Kabbalat Shabbat, Portraits of Homelessness
Through stunning photography and special speakers, we have the opportunity to learn more about the strength and frailty of Cleveland’s homeless community.
“When you see the expression on a person’s face; hear the inflection in a person’s voice; work with a person who is homeless and know their strengths, begin to know their challenges — you pick up on the individual. These are individuals with concerns and hopes like yours and mine,” says photographer Rev. Lydia Bailey, Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry Men’s Shelter staff member and creator of the collection of portraits that will soon be on exhibit at Fairmount Temple. “It’s gratifying to have recorded the stories and photographs of these individuals who feel largely invisible; who feel loss living in a shelter and on the street.”
- Friday, April 12, Kabbalat Shabbat, 6:15 p.m.
Love your Neighbor as Yourself - Come hear guest speakers from the Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry Men’s Shelter share their personal experiences of homelessness in Cleveland. Following the service, everyone is invited to view the Portraits of Homelessness exhibit on display in the Religious School Commons.

"A masterpiece. The Spiritual Child is an outstanding blend of science, psychology, and spirituality... This easy-to-read book changes the landscape on raising children to be happy, healthy, and flourishing." -Andrew Newberg, M.D., author of How God Changes Your Brain
Cantor Sarah Sager and Jane Mayers, director of our Early Childhood Center, will co-lead an exploration of Dr. Lisa Miller’s The Spiritual Child. In this thought-provoking book, the psychologist emphasizes the science and power of spirituality and the data demonstrating that children who have a positive, active relationship to spirituality have significantly more positive markers for thriving including an in-creased sense of meaning and purpose, and high levels of academic success. Dr. Miller gives us a new way to think about parenting our modern youth.
