If you’re anything like me, juggling numerous calendars, I sometimes realize that I’ve double-booked myself, missed something entirely or can’t remember which day it is!
For those with kids in school, the summer is almost over! Public schools in our area begin in the next two weeks, and the school-year scramble begins.
For those whose lives are not involved with schools, it’s mid-summer, with plenty of time for hot-weather fun.
For those who follow the calendar of Torah readings, we’re in the last book of Torah, Deuteronomy, reading Va-Etchanan this Shabbat, where Moses pleads with the people to follow God’s laws, and repeats the Sh’ma and the 10 Commandments.
For those who follow the Jewish calendar, the month of Elul begins August 27, with opportunities for High Holy Day preparation and reflection. While the High Holy Days may feel ‘late’ this year, of course, they are actually right on time.
Why mention all of this? At Beth Emet, the staff is also juggling, (also known as preparing, planning, scheduling, hiring, organizing and so much more!) and hope you’ll join us as we move into the next season.
Beit Sefer, Beth Emet's Religious School, begins on Sunday September 11, and we’re gearing up for an exciting year. Register with your personal link that was emailed on July 11, or contact
Geoff Prass for further assistance. We are still seeking several Beit Sefer Hebrew and Judaica teachers, as well as a fabulous Director of Youth Engagement. Do you know someone? Please contact
Marci Dickman.
And last but not least, tomorrow we welcome Shabbat. Every week. Take a deep breath and relax. No calendar, no schedule, no rushing around. Please join us for worship and friendship.
Shabbat Shalom,
Kathy Kaberon
Director of Young Family Engagement
