The outcome of the recent Presidential election has hit us all hard. This was not the result that most Jews were hoping for. If you find the thoughts, "How did this happen?" or, "How will we survive the next four years?" impossible to shake off, don't despair: Jews are resilient. Our history is full attempts to beat us down, but we always survive.

Our Sunday School Director, Deirdre, thought it could be both therapeutic and fun to gather for a casual Shabbat of artistic self-expression...and venting! We can commiserate over crafts and snacks, followed by a Havdalah ceremony to transition us from rest to action, led by our Madrikh, Jeff Treistman.
