The Habonim Dream, our shul’s men’s softball team, needs players 21 or older (18 if your dad or uncle play on the team). We play Sunday mornings starting in early May. Playoffs are in September. A season’s worth of fun for only $200, which includes a $50 one-time jersey fee. $50 refund for anyone who plays in 6 games.

A bargain at twice the price, and a great father-son or uncle-nephew activity.

Please join Eli Rubenstein

for a special musical Shabbat Service featuring both of our talented cantors:

Aviva Rajsky & Kim Doron 

accompanied by Josh Skye Engel

At this time of the year, Jewish communities around the world read the Torah portion describing the Exodus, when the Children of Israel fled their enslavement in Egypt. With the Egyptian army in pursuit, the sea parted in the Israelites path and the Israelites broke into joyous song over their rescue.

Shabbat Shira, the special Shabbat marking that event, has traditionally been celebrated with stirring music, and both of our cantors will share with us some of their favourite musical selections.

Please join us for this uplifting Shabbat evening!

We are looking for volunteers to join a Lay Shiva Group, whose members would be called upon, from time to time, to lead services at homes observing Shiva. As our congregation grows, we want to be sure that we are able to meet our growing needs while maintaining our “small shul” feel. This is a nice way to build community and help congregants feel connected when they are going through an extremely difficult time.

The volunteers must be able to read Hebrew and be familiar with prayer services. Training will be provided to ensure that you are comfortable in this role.

If you are willing and able, please contact

Melissa Muskat melissamuskat@gmail.com.

Calling all high school students! Are you looking for a fun and meaningful way to earn community service hours? Do you enjoy working with kids? Can you read simple Hebrew? If you answered yes to those three questions consider volunteering at Habonim's Jewish Heritage School on Sunday mornings!

To find out more contact the principal,

Suzanne Hersh: suzanne.habonim@gmail.com

Please attend a special service in memory of our late Cantor, Esther Ghan-Firestone, with a guest appearance by Esther’s great niece from Israel, Sharon Cohen, First Violin, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
