Shabbat Nov 22-23
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.

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.
