Class description: "Have you ever wanted to study Talmud but had no idea where (or how) to start? With only knowledge of the aleph-bet you can delve into one of the most widely studied Jewish texts and learn how to break down the meaning of text on a daf (page). Through yeshivah style instruction, we will break down a section of Berachot in the original Hebrew and Aramaic with an emphasis on building dictionary skills, understanding of the structures of rabbinic arguments, and feeling a sense of ownership over our own places in the Rabbinic tradition.

Rehearsal for the Community Klezmer Band & Rikud Dancers is open to all. No experience required for dancing - all dances are taught. Musicians and singers must know the basics of their instrument.

West African dance is multi-layered, engaging every part of the body. But no need to be intimidated; you take on as many of those layers according to your comfort level. The physicality of the dance, so different from how we generally move, and the singing of the drums, invite you to release whatever emotions you might've been feeling earlier in the day, or what you are feeling in the moment. It's about moving from your core and from your heart. Most importantly, it's about supporting each other in learning a different kind of dance form, and building community.
The first six-week session: Monday nights March 24 - May 12, 6-715pm. Requested donation of minimum $8 per class or $44 up front for all six which pays the drummers. Call, text or email if you have questions. 505-967-8208. Hope to see you at our next class, Monday March 31!

Spring is almost here, so let’s enjoy the changing seasons and circle up around candlelight for a night of nigunim at Nahalat Shalom, hosted by community member Adam Horowitz.

Drawing from the wellspring of Jewish mystical tradition, we'll sing nigunim new and old. No prior experience required! If there are nigunim that you know and would enjoy sharing, please feel free to bring and to teach!

Nahalat Shalom - Bayt B’racha
It’s Shabbat (it’s the time we could get!). It will be an easeful process, and a relaxing time of being together.
This your golden opportunity to actively participate in a transformational and healing process, with the intention of improving the future of Nahalat Shalom.
And, who is Nahalat Shalom? It is each one of you, and all of us!
We’ve created what it has become, and we get to create who we are, each time we show up, which we do in so many ways!
Whether you’ve recently joined us or have been around a while, you’ve likely experienced the joy of being part of a welcoming, rich, diverse and loving community.
I’m guessing you’d consider this precious, especially in these times.
It’s possible that as well, you’ve experienced some of the challenges, that come with being in community, as they do in life.
During this session we’ll identify limiting patterns that have kept us from what we’d love to create and enjoy. Using self~healing modalities, we’ll shift our vibrational frequencies to resonate with what we’d love to create! (Hence the name Resonance Repatterning!)
Whether or not you’re able to show up (in person or by zoom), you’re invited to respond in writing to the title question. Your valuable contributions will help create more clarity and focus for creating what we’d love.

“This was the “order of things” in which we grew up: We were “The Communities on the Seam Line,” they were “The Communities of the Triangle” – completely different names for neighboring com-munities sometimes adjacent to each other. Despite the immediacy of our being neighbors, it was as if the two populations belonged to two opposed magnetic fields: the Jews, who belong to the coastal plain region, are perceived as those with the task of “stitching” that land to Samaria; the Palestinians belong to the focal point from which their identity emanates: the Triangle of Nablus – Jenin – TulKarm, over the Green Line. All of them, Jews and Arabs, are citizens of the State of Israel, but there is a gaping abyss between them.”
