Parashat Shemini<\/h4>\n

And Aaron was silent<\/em> (10:3)<\/p>\n

Because Aaron was silent, he was rewarded that G\u2011d spoke exclusively to him (Ordinarily G\u2011d spoke to Aaron only in conjunction with–or through\u2014Moses.)
\n(Midrash Rabbah)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Said Rav Papa: The merit of attending a house of mourning lies in the silence observed.
\n(Talmud, Berachot 6b)<\/strong><\/p>\n

In youth, one learns to talk; in maturity, one learns to be silent. This is man’s problem: that he learns to talk before he learns to be silent.
\n(Rabbi Nachman of Breslav)<\/strong><\/p>\n

2016 Maine Conference for Jewish Life!<\/span><\/h4>\n

Registration is on a roll!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a special price available to those who register early, but this opportunity to save on the conference ends March 31. Please register today to get a special deal!<\/p>\n

On June 17 – 19, 2016<\/strong>, at Colby College in Waterville, come enjoy Maine’s only state-wide Jewish conference. We offer superlative learning, speakers from near and far, good food, great socializing, and the opportunity to learn, play, and meet with Jews from all over our beautiful state.<\/p>\n

The schedule is up on the MCJL website! Though more information will continue to go up, you can see the many amazing offerings we’ll have — from a crash course in trope to ASL translation for prayer to the amazing power of kugel to a teens mocktail-making session, the MCJL offers a ton of varied opportunities for learning.<\/p>\n

This year, we’re featuring a special track of learning specifically to empower small congregations with the skills they might want or need — and have difficulty finding elsewhere. Learn how to run a successful synagogue garden, book group, and social justice committee; how to conduct a tahara; how to build a learning and praying community in the absence of clergy… and much more. Register today to reserve your spot!<\/p>\n

You can always find interesting updates on our Facebook page. If you have any questions regarding registration, the schedule, or other aspects of the MCJL, please don’t hesitate to be in touch!<\/p>\n
