Shabbat Announcement and Important Notice about Shabat Morning Services

/in , /by
Dear Congregants and friends,
Please join us this Friday night, April 27 at 7pm, as we usher in shabbat with song and prayer at our weekly services. 
This Saturday morning, April 28, please join us again for Saturday morning minyan at 9am, with the Torah service at 9:45.  We would like to gratefully thank Gregg and Michelle Philipson for sponsoring the kidush in honor of Miriam Margulis’ birthday.
Cantor Ben-Moshe’s Weekly message:

I am writing these words on Yom Ha’Atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day-surely the most momentous day in Jewish history in thousands of years. 64 years ago, the long nightmare of exile ended with the establishment of the State of Israel. Hebrew is once again our national language, and we have a place to call home, no matter what happens in the various lands of our dispersion. HaTikvah bat sh’not alpayyim-the 2000-year-old Hope-has come true in our days. May we soon see the days when all the dispersed and exiles of the People of Israel return home.
Please join us this Shabbat at 7PM Friday night, and at 9AM Saturday morning, when we read the parshot Tazria-Metzora and celebrate Miriam Margulis’ birthday. 
Hag Sameah and Shabbat Shalom.
Cantor Yitzhak Ben-Moshe
Please note!

 Shabbat morning services are now every 2nd and 4th Saturday.  The Google Calendar will be updated shortly.

Announcements for the End of Passover

/in , /by

On Thursday night, we begin the concluding days of Pesah, the Season of our Liberation. Friday’s Torah reading is the dramatic tale of the Crossing of the Sea of Reeds, usually identified as the Great Bitter Lake on the border of the Sinai Peninsula. Worthy of note is the aggadah, the Rabbinic legend, that the Sea did not split when Moses raised his staff pver the water. According to the legend, God performed the miracle only when one man, Nahshon ben ‘Amminadav, was brave enough to wade into the water. God does indeed provide for us-but we need to meet Him halfway. I hope to see everyone Friday night at 7:00, and Saturday morning at 9:00 for the conclusion of Passover and for Yizkor. Shabbat Shalom and Hag Sameah.
