Join us for a Shabbat Picnic and Search for Shretelech! Maggid David Arfa will lead us on a mini-expedition in search of the kindly Shretelech, the Yiddish word for elves. We'll explore the natural world through the eyes of children, hear stories of the magical Shretelech, and build shelters for them. Along the way, we'll explore the colors and textures of nature and introduce Jewish blessings for the natural world. After the hike, we'll gather for Shabbat Dinner on the grill.

For preschool and young elementary aged kids and their families. Free and open to all.

Come for the music, the food and the inspiring stories of caring teens who are peace builders and healers in their school communities. Sponsored for 19 years by the Interfaith Council of Franklin County, in these hard times, treat yourself to this soul food!

7:00PM at the Dining Commons at Greenfield Community College 1 College Drive.

Temple Israel's Teen Group will be screening the film "Accidental Courtesy." Summary: Daryl Davis is an accomplished musician who was played all over the world. He also has an unusual hobby, particularly for a middle aged black man. When not displaying his musical chops, Daryl likes to meet and befriend members of the Ku Klux Klan. When many of these people eventually leave the Klan with Daryl's support, Daryl keeps their robes and hoods; building his collection piece by piece, story by story, person by person, in hopes of one day opening a museum of the Klan.
