Join a Beth Am Sh'ma Group
Join a Virtual Beth Am Sh'ma Group
Sh’ma Groups are small, intimate, regularly-scheduled gatherings of people who want to have fun, make new friends, learn and celebrate their Judaism. And now, you can join a group that will meet over Zoom.
During this time of sheltering-in-place, Sh'ma Groups is a wonderful opportunity to build community and deepen our connections to each other. Once groups are formed, you'll hear from Beth Am staff to arrange a first meeting, in which your group can decide on frequency of meetings (once a week, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.), and how you want to structure your conversations. We have lots of materials to frame your discussions, or you can just meet regularly to schmooze. Sign up to participate in (or lead) a Virtual Sh'ma Group.
