If you’ll permit me…
a deviation from the norm. I just want to extend a written thank to Charlie Frohman and Neal Goldman. And you ask “why”? Well, for the past year they have been at Temple bringing you services via “Zoom”. Week in, week out, month in, month out. A simple thank you does not quite underscore the commitment these two congregants/board members have exhibited in these difficult times. Watching them at Friday night services with their coordinated approach to bringing Rabbi Matuson into your homes so that you can worship with the Rabbi is a Mitzvah to say the least. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

For everyone who has missed our weekly Yoga Shalom, and newcomers, too! Every Wednesday, at 10:30, Cantor Lisa Levine and our DVD teacher, have created a yoga practice just for us. It seemed pretty gentle but I was definitely warm at the end! You can use your mat or your chair. Elaine Bergstrom will be Zooming this practice. Please contact Elaine for the link. sumieb43@comcast.net
Cantor Lisa invites us to Zoom with her every Monday morning at 11 AM, Yoga Shalom at Home, a different Healing Energy Practice each week. Please contact cantorlisalevine@yahoo.com to get on her mailing list.

— BELLES (Beth El Literary Ladies Enjoying Sisterhood) Thurs, May 6 at 7:00 Karen Toker will lead our discussion of The Enchantress, by Maggie Anton. This novel is set in 3rd century Babylon and Palestine, the Talmudic period. Anton writes historical fiction about strong Jewish women, and here, weaves in well-researched Talmud and magic. And Karen does terrific research herself. Whether we have read the book or not, we will definitely learn a lot about our scholarly tradition. Please join us!
