L’Shana Tovah, Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends! Somehow through waiting out a hurricane, preparing for the High Holidays, and carrying on all of our usual synagogue business, our Editor and team managed to prepare a lovely issue of the Chai Lites for you! There are lovely updates and valuable information about our High Holiday schedule of services. We look forward to seeing you this week for Rosh Hashanah and later this month for Yom Kippur. This is an important time for us to come together with all that is happening in the country and in the world, so many thanks to all whom contributed to these activities and this newsletter.

Hurricane Milton
October 8, 2024 by urjtbs • Community, Services
Dear Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, after the first year of remembrance of October 7, now our minds are on Hurricane Milton advancing toward our community. Our love and concern is with you as you evacuate to a safer area or prepare your home to wait out the storm. With Yom Kippur approaching, the Jewish principle of pikuach nefesh applies — the priority is for your safety and well-being and that of your loved ones. We wish for you:
Be on the lookout for any updates about Yom Kippur services in the next 24 hours. Wishing you shalom.
