 Unique Shabbat Experiences |

Outdoor Qabbalat Shabbat Begins This Friday
This Friday, June 23 at 6:00 p.m.
This Friday
we will breath in Shabbat with fresh air, moving our service outside to our garden, under the open sky. Just as we learned last year, summertime is the perfect season to view Qabbalat Shabbat as a "spiritual laboratory," and we invite you to join us as we experience an invigorating, musical, joyful, and refreshing start to the weekend.

Join a 10 day Israel trip of a lifetime and March 1-11, 2018!
Imagine walking through the streets of Jerusalem, using the writings of Jerusalem's poets and authors, such as Yehuda Amichai, S.Y. Agnon to guide our perspectives. Imagine studying about Isaiah, Jeremiah and Heschel as a prism to Social Justice and a Vision for a Redeemed Society with Israel as the backdrop. Imagine eating culinary delights every day at interesting restaurants and markets. Imagine waking up and getting to do it again the next day.
You don't need to imagine. You just need to sign up for this magical adventure in Israel!
Check out the tour details here.

Honor the memory of a loved one by dedicating a memorial plaque in his or her memory. The Alice G. Winn Memorial Menorah is located along the rear wall of the Sanctuary, and these memorial plaques are made from glass and hung once a year during the summer. The Harry N. and Estelle S. Gorin Memorial Alcove surrounds one of the entrance doors to the Sanctuary, and these plaques are made from bronze and can be hung all year round.
Once a plaque is ordered, Temple Israel will perpetually read the name of the deceased during Shabbat services on the anniversary of death. Family members will receive notification of this date in advance of the yahrzeit. All names on plaques are included in the annual Yom Kippur Book of Remembrance distributed to the congregation on Yom Kippur. A contribution of $650 to the Temple Israel Endowment Fund will secure a plaque in either the Alcove or on the Menorah. Please contact Sue Misselbeck for more information. |
Last Tuesday of every month, 12:00 - 1:00 p.m.
All book lovers are welcome to come, bring a bag lunch, and join the conversation. Coffee, tea, and dessert will be available. On June 27, we will discuss the memoir, Dough, by Mort Zachter. For more information and to RSVP, please contact Ann Abrams, Librarian. |
