Join the Jewish Federation of Dutchess County and Jewish Family Services for a presentation on New Beginnings and the Jewish Calendar. 

Wednesday, January 14th

At Temple Beth-El in the Social Hall
118 S. Grand Avenue in Poughkeepsie

Presented by Rabbi Jeff Stambaugh, Senior Rabbi at Vassar Temple. The Jewish calendar is a beautiful, cyclical guide to living with intention. It carries us through spiritual highs and lows, offering festivals that lift us up and moments that invite us to sit gently with what it means to be human - always grounded in community. During our time together, we'll explore the holidays you know and love, along with others that may be less familiar, to understand the full sweep of how Judaism marks sacred time. Together, we'll consider how these rhythms can shape our own lives with meaning and purpse. Looking forward to learning with you all as we begin 2026 with curiosity, reflection, and renewed intention!
