Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, you can keep your congregational spirit warm this season by attending this Saturday’s Member-Led Shabbat Service with our esteemed President, Lorraine Mixter on December 14 at 11:00 am. This service will be in-person only (no Zoom). It is sure to be another lovely and meaningful experience. The group plans to meet for lunch after the service at Azteca in Winter Haven for all who are interested.
Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends! Shabbat always comes, and we have another opportunity to worship, learn, talk, and of course eat together! Shabbat begins this Friday, November 22 at 7:30 pm with a traditional service led by Rabbi Herzfeld and with Meryl Crews cantorial accompaniment. The service will be held at our synagogue and simultaneously on Zoom. The next morning, Saturday November 23 at 9:30 we have Torah Study, which is always fun and illuminating. Rabbi Herzfeld will teach us on Zoom to a group at the synagogue building, where we will enjoy a light brunch. If you’re unable to come to our site in Winter Haven for either event, contact us for the Zoom link.
