We explored texturing techniques and used them to create polymer clay hamsas. We also explored the rich history and traditions of the hamsa.
Sign up online at here.

-------
Learn new techniques and explore your creative side as we return for our Festival Art Series led by award-winning artists. In past years, we created Judaic-themed projects including wire and bead “Trees of Life” during Sukkot with Hannah Anbar; paintings celebrating Sukkot and Hanukkah with Keri Goldsmid; Miriam’s and Elijah’s Cups for Pesah, Mezuzah covers, Yads, and Tallit clips with Varda Lev-Ram; crafted books and painted silk with Jacqueline Jacobs; glass Hamsas with Ilanit Shalev; and, folded and sewn books to capture our stories with Visiting Artist Joanne Steinhardt. This year we will create with these artists and/or others working with polymer clay, acrylics, fabric painting, and more.
KNIT 'N' NOSH
Mah JonGG
Did you know it was Mah Jongg that led to Beth El’s founding when a group of dedicated women got together in Clairemont in 1956 to play—and that led to starting a Hebrew school and a Shul in 1957? The 60+ year tradition continues with weekly games and camaraderie. Players must be vaccinated and have masks. Coordinators are Ronni Zeidman and Betty Hoffman.
BETH EL MOMS' CHAT
understanding conservative judaism
Rabbi Shulman and Rabbi Libman
Our mission reads: “Congregation Beth El is a Conservative synagogue whose mission is to create a home for every soul by offering a variety of Jewish experiences to nourish the mind, heart, and spirit, while being a caring Jewish community.” What does it mean to be a Conservative synagogue in 2022? What is distinctive about our style of synagogue practice and celebration? What does it mean to be part of a world-wide movement right here in La Jolla? What are we “conserving” and how are we adapting? Let’s explore answers to these questions and learn more about the important work of Conservative Judaism.
This program for our entire community is sponsored by Women’s Connection and the Torah Fund Campaign of Women’s League for Conservative Judaism in support of perpetuating Conservative/Masorti Judaism around the world through the training of Jewish clergy and professionals.
