Dear Shul Mishpacha,
This week we had the honor of hosting a visit to our shul by the entire Milton Public School Leadership Team - school principals and lead administrators. See attached photo and note below from Mary Gormley.
Two salient sayings from our tradition:
"Hospitality matters more than greeting the Divine Presence." (Talmud)
"Revere your teacher as you would heaven." (Pirkei Avot / The Sayings of the Sages)
Shabbat Shalom, RabbiB
Rabbi,
On behalf of our Milton Public School Leadership Team, I want to thank you for yesterday's insightful tour of the Congregation Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills' new synagogue.
It is magnificent.
Our educational leaders were moved by the architecture, history, beauty, use of windows and light and religious significance of every feature in the building.
Again, thank you.
Mary C. Gormley
Superintendent of Schools
 Israel Update
Our Voices Need To Be Heard
I know you love Israel like I do, but that means some work/effort is needed to show how important we feel it is for Israel to be a home for all Jews. Please join me in supporting the "Make Your Voice Heard" campaign.
The Prime Minister and others in the Israeli government must hear from us NOW to help ensure that Israel remains a democratic, open, pluralistic society where religious freedom is guaranteed, and that includes implementing the Kotel agreement.
A Thoughtful Conservative Voice Will Be In Town
Bret Stephens, commentator at the Wall Street Journal, will offer his post election analysis of "What's in Store Now for Israel".
Nov. 10, 7:30- 9:00pm
Temple Emanuel
385 Ward Street,
Newton
Todah and please feel free or compelled to spread to word! Shalom, RabbiB
