Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, this Shabbat’s meeting is on SATURDAY MORNING, August 10 at 11:00.  Shabbat is of course a time given to us for rest, reflection, and learning.  Have a relaxing Shabbat evening on Friday, and come refreshed and ready to take in what is certain to be another illuminating and meaningful presentation from our dear, Professor Howard Kerner.  Prof. Kerner provided to us a hint with his presentation title: “Jewish Athletes and the 1936 Olympics”, something very timely and of interest to us today.

Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, is it hot enough out there for you?  You are invited to another Summer Member-Led Shabbat Service with us, where the smiles are always warm, but the building is cool.  This upcoming service on Friday, July 12 at 7:00 pm is led by our esteemed newest Board member, Uriah Rose, with accompaniment by his mother and another valued new member, Krystal Rose.  We are looking forward to hearing what they have to share, and to seeing you, too.

Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, for our first Member-Led service of the year, Summer will officially be here!  It will be sunny and warm with our shared appreciation of our temple community.  🙂  Note the earlier time, Member-Led services start at 7:00 pm.  This Friday, June 21 we will have a service led by our esteemed cantorial soloist, Meryl Crews, with readings by your dedicated Secretary, Margo Fleisher.  We will have a discussion of the Torah portion for this Shabbat.

Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, this Shabbat we have an opportunity to join together in our synagogue to celebrate and remember.  This Friday, May 17 at 7:30 pm we have our traditional Shabbat service with Rabbi Herzfeld and music with Meryl Crews, along with observance of Yom Haazmaut.  

Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, we hope you will join us for Shabbat services on Friday, May 17 at 7:30 pm.  We will have our traditional Reform Shabbat service, and later in the service we will take some time to remember our dear friend, Phil Grinker in a brief dedication ceremony by our Tree of Life.  Please be sure to join Sandi and the family, and us in the synagogue.

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.

Lay Services

You asked for daytime services, we responded:

March has an expanded in-person worship opportunity.

A morning lay-led Sabbath service is now scheduled for:

 Saturday, March 16th at 10:30 AM.

It will be led by our own Board Trustee, Arlene Greenberg.

There will not be any oneg, but we plan on having a ‘brown bag’ lunch following the service.

Hopefully many will take advantage and attend.

No Zoom access as this service is in-person only.
