Jewish Journeys

This past weekend, we had a pawsitively amazing time celebrating the Blessing of the Animals in honor of Parshat Noach! Just like Noah saved all the animals by bringing them onto the ark, we gathered with our furry, feathered, and even scaly friends to recognize the special role animals play in our lives.

In Judaism, animals are more than pets—they're part of God's creation, and the Torah teaches us to care for them with kindness. From playful pups to curious cats, every creature received a blessing, reminding us of the love and joy they bring. It was a heartwarming event that left tails wagging and spirits lifted!

Be sure to check out the adorable photos from the event posted below! We’d also love to feature your own photos from Jewish community events on our synagogue’s TV displays. Send in your favorite snapshots, and let's keep sharing the joy of our vibrant community!
