Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, this week we celebrate THREE holidays: this week we observe the end of Sukkot, the beginning of Simchat Torah, and of course it will be Shabbat!  This Friday, October 25 at 7:30 pm we will have a traditional Shabbat service along with celebration of the Torah, and conclude with shaking the lulav and etrog and kiddush in the sukkah, weather permitting.  All of those are certainly best in person at the synagogue, but the Zoom option as always will be available. Please contact us for the link.

Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, it was delightful to see so many of you on tonight’s Zoom Kol Nidre service.  These times show what strength and love we have among us.  We are pleased to report that minutes before the start of tonight’s service we saw that power was restored to our synagogue building, so in-person services will be onstarting with the Yom Kippur Morning Service at 10:30 am.  There will be a break after the Morning Service, and at 3:00 pm we will return for our customary discussion period — Rabbi Herzfeld will lead a viewing of the October 7 Memorial program, In Memory and Hope.  The afternoon services follows immediately at 4:00 pm, then the Stone Service, Yizkor, Neilah, and finally the Break the Fast prepared by Trish Safer (thank you Trish!).  These activities will also be viewable live on Zoom if you are unable to come to the building for whatever reason, please contact us for the link.

Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, we hope you are safe and well!  Some of our members are still at their evacuation sites, and hopefully will return by tomorrow morning.  We are looking at power outage maps to see what the status is for our services, and cannot advise yet if we will have in-person services tomorrow and/or Saturday.  We have Zoom links prepared which we would use for at-home attendees, so will provide those. Please contact us for the link.
