Hoping you can help — I recently discovered SHJ and started a small group locally, but my oldest turns 12 next month, and I’m running out of time to grow us a community from the grassroots up. I tried our local Reform synagogue last year, but it just isn’t a good fit. A friend suggested I search out CSJO groups to see if you might be willing and able to take on a couple of FL kids (since everything is online now anyway). Is that possible?
Hi Susan. What would be a good way for our Bar/Bat Mitzvah program teachers to reach out to you?
