In Torah portion Ha'Azinu, Moses invites the people to think of the Torah, and thus their covenant with God, like rain. ☔ We find the following passage:
Let my teaching drop as rain,
Let my words fall like dew,
Like gentle rain on tender plants,
Like showers upon the grasses.
Here at the Tucson J, we also hope to be a life-giving force, providing nourishment that helps our community members grow and flourish—and we do this each day guided by our mission to cultivate and enrich Jewish identity, ensure Jewish continuity, foster wellness, and broaden communal harmony, and our service pledge to create community based on Jewish values by providing the highest quality programs and services in a safe and secure environment for people of all ages.
This week, we saw the fruit of that rain in a variety of ways.
📚On Tuesday, a new series of Spanish classes resumed with learners of all ages and skill levels coming together to learn something new guided by esteemed instructor, Myriam. What are you looking forward to learning in the new year?

The event included fall and balance assessments, safety presentations, and more!
