Temple Shalom of Newton

We had such a special Shabbat service this past Friday night as we celebrated our Learning and Engagement students as they head off to camp for the summer! We also said a special goodbye to Lucy Banerji, who after 9 long years of running Temple Shalom Nursery School will be moving on to new ventures. We are wishing our students and Lucy the best of luck on their journeys!

✨ Take a moment to pause, reflect, and recharge with us. ✨

Join us for Shabbat Mind: Mindfulness & Meditation on Saturday, June 13, at 12PM in Room 101 or via Zoom.

Experience an hour of Shabbat-inspired stillness and reflection, led by members of our community. Together, we'll explore guided imagery, meditation, meaningful discussion, and sharing in a warm and supportive environment.

Whether you're new to mindfulness or have an established practice, all experience and comfort levels are welcome.

We are so proud of the Bazinsky family for their incredible advocacy work for the New England Hemophilia Association! Today’s Boston Bloody Mary competition was amazing.

What a night at Fenway! ⚾️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and the Red Sox for Jewish Heritage Night! There’s nothing better than celebrating community, connection, and pride together—and the Sox made it even sweeter with an incredible 8–0 win! 🎉

We were so honored to host Micah Hendler, Founding Director and Artistic Director of the Jerusalem Youth Chorus here at Temple Shalom. We delighted in an interactice musical program lead by Micah, who brings Jewish and Palestinian musicians together in groundbreaking artistic collaboration.

🌸 Chag Shavuot Sameach! 🌸
Fifty days after Passover, we stand again at Sinai — receiving the Torah, celebrating the first harvest, and renewing our covenant as a people. Shavuot is a holiday of gratitude, wisdom, and sweetness in every sense of the word 🍯
