WEEKLY OFFERINGS

Monday Evening Learning with David Schwartz

Mondays at 8 PM, Zoom only. 
Zoom ID# 9245 552 6669 with Har Zion password.

Thursday Learning with Rabbi Glick 

Thursdays at 10 AM

The Midrash conveys the wisdom and imagination of the ancient rabbis as they created a whole world of thought and experience between the terse verses of the Torah. Each class will discuss one midrash and how it impacts our lives and our Judaism. For more information or to register to be on our Jewish Journeys' mailing list click here.

IN PERSON & Zoom 990 415 095 with the HZ password. 

Rabbi Glick and Yakira Levi invite our members to join the West Suburban Chevra Kadisha (WSCK) to participate in the powerful mitzvah of Taharah.
Click here for more information. Fill out the form to join the WSCK team, request a Taharah for yourself or a family member.

Over the centuries, a beautiful and powerful ritual called Taharah - washing, purifying and dressing the deceased for burial has arisen by which we sanctify the transition from life to death. Taharah is the work of the Chevra Kadisha. Oak Park Temple and Temple Har Zion have joined to form the WSCK. The first of its kind in the western suburbs, to make Taharah possible for our community.

When requested by a family member, a team of our volunteers will come to the funeral home to wash, purify and dress the deceased for burial.

Every day should be Earth Day (As Saturday, April 22 , actually is this year!)

More info on green programs on and on Earth Day programs on the Har Zion Earth Day page.

Plastic Collection: Transforming Plastic Bags into a Bench 

We are also continuing our collection of plastic bags (only clean, soft plastic) so we can get another free Recycled Plastic Bag Bench from Trex.

 

And Bread Tag Collection!

We are collecting bread tags (those little hard plastic things that are used to close the plastic bags on most commercial bread products). The proceeds of recycling these are then used to purchase wheelchairs and prosthetics for kids in need! (Yes, this really works.) See the Earth Day Page for more about this program.)

Miracle of Midrash, Rabbi Glick
The Midrash conveys the wisdom of the ancient rabbis, creating a world of thought and experience between the terse verses of the Torah. What were Abraham and Isaac thinking as they headed to the binding of Isaac? What was Moses doing for 40 days and nights on top of Mount Sinai? How did King Solomon truly build the Temps.
