My dear Lev Eisha Sisters,
L’Shanah Tovah – A sweet and healthy New Year to all our friends at Lev Eisha and their families.
What will this new year look like for Lev Eisha?
Although we are still on Zoom for September, we are hoping to be together – face to face, if we can, in October. Our safety is our primary concern as we explore our options. Life is so uncertain and all of us have been coping and thriving in our own ways.
Our Sept 4th our Lev Eisha service will be a time to soulfully prepare for Rosh Hashanah. Our inspired teachings and uplifting music will lead to reflection, openness and joy. Looking forward to sharing time with each other at our service and break out sessions.
With blessings for safety and health,
Rabbi Toba August
JOIN US ON ZOOM!

Dear Lev Members and Friends,
Shana tova u'metukah! Please join our Lev Eisha community for another virtual service on September 4, 2021. We are working with Beth Shir Shalom to continue in-person services in the near future. Our community’s safety is our priority.
Last year was incredible despite the challenges. Rabbi August and Cindy provided the spiritual nurturing we crave, albeit in our homes. Thank you for your generous donations last year. Please remember Lev Eisha as you wish to honor loved ones and life events. We appreciate the membership renewals and additional donations. Thank you! Also consider a gift membership to Lev Eisha, as the perfect and meaningful gesture for that special somebody in your life.
Check the website for updates and to view past events. leveisha.org We have a new phone number where you may leave a voice message with questions or comments. We will do our best to get back to you within a couple of days. The new number: 424-209-7598.
B’shalom v’ahava,
Carolyn Wispe Burns
President, Lev Eisha
