Selichot
Saturday,
September 12, 8:30pm
Join Pardes Levavot as we enter into the High Holy Days season with an
intimate and deep experience
of Selichot.
Selichot
(forgiveness) refers, in this case,
to the service which traditionally takes place around midnight on the
Saturday
night of the week before Rosh HaShanah. This time
affords us the opportunity to prepare for the holidays by
looking deeply into our soul, and discern the ways in which we have
measured up
or missed the mark during the year. We encounter the 13 Attributes of
Mercy,
and open to the transformation that the New Year promises.
Getting
Involved
Learn
Hebrew at Pardes Levavot
We are so blessed
that our own member, Debbi Foster,
is one of the most creative and fun Hebrew teachers in Boulder.
Our
children have been loving her classes for over
a year now. Debbi is presently teaching a 2nd year class for
elementary age children – with room to add more students. They are
working on
reading skills and building a vocabulary, with a focus on prayerbook
Hebrew.
We will offer a beginning Hebrew class for
children, right after Rosh HaShanah. Please contact us if you are
interested in
giving your child this wonderful gift of a creative, fun learning
opportunity
in a small, focused group.
And, for all you adults out there who have always
wanted to learn to read Hebrew, understand enough to participate fully
in
Jewish life in the Synagogue and home….and maybe even celebrate the
Bar/Bat Mitzvah
you missed as a child. A beginning Hebrew class for adults will form
shortly
after the High HolyDays, and may grow into an adult B’nai Mitzvah
program.
Looking ahead – Reb Nadya will offer a Torah
chanting class in the winter or spring of this coming year.
Debbi’s classes meet on Thursday
afternoons/evenings – and we are open to making other options available
as
needed.
Please contact us at Hebrew@pardeslevavot.org
with
any questions you may have, or to sign up for one of our classes.
May this be a year of growth and joy in learning
for all of us.
Come join Pardes
Levavot on our Facebook
page. Engage in discussion, hear of new events, and lend us your
support. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join.

A young stranger in New York was seeking Yeshiva University but the
many directions he had received only confused him and he became lost.
Luckily, he saw a learned old man approaching him with a load of books
under his arm. He stopped the professorial man. "Tell me, sir, how do I
get to Yeshiva University?"
The old man thought about the question for a moment or two and then
replied,
"Study, young man. Constant study!"
