Elul Shabbat Series: Prepare Your Heart, Renew Your Soul
The month of Elul prepares us for the High Holidays—not just with rituals, but with readiness of the heart. Before we arrive at Rosh Hashanah, we need time to slow down and learn the sacred tools that help us return to ourselves. Each Shabbat in Elul gives us a moment to pause and to reclaim what matters most. This is your invitation to begin the work with us, together.

Friday, September 11
7:00pm Elul Shabbat#3: Kaparah, Make Amends
To heal, we must face the truth. This Shabbat calls us into the courageous work of repair—of examining our impact, asking hard questions, and beginning to mend what is broken. It is not about guilt; it’s about growth.
In-person & livestream (not Zoom), LivestreamPray.brithachim.org
Saturday, September 13
7:00pm Selichot: White Attire, A Night of Soul-Stirring Music and Meaning
Selichot is our sacred prelude: a night of beauty, truth, and transformation. Join us dressed in white for hors d’oeuvres, deep conversation, and music that reaches somewhere deeper than words.

Adult Hebrew Classes
Familiarity with the Hebrew language and common words
can be a key to feeling comfortable in Jewish community
and congregational life.
Brith Achim is offering both a Beginner and an After Beginner class this year. There is no previous knowledge of Hebrew required to participate in our beginner class, where we will learn the letters of the alphabet and begin learning basic Hebrew words. Upon completing this course one should feel more comfortable at services and helping your children as they learn Hebrew. After all parents are our children’s primary teachers.
Our After Beginners class will move forward to learn Hebrew
in a more formal way. Adding grammar and a more extensive vocabulary. Those who took beginner’s Hebrew last year
will find this class the next step, and anyone who can decode Hebrew is welcome to join this class.
Each level will meet on one Sunday morning a month
during Religious School hours. The first After Beginner’s
class is September 14th and the first Beginner Class is
on September 21st.
If you are interested, RSVP Kareen Hartwig at kareenhartwig@gmail.com
Only cost will be the price of the book.
