We’re offering five weeks of entry-level / refresher lessons in Hebrew this fall. The class will be flexible, according to participants’ needs and interests. We’ll meet at PJC on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. from October 14 through November 18. Please call the office at 412-823-4338 or email us to register so that we can plan accordingly. Here is the song Shalom, from the musical “Milk and Honey” to remind you about the power of the Hebrew language.

Come to Parkway Jewish Center for beginners’ Israeli dance classes on the third Tuesday of each month. We have a terrific experienced teacher, Lynn Berman, for these classes. There is a small charge of $5 per student per class. Our classes are accompanied by an open band, so please invite your friends who want to come and play instruments. Click here for directions. If you want to bring your instrument and play with the band, contact Cantor Shapiro to get the music.
