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.

Shabbat May 17-18

May 15, 2024 by •

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.  

Later in the evening we will move to the lobby to present a leaf on the Tree of Life in memory of our dear friend, Phil Grinker.  You are invited to listen to and share  memories of Phil.  Phil was dedicated to the idea and reality of Israel, and to the principle of Tikkun Olam.  
 
And as always, Torah Study follows on Saturday at 9:30 am.  It is another chance for us to check in with each other and hear what folks have to say about what is going on in our world through the lens of Torah.

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.
