We are excited to invite you to our next Ohev Forward conversation hub, which will be on programming for adults on Thursday September 15 at 8:30 pm!

The session will be community led and build off of Ohev Forward's findings to help better understand community desires and buy-in for adult programming. This will inform synagogue planning for the coming year as well as conversations with potential rabbinic and professional staff. 

We are considering offering both an in-person and zoom option for people - the sessions will be separate, not hybrid - and ask that people sign up here so we can gauge interest and numbers to ensure we have sufficient moderators for both types of sessions. 

After our previous great discussion on youth programming and community building and healing we are very excited for this conversation.

We hope to see many of you there in three weeks!
