we may find ourselves with very different sources of information, peer groups, and possible responses to the ongoing war.

Moving Traditions CEO Shuli Karkowsky will sit down with a panel of experts to talk about the psychology behind how teens process the news, strategies to foster discussion when you agree and when you don't, and how to set boundaries for discourse and root those boundaries in love. The panel will include: • Dr. Julie Hirschfeld, a psychologist and parent coach • Dr. Jonathan Golden, Director of Drew University’s Center on Religion, Culture & Conflict • Rabbi Daniel Brenner, Moving Traditions' VP of Education • Emily Levine, a Kol Koleinu Teen Feminist Fellow who attends Scarsdale High School in NY and Westchester Reform Temple
