Tonight at 7:00 p.m. Shabbat Service
Tomorrow Morning at 9:30 a.m.
The first of
Once-a-Month
I was asked to speak at November's Board of Trustees' meeting on the topic of how to pay your shiva call (and how to overcome your own sense of awkwardness and discomfort).
Based on that presentation, at the /December meeting of the
Ritual Committee
, it was suggested that I do a monthly "How to______" practicum, instead of a sermon.
So, on
tomorrow morning, January 6
, I will talk about and show the proper way to
- Have an Aliyah.
- Carry the Torah
- Do Hagbahah (lift the Torah)
- Do Gelilah (wrap the Torah)
I am also
soliciting suggestions for topics
for subsequent months; I'd love to hear from you! (And the guess I'll also take suggestions for sermon topics...but don't be surprised if I turn the tables on you, and ask you to make the presentation!
Tomorrow Afternoon-the days are getting longer / later!!-at 4:15 p.m
Mincha / S'uda Shlishit / Ma'ariv & Havdalah
and during the S'uda will read an article from the latest issue of Foreign Policy Magazine about the increasingly limited clout and options of the Palestinians:
Mahmoud Abbas Doesn't Have a Trump Strategy
THANK YOU
In my absence, last week, my thanks to:
- Cantor Paul Zim for filling in all the gaps
- Regina Friedman and Evelyn Baer for handing out the honors
- Dr. Alan Stern for the Torah and Haftarah introductions
- Sally Seymour for delivering the D'var Torah
- Jeff Adler for handling the weeknight minyanim-and to all who attended our services, especially at the shiva!
Shiva Minyanim This Coming Week
The official e-mail and phone message will be sent out tomorrow night, but, as unbelievable and as shocking as it is, Murray Feit's father passed away in California on Thursday evening, just hours after they got from shiva for his mother.
So, beginning on Monday evening, we will be moving all our minyanim, except for Shabbat, to his and Margalit's home, through next Sunday morning.
(All times will remain the same as when minyan is held in shul).
Please come to support Murray and sustain our minyan.
