It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like
HANUKKAH!
Saturday, December 28, at 4:00 p.m.
Unity of Gainesville
Shalom b’Harim is pleased to invite our congregants and the entire North Georgia Jewish community – including children and grandchildren of all ages – to join us for a fun, family-oriented Hanukkah Festival on Saturday, December 28, at 4:00 p.m. at Unity of Gainesville. We’re planning:
- A competition to select the best-tasting latkes
- Activities for kids including coloring and building eco-friendly menorahs out of natural materials
- Playing dreidel
- Menorah-lighting (bring your own!)
- Music and more
Our celebration will begin with opening prayers led by Rabbi Matan Peled and also will feature a Havdalah service conducted by our President, Miriam Rosenberg.
We’re asking everyone to bring something to share for our Hanukkah feast – latkes, sufganiyot (jelly donuts) or another treat. We’re also looking for volunteers to help with our activities. Please use this link to register.
As the Jewish Community of the North Georgia Mountains, Shalom b’Harim serves residents of Hall, Dawson, Forsyth, Habersham, Lumpkin, White and other North Georgia counties.
We hope to see everyone on December 28!
Shalom b’Harim Mission Statement
We are coming together as a Jewish community to provide a place of Traditional Jewish worship, learning, and assembly, and to engage in various other activities that will promote the spiritual and educational welfare of the Jewish people of the North Georgia Mountains.
Our focus is in the building of a caring Jewish Community, in the spirit of our shared traditions. We are committed to a participatory and democratic process both in congregational governance and in worship.
We hope to encourage and support one another as we grow in our studies and in loving-kindness and social responsibilities.
Traditional Jewish Worship
Our participants are Reform, Conservative and Orthodox from both Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions. There is something here for you. We are an unaffiliated shul but services are conducted from the Gates of Prayer siddur. Musical accompaniment is frequently part of our service. We are not a part of the Messianic movement.
About Us
We are an inclusive, not exclusive, organization dependent upon the generosity of our participants to maintain our operations. As such we have no dues structure and all are welcome. Like our forefathers we are wanderers; we do not have our own home. The Unity of Gainesville Congregation generously provides us use of their facility for services.
