This has certainly been a turbulent time. Just as we were hoping to turn a corner on the Coronavirus situation, our country has been rocked by racial injustice and protests. You may be feeling angry, uneasy, frustrated, and perhaps frightened. On behalf of the board, staff, and Caring Connections Committee, we want you to know we are thinking about you and your well-being in these unsettling days. As always, we and our clergy are available to talk to you; please feel free to call us. If you'd like to talk to a Social Worker, contact Nina Reinis at 310-600-5722. Please stay safe, reach out to one another, and let us know how you are doing.

Synagogue doors were not open for Shavuot so we did not read the Book of Ruth together. But member Sherri Morr calls our attention to this moving interpretation of the story of Ruth, which is especially poignant for those looking to avoid loneliness during this trying time.

Hello, my name is Lora Jerugim. When I first joined Angel City Chorale in 1994, there were just 25 of us. We are now a diverse community of 180 joyful and talented singers who perform worldwide. My story follows, but first, please enjoy our video performance of Sogno di Volare. I hope you find it uplifting.
