Congregation Beth David's Take on Timeless Traditions​

Are you young and Jewish? Do you sometimes wish you knew more about how to celebrate Jewish holidays and Shabbat, but you really don’t have the time or desire to do things the way your grandma did? Or maybe your grandma and grandpa didn’t actually celebrate holidays or traditions themselves and you feel cheated because you just don’t know anything about Judaism but wish you did! Did you go on Pinterest recently and see lots of creative, inexpensive Christmas table settings and wonder if Jewish special times could look that way?

If any of the above resonates with you, you might want to check out an upcoming program “The Hipsters Guide to Jewish Homemaking” hosted by Congregation Beth David.

Subtitled “Today’s Take on Timeless Traditions” it kicks off Thursday, January 26th from 7:30-10:00 pm.

You will learn new ways to enjoy holidays, Shabbat and Jewish life. Evenings will include food demos, crafting, discussion and real information and ideas on how to do Jewish stuff without stress and with enjoyment and satisfaction.

A themed signature cocktail and snacks will be served. Participants will receive a loose-leaf, retro binder in which to save all handouts, information, ideas and recipes.

Dates and themes for Hipsters Guide are:

January 26th- Shabbat, February 23rd- Purim, March 30th- Passover, April 27th- Jewish Values for Everyday Life, May 25th- Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) and Summer Living. All sessions are held at Congregation Beth David, 19700 Prospect Road, Saratoga.

You can RSVP to attend by January 20th at www.beth-david.org/RSVP or call the Beth David office at (408)257-3333 to sign up and/or ask questions. Cost for the 5 sessions is $125 for community.
