What Is It?
gatherings are small group conversations and experiences to build relationships and deepen connections within our congregation.
gatherings provide opportunities for STKA members to create, engage in, and explore new relationships by participating in small group conversations and experiences around common interests.
Topics may include architecture, Jewish biographies, sports, Jewish thought, global warming and movies with a Jewish theme to list a few.
Please email Rochelle with registration questions.
Who Can Participate & What Will It Look Like?
gatherings are available for adults in groups of 5-15 members. There may be some offerings available for families/kids.
A group member will facilitate the conversation or experience.
Meetings may be either in-person or over Zoom.
History
The first pilot gatherings were created by congregants Elissa Katz & Lori Rosenberg along with STKA’s J.B. Davis and with input from Temple members. We also spoke to other synagogues across the U.S. doing similar programming. Today, gatherings is co-chaired by Susan Gordon Merdler and Ellyn Ross.
Upcoming gatherings:
Hike & Kibitz
Our community is filled with beautiful parks, easy trails and walking paths. We’ll visit both fan favorite locations and explore some lesser-known areas. Of course, the conversation and connections will be amazing as well.
