There are a number of social groups within Temple Solel.
We encourage you to explore and find out more about the one that is appropriate for you.

Rosh Chodesh - A Women's Group

Rosh Chodesh has historically been celebrated by women as a time to come together and explore and discuss relevant matters at the start of the new moon. Rosh Chodesh is literally translated as “head of the month,” and has existed as a women’s holiday. Spend an evening with women of Solel. We will meet once a month for a dairy potluck dinner and discussion, as we reflect the interests, personalities and passions of the women involved. For more information contact Marilyn Carson at roshchodesh@templesolel.org.

Small Groups - Solel Circles

Small groups of temple members who share common interests. They meet monthly in each other’s homes or go out for social and cultural events. Being a member of a Solel Circle helps congregants feel connected to the larger temple family by building relationships. For additional information, please contact membership@templesolel.org.

Young Adults of Solel (YAS!) - 20s&30s

For members in their 20s and 30s looking to be more actively engaged in the Jewish community and traditional programming. YAS! is a social group to do fun things in the community and celebrate Jewish holidays by meeting people your own age and building relationships. To get involved, contact jjohnson@templesolel.org.
