Jewish Day Camp-July 12, 2019

The final date for adult Jewish day camp registration is July 12.  In this Google Form you will find that there are some new offerings and that we have dropped a couple of courses.  The first two questionnaires were surveys, this form is a registration.  Please everybody fill out the questions (again). 
 
I still can’t tell you the price for this day as I don’t know how many of you there are but I figure it will be around 250 pesos for the day including all three meals.  This is an approximation!  You can pay at the door as you walk in as by that time I should know how much it costs!  The food choices in the previous surveys were to be a vote, not a choice.  Except for those that requested vegan/kosher meals, the rest of us will enjoy a great chicken Sabbath meal. 
 
I am so pleased with the “staff” of people who volunteered to help and to teach.  As time went along, I found the workshops to be more and more interesting.
I hope you agree with me.

A little bit of information about Rabbi Arian who will be participating in Jewish Day Camp

“Rabbi Charles Arian is the rabbi of Kehilat Shalom, a Conservative synagogue in Montgomery Village, MD (a suburb of Washington, DC. In his 33 year rabbinic career he has also served as a Hillel rabbi, a think tank scholar, and spent a year living in a Trappist Monastery in Northern California. While serving in a non-pulpit position from 2001 – 2005, he was also the High Holiday Rabbi for the Nassau Jewish Congregation in the Bahamas. Rabbi Arian and his wife Keleigh (pronounced like “Kelly”) visited Ajijic in 2017, and during their visit he spoke at a Friday night service. The Arians have spent time in many different parts of Mexico and are looking at Ajijic as a possible retirement location.”

Rabbi Arian will be offering a session at the Jewish Day Camp.  In the  session  the structure and themes of one of the central sections of the prayerbook and what this hidden structure is trying to teach us will be discussed.  This section will help you understand both evening and morning services better.
