Next-Level Nusach: Advanced Nusach Practicum

This class is for those who already lead weekday morning services, or would like to. We will focus on weekday morning nusach (the melodic modes of prayer chant), what is correct and what isn’t. I hear some good nusach at our weekday services, and some that is … less so. Let’s dig into this as a community, and have fun doing so. Class will be participatory.

Participants will have the opportunity to strengthen their confidence in leading weekday morning services while developing a better ear for the traditional nusach. Through guided practice, listening, and discussion, we’ll explore the patterns that give the service its distinctive sound and work through common questions and challenges. Whether you are already comfortable leading or hoping to do so in the future, this class offers a supportive setting to practice, learn from one another, and deepen your understanding of the weekday morning service.

Classes can be attended in-person at Har Zion Temple. Participants are encouraged to attend the full series.

Current Events: Contemporary Israel and Jews in the News with Norman Einhorn

Join Norman Einhorn for a 16-session Current Events discussion series, held in the warm and welcoming home of Patty Grobman. Each session offers a chance to step back from the headlines and dig into what’s really happening in the world, and why it matters. Norman brings decades of teaching experience and a gift for making complex topics accessible, guiding participants through thoughtful, well-researched discussions rather than quick takes or soundbites.

This is more than a lecture series, it’s a community conversation. Set in the comfortable, intimate setting of Patty Grobman’s home, the series encourages open dialogue, respectful debate, and genuine curiosity. Whether you’re a news junkie who wants to go deeper or someone looking to better understand the forces shaping our world, this series offers a space to learn, question, and connect with others who share your interest in staying informed and engaged. No prior knowledge is required, just a willingness to think critically and participate in the conversation.

Class Schedule
