On behalf of our Shalom Synagogue Village, we wish you a good and sweet New Year! G’mar chatimah tovah!
Explore our program offerings in September and beyond!
A new initiative offering programming to members of four neighborhood synagogues (The Community Synagogue, Port Jewish Center, Temple Beth Israel, and the Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore) ages 55 and above.
We are hoping these programs give you fun and exciting new ways to connect to your synagogue community. The Shalom Synagogue Village also provides the opportunity to meet and foster new relationships with members of other local synagogues, further deepening your connection to the synagogue community and the greater Port Washington area.
New programs are being added regularly. Please check with us.

Beyond the Career: Women Creating What’s Next
Back this Fall: October 7 – December 18
What comes after a successful career? Beyond the Career is a small, peer-led discussion group for women over 55+ who are exploring what they want the next chapter of their lives to look like – with greater intention, connection, and possibility. Whether you’re considering a career transition, newly retired, or already well into your next chapter, the group offers a welcoming space to reflect, share experiences, discover new ideas, and take meaningful steps toward what comes next.
This fall, we’ll continue our conversations around identity, purpose, health, relationships, giving back, joy, and reinvention through open dialogue, shared resources, and personal discovery.
And, back by popular demand, We’ll once again welcome special guest speakers to lead conversations on topics especially relevant to this stage of life, including financial well-being and spirituality.
Who It’s For
Women 55+ who are:
• Considering retirement or career transition
• Newly retired and looking for connection and community
• Interested in exploring new interests, purpose, and possibilities
• Eager to create a meaningful and vibrant next chapter
