What's Happening

HEAConnect Groups are regular, virtual (due to the pandemic) gatherings of five to fifteen members. While the hope is that someday we can meet in livingrooms and at kitchen tables, we can still promote relationship building among our members through Zoom. The groups are led by HEAConnect Group Leaders.

Some HEAConnect Groups will connect around common interests and affinities. Other groups will gather to discuss topics of deep concern or importance to their lives. All will engage in meaningful conversations and learning through curriculum provided by HEA. Click HERE to sign up for one of the groups starting in just a week or so.

Visit Cohen's Cuisine online and check out their menus for Shabbat. Order by Tuesday and pick up at the HEA upper-level traffic circle on Friday!

The format for the classes will be very interactive with Tammy bringing a bit of education or text, sharing her experience and facilitating thoughtful discussion among participants about their own 'ownership' of their Jewish life (individually/family, communally and educationally). Register for each session:
