Our theme for this year: Kehillah and Connections.
[It would be great to have a graphic banner to use here]
Two years ago our theme was Kavanah – thoughtful intention. This is aiming and setting your intention to understand the complexity and depth of challenges and therefore approaching the world with intellect, kindness and compassion. As a community, and individually, we will explore ourselves inside and outside of our community and strengthen the connections to each element of life. By embracing Kehillah and Connections and creating a warm and welcoming community with Kavanah, Folkshul embraces the interconnected-ness of Jewish values and traditions to ourselves in today’s world.
