Threads of Tradition is a group of Jewish women who sew tachrichim for our community members. Tachrichim are traditional Jewish burial garments made of pure cotton sheeting. They consist of pants, a long shirt, and a head and face covering. Doing this work is our way to provide dignity to the deceased and comfort for those who mourn. It helps us fulfill the mitzvah of chesed shel emet—the greatest kindness, the type that cannot be repaid.Sewing burial garments is a concrete way we can care for those in our community at this important time in the lifecycle. Taking on this work ourselves instead of delegating it to professionals demonstrates the value of participation by lay members in maintaining Jewish traditions and mitzvot.Threads of Tradition meets three or four times a year, or as needed to maintain a supply of garments.For more information visit www.threadsoftradition.org |

Jewish Families Group The Jewish Families Group, which is connected with Congregation Beth David, is open to all Jewish families in the greater Silicon Valley. The group started when several congregants just had babies and several more were pregnant. Those babies are now toddlers and young children, and more babies are on the way. Community-wide, we found others wanting to join the group, some with babies, some with slightly older children. The purpose of the group is to allow Jewish families expecting babies or with babies and/or young children, to meet each other. It is all volunteer-run.If you would like to volunteer to run an event or to be added to (or removed from) our email list, just let us know. All are welcome http://groups.google.com/group/jewishfamiliesgroup |
| Havurah A havurah is a small community of congregants with similar interests, often at the same stage of life. Havurot can be formed of families, couples, or individuals. The purpose of a havurah is to complement the social, religious, and education activities offered by the synagogue in a comfortable group setting. Each havurah selects its own activities, often one a month. If you would like a smaller circle of friends within the larger Beth David community consider joining a havurah. New havurot are formed on an ongoing basis.For more information contact drop us an email. |
