City Shul Book Club

City Shul Reads meets about every two months.

Books fall into three general categories - Judaism, Israel and Jewish identity.

Members choose books based on suggestions from fellow readers as well as by looking at relevant lists such as Moment magazine's book project, Five Books To Be An Educated Jew, and the annual Vine Awards which honour the best Canadian Jewish writing in Fiction, History, and Non-Fiction.

Shabbat Shuvah Singing Circle
Shabbat, Sep 27th 4:30p to 6:00p
The Shabbat between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is an especially spiritual time. Explore how the Rabbis viewed these 10 Days of Repentance through study of the midrash, followed by a session on how high holiday music guides and affects our experience, and conclude with a special guided meditation experience to set a meaningful intention for Yom Kippur. This special Shabbat event ends with Kaddish and brunch. The Shabbat between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Shabbat Shuvah) is a time for reflection upon experiences of the year that has passed. We will gather to mark the end of Shabbat Shuvah, and to reflect upon the anniversary of October 7 with song and prayer, and an opportunity to share our feelings of mourning, grief and peace in a safe, non-confrontational environment.
