If you are attending the Memorial Service at the New Center Cemetery this Sunday, you may notice the damage that was sustained by Hurricane Irma. we have worked hard during the past weeks to repair and remove as much debris as possible. However, there are still areas that need to be restored. We thank you for your understanding and we assure you that in the coming weeks between and after the Holy Days we will continue our work. Thank you for your patience.

This Weeks Shabbat Sermon: 
NEW YEAR, OLD STORY: FROM GEDALIAH BEN AHIKAM TO YITZHAK RABIN

The Fast of Gedaliah is a minor fast that falls the day after Rosh Hashanah.  It commemorates the assassination in 582 B.C.E. of the Jewish, Babylonian-appointed governor of Israel, Gedaliah ben A h ikam ,  by a fellow Jew.  As a result of Gedaliah's death, the last vestiges of Jewish autonomy after the Babylonian conquest were destroyed; thousands of Jews were slain; and many of the remaining Jews in Judea were driven into exile.  While this may seem like ancient history, it has only been 22 years since the assassination of another Jewish leader by a fellow Jew.  Join Rabbi Lubliner as he explores the road from Gedaliah to Yitz h ak Rabin of blessed memory.
