Congregation Darchei Noam

Join us for a special Refugee Shabbat at Congregation Darchei Noam as we celebrate ten years of welcome, friendship, and community. Together, we will honour the family we welcomed a decade ago and recognize the many members and friends whose compassion and commitment helped refugee families build new lives in Canada. The morning will include an inspiring D’var Torah, a group Aliyah recognizing those who contributed to these efforts, and a joyful service, followed by Kiddush lunch and a special program with reflections on the journey from arrival to belonging. We look forward to marking this meaningful milestone together. Register Here

Synaplex Shabbat 📅 Saturday, March 7 | 🕙 10:00 AM |📍Multiple locations at Darchei Noam We will begin together at 10:00 AM with introductory prayers, setting the stage for a meaningful and transformative morning. Then, as we arrive at the Torah service, you get to choose from three meaningful opportunities to experience Torah—each offering a unique lens into Jewish tradition, spirituality, and learning. Synaplex Shabbat – Choose Your Experience This Shabbat morning, our community will gather for Synaplex Shabbat, offering multiple ways to pray, learn, and connect. Select the experience that speaks to you: Option 1: Learners Minyan – Sanctuary Hear the full Torah reading and dive deeper into Torah rituals with Rob Silver and Reb Aaron Rotenberg. This service is ideal for those who want a meaningful, guided exploration of the structure and liturgy of the traditional service. Option 2: Ark Adventures – Social Hall Adults are invited to join our youngest cohort for a lively musical retelling of the parsha. Experience Torah through song, storytelling, and movement in a warm, intergenerational setting. Option 3: Discussion Group – Library Participate in a discussion facilitated by Rabbi Tina Grimberg about choosing Jewish identity through conversion. This conversation will explore personal journeys, communal belonging, and evolving identity. Please register here for Synaplex Shabbat. We are committed to providing accessible and inclusive events. If you require an accommodation to fully participate, please contact Claire Levy-Boker at claire@darcheinoam.ca by Monday, March 2.

Pins and Needles is reaching out to let you know that we are always very happy to welcome new members to our group. This month, we will meet on Tuesday, January 6, in the shul library from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. and on Zoom on the third Tuesday of the month (December 20th). We knit, crochet, and socialize. We would love to have other crafters join us to showcase their work and share tips and stories. We would also like to inform you that we are currently in need of yarn donations. Especially helpful are donations of blanket-weight yarn and multiple balls of the same weight or colour. If you’re doing some spring cleaning and have yarn you’re no longer using, we’d be grateful if you’d consider donating it to us. Please contact nancy@kosiner.com if you have any questions.
