Interfaith Vigil - Orlando Tragedy - Thursday
A Message from Rabbi Bearman: The Jewish tradition teaches us that in the face of heartbreak and grief, the first thing that we should do is to come together. Please join Rabbi Bearman at an Interfaith Vigil,
Thursday, June 16th at 7 pm at the Norwalk City Hall, which will honor those who were killed in Orlando this past Sunday. The Interfaith Vigil will support the LGBTQ community, share thoughts and prayers for those who were killed, and support every community impacted by violence and hatred. The goal of this event is to foster love and support for every community in attendance. (For more information,
please click here)
Additionally,
please join us this Friday evening for Shabbat services. We will come together as a
Kehillah Kedoshah (a holy community) and link our voices in prayers for healing, strength, and remembrance.

Rabbi Bearman's Prayer
God - There's so much in my mind and my heart right now that it's hard for me to figure out exactly what to say. I wish that I was a poet because then I could find the words that would release some of the sickness, fear, and sadness that are weighing down my spirit.
