STORIES WE TELL

Rabbi Phyllis is the featured storyteller on this week's Stories We Tell podcast! When things go in a direction we might not expect, is it thanks to fate or simply coincidence? Check out "The Fate of the Flour Woman" here.

HEALING & HOPE PLAYLIST

From the Am Shalom Sound Sanctuary, a playlist of some of our congregation's favorite songs of healing and hope. 

Most of these songs and prayers can also be streamed on our albums at soundcloud.com/am-shalom/albums AND can be downloaded for FREE through March 31 via https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/musicatamshalom AND https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/MusicatAmShalom.

BE ONE OF THE HELPERS

Many of our congregants have asked how they can help others in our community. We are hoping to create a cadre of helpers, who can be activated if and when they're needed. Want to add your name to the list? Fill out this form.
