Pre-Purim Celebration/Shabbat — Mar 22-23

March 20, 2024 by •

Happy Spring Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends!  Purim is coming early next week, so we have the opportunity to celebrate it together after a brief, traditional Shabbat service at our synagogue on Friday, March 22 at 7:30 pm.  Does anyone have an idea whom Rabbi Herzfeld will send up to the bimah this year to read the heroic tales of Esther and Mordechai?  Some unusual character to be sure!  We cannot wait until the mystery is satisfied!  Torah Study follows on Saturday, March 23 at 9:30 am, and hopefully we will all be recovered from the festivities by then.
