SUMMARY:May Day with Jews United for Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join JUFJers from across the region for a day of action and solidarity. The Trump regime and its billionaire allies are gutting union jobs in our region. They are hunting and killing people in the streets\, stripping away our rights\, overturning our laws\, desecrating our public lands\, and working overtime to entrench their own power. Now\, our elections are on the horizon. If we don’t take the reins this regime will move their intimidation from the streets to the polls. It’s time to make it clear we won’t accept anything less than elections that are free and fair\, and results that are respected. \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Jews United for Justice \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not

SUMMARY:Erev Shavuot Service with Dairy Oneg with Temple Micah
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, May 21 for a dairy oneg featuring cheesecake bites at 6 p.m.\, followed by our Erev Shavuot service at 6:30 p.m. \nOn Erev Shavuot\, we mark the end of the 49-day Omer count\, and the revelation of the Torah at Mount Sinai. The service includes the ritual reading of the Ten Commandments\, the singing of Hallel\, and reflections from our rabbis. Yizkor will be read. \nThis year especially\, we are drawn to give extra voice to the traditional reading for Shavuot: the Book of Ruth. Ruth is the righteous immigrant and paradigmatic convert\, the outsider who becomes central to the Jewish story. In a time when immigrants are too often met with suspicion rather than welcome\, Ruth’s story asks us to consider what it means to open a community to the stranger. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Temple Micah \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is
