Shabbat HaChodesh 2022 / שַׁבָּת הַחֹדֶשׁ 5782
Shabbat before Rosh Chodesh Nissan 🕍
Shabbat HaChodesh for Hebrew Year 5782 begins at sundown on Friday, 1 April 2022 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, 2 April 2022. This corresponds to Parashat Tazria.
Shabbat HaChodesh ("Sabbath [of the] month" שבת החודש) precedes the first of the Hebrew month of Nisan during which Passover is celebrated. Exodus 12:1-20 and the laws of Passover. On the first day of Nisan, G-d presented the first commandment of how to "sanctify the new moon" (kiddush hachodesh) for the onset of Rosh Chodesh and thus Nisan becomes the first month of the Jewish year (counting by months.).

Children's Reading Class Sunday, April 3, 2022 9:20 - 9:50 am PT
First Session Sunday, April 3, 2022 10:00 - 10:40 am PT
Second Session Sunday, April 3, 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:

Tenth Module: Chapter 10 – High Holy Days
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
Pesach 2022 / פֶּסַח 5782
Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread 🫓🍷
Pesach for Hebrew Year 5782 begins in the Diaspora at sundown on Friday, 15 April 2022 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, 23 April 2022.
Passover (Hebrew: פֶּסַח Pesach) commemorates the story of the Exodus, in which the ancient Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt. Passover begins on the 15th day of the month of Nisan in the Jewish calendar, which is in spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and is celebrated for seven or eight days. It is one of the most widely observed Jewish holidays.
Continuing Adult Hebrew Reading Course

People have been asking for more practice in Hebrew Reading. We are planning a Hebrew reading course that will help you understand the prayers as well
