    Mitzvah Mall 2020

    Hello All!

    Gift shopping online is quick, sometimes easy and these days, safe.  But it's not necessarily as much fun as meeting a friend at a real, live mall.  Well, Adas Emuno has put the fun back into online shopping!  Please join us on Zoom, on Sunday, December 6th at 9 am as we host our 5th Mitzvah Mall.  Listen to our guests explain how their organizations help the world and watch their videos. Then go shopping from the comfort of your home. Buy [print out]  cards to show that you gave a donations to these organizations in honor of the recipients of your cards. Great gifts! Special gifts! The sort of gifts which keep on giving!

    So, please plan to meet your friends at the Mitzvah Mall! Look for future emails with additional info and your Zoom invite.

    Tikkun Olam-ingly yours,
    The School and Social Action Committees

      With the Holidays now behind us we settle into our normal routine in abnormal times: Shabbat evening services, Shabbat morning Torah study and Sunday morning religious school...but all remotely.

        After our Livestream Shabbat Evening Service (7:30 PM) I'll discuss one of the surprising ecological teachings of the Torah's first portion at our Zoom Oneg Shabbat (8:15 PM)

        At our Zoom Shabbat Morning Torah Study (10:00 AM) we'll raise some questions about what the Creation story has to tell us about the differing standards applied to men and women.

        I'd also like to cordially invite you to a Zoom Jewish Publication Society webinar that I am hosting and participating in next week on Wed. eve Oct. 21 (7:30 PM) with two dynamic Reform Rabbi colleagues on Abraham's Astonishing Legacy. Simply email office@jps.org for your invitation which will also supply you with a 40% discount on any JPS book on our website www.jps.org.  

    Shabbat shalom,

    Dear Friends,
       So we come to the final holiday of the new Jewish year, as we celebrate at our Zoom Shabbat/Simchat Torah Family Service (7:30 PM), for all ages!
       Please note the special link in this week’s email to members.
       Yes, we will still read from the end of the Torah and the beginning of the Torah, and yes, we will all be called up (by birthday months) for the blessing of the Torah- all while we see each other. Yes, it may be a touch chaotic, but it will be happy chaos!
         
         At our Zoom Shabbat Morning Torah Study (10:00 AM) we'll take a final look at Moses through his last words in the last portion of the Torah.

         For those who have been asking about copies of my sermons, see the news items below.
         And a reminder to kindly return your Holiday prayer books to the bin on our school porch.

    Shabbat shalom and Hag Sameach,
    Rabbi Schwartz
