Dear Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, Torah Study will occur as scheduled this Saturday, March 15 at 10:00 am. The session is a hybrid one, with Rabbi Herzfeld and students on Zoom (contact us for the link), and anyone venturing out to the building to attend is rewarded with a lovely breakfast nosh! I hope you find it illuminating as we do, that these events in the Torah were written down thousands of years ago, but give us guidance for how to think and decide in the times we have! Treat yourself right, come on down and participate.
