Dear Friends,
We have a big weekend ahead.
Our Shabbat Evening Service (7:30 PM) is a triple header: its Volunteer Shabbat, Social Justice Shabbat, and Shabbat Shirah. The music will be extra special (with guest musicians), and we honor all those who give of their time and skills to keep our congregation going.
In honor of the approaching new year of trees, at our Shabbat Morning Torah Study (10:00 AM) we will host our annual Seder Tu Bishvat, a delightful hour-long celebration of the land of Israel and the cycle of the seasons. I have a new "Trees of the Bible" quiz all ready, to supplement the array of fruits and juices and nature songs.
Tu Bishvat will also be creatively celebrated during school on Sunday (when we also tally our "souper-bowl" collection), and at our Tot Program that morning.
The debut of our new bi-monthly Adas Emuno Film Club takes place via zoom on Monday (7:30 PM). We're going to talk about the Netflix hit "Nobody Wants This". Since it involves a young rabbi, I volunteered to lead the discussion!
Shabbat shalom,
Rabbi Schwartz
Religious School Director
