Commentary and Divrei Torah:
Yom HaZikaron 2022 / יוֹם הַזִּכָּרוֹן 5782
Israeli Memorial Day 🇮🇱
Yom HaZikaron for Hebrew Year 5782 begins at sundown on Tuesday, 3 May 2022 and ends at nightfall on Wednesday, 4 May 2022.
Israeli Memorial Day. Note that Hebcal displays modern holidays like Yom HaZikaron according to the Israeli schedule. Although Yom Hazikaron is normally observed on the 4th of Iyyar, it may be moved earlier or postponed if observance of the holiday (or Yom HaAtzma’ut, which always follows it) would conflict with Shabbat.
Yom HaAtzma’ut 2022 / יוֹם הָעַצְמָאוּת 5782
Israeli Independence Day 🇮🇱
Yom HaAtzma'ut for Hebrew Year 5782 begins at sundown on Wednesday, 4 May 2022 and ends at nightfall on Thursday, 5 May 2022.
Israeli Independence Day. Commemorates the declaration of independence of Israel in 1948. Note that Hebcal displays modern holidays like Yom HaAtzma’ut according to the Israeli schedule. Although Yom HaAtzma’ut is normally observed on the 5th of Iyyar, it may be moved earlier or postponed if observance of the holiday (or Yom HaZikaron, which always precedes it) would conflict with Shabbat.

Second Session Sunday, May 1, 2022 10:50 - 11:30 am PT
Hebrew school is in session at Temple Sholom of Ontario. We will hold classes virtually on Sundays starting at 10:00am PT. There will be two sessions, 40 minutes each, with a 10 minute break in between.
**This is a work-in-progress based on the status of the pandemic and as currently planned. We will alter the format and schedule based on updated information.
We have added a special Hebrew reading crash course for those students not adept in reading Hebrew. It will be from 9:20am to 9:50 am before the regular sessions.
The first session will focus on Hebrew reading and prayers. We will read from the week's Torah portion using a Chumash and an online site. Besides the main prayers used in our services, we will also learn Torah and Haftarah blessings.
The second session will be a general learning session of that weekly sedrah/portion. We will also discuss notable Jewish personalities, from celebrities to prophets and kings. There will also be special topics such as gossip and evolution.
Please let us know if you'd like to join us and of course if you have any questions. RSVP for Zoom links.
Temple Sholom of Ontario is proud to announce we are once again offering:

Eleventh Module: Chapter 13 – Love
Miller Intro to Judaism Program
If you're thinking of converting to Judaism: Completion of the Intro Program fulfills the learning requirements for conversion of the Rabbinical Assembly of America. Once you finish the course requirements and secure a sponsoring rabbi, you are eligible to become officially part of the Jewish People.
If you're already Jewish: Whether you were born Jewish but never quite learned what it’s all about, you’re back after a long hiatus, or you’re just looking for a deeper understanding of your heritage, most of us could use a bit of a refresher. Jews from all walks of life enroll in the program: from people who had a Jewish day school education to those whose strongest connection was the annual box of matza on the kitchen counter.
More details to follow. Please let us know if you're interested. Application is attached below or reply with request for more information
