In this session, "Uvacharta Bachayim – How do I Live this Life?", we will explore the special Yom Kippur Torah portion called Nitzavim (not "Nitzanim") in which we are told to "choose life". How is choosing life different from just plain old living?
All families are invited to the Ner Shalom Family Service at 9:30am. Nitzanim-enrolled young people K-8 will continue from 10:30-11:45 with Janet Rae and Susie, while their parents can stay at the primary service.
The Ner Shalom Nitzanim Program is a rich and exciting offering for young people, K-8, and their families. It is an opportunity for the whole family to deepen in Jewish experience and learning through song, prayer, nature, art, story, movement, text and discussion. Together our young people will blossom and draw sustenance from Judaism’s deep, deep roots.

In the second half of the year, we will be collaborating with the B'Hootz Program of the Wilderness Torah Center for Earth-Based Judaism. The list price for participation in B'Hootz is $800 per child. However, Nitzanim families who purchase a Season Subscription or a Six-Pack, are eligible for the price of $600 – a 25% discount! If that is still prohibitive, Wilderness Torah has significant scholarships available. Enrollment for B'Hootz will open at the end of September.
