NEW SERIES!
The sun, moon and stars have always captured our attention and imagination. Judaism has a unique perspective that we will examine in this three part series. This series will make your relationship with time itself more meaningful and spiritual. I hope you can join us! Each class is its own unit; you may attend one or all.
