Midway Jewish Center

Men's Club monthly meeting

If you knit or crochet, join other Midway volunteers via Zoom for this weekly group, to make blankets for children undergoing cancer treatments. Even though we can't gather physically, we can still Zoom away at our blankets!

Back by popular demand. Cantor will help you melt away all those tensions through the practice of Yoga Nidra or psychic sleep. These sessions will include specific breathing techniques and deep healing relaxation in a seated position or on the floor.

These are tough, tough times. Some of us are ill and home bound. Some of us have hospitalized loved ones whom we cannot see. And some of us have lost dear friends and family whom we deeply miss. Come to this service of healing for song and meditation. In the age of Zoom, we will, in our own separate spaces, come together.

The Daf Shevu’i class has been meeting for a few years and is wide-open to new members. We do one page of Talmud a week. Sound slow? Only to those who may have never opened a page of Talmud. The page or daf is pretty dense. We are studying Avodah Zarah, meaning idolatry, and deals with the issues that keep the Jewish people from falling into the trap of false values, goals and aspirations. These are fascinating ideas that inspire spirited conversation, week after week. Contact Rabbi Rank (rafirank@mjc.org) for further information about joining

Kabbalat Shabbat

We recite the last service of Shabbat (Minhah), the first service of the first day of the week (Ma'ariv), and bid Shabbat farewell with wishes that the learning and energy we gained through Shabbat make the upcoming week productive, creative and fulfilling.
