We will have a discussion of the Torah portion for this Shabbat.
Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, welcome to June and a new issue of the Chai Lites! It is lovely with photos and stories of what we are all doing together as a congregation and community. Thanks to all of you who sent in the photos, and to all of you who are in the photos. 🙂 We have one more service (on Zoom June 7) and Torah Study with Rabbi Herzfeld before Summer vacation this season, and after that it’s up to us to continue learning and joining together for a little while. Many thanks also to our President and Editor, Lorraine Mixter, for pulling it all together!
