Rabbi Goor has sent a letter to the parents encouraging their kids to attend. Please try to make sure that we have their participation.
If you drop the kids off and have to fill up an hour we can all meet for a glass of wine at the bar closest to Lev Chadash.
Kabbalat Shabbat will begin at 7:00 p.m. Our Rabbi, Donald Goor will conduct services and our Shabbat dinner will follow. Please let us know by Tuesday, February 4 if you plan to participate and what you will contribute to the dinner. If, for unseen circumstances, you cannot come at the last minute, please let us know so that we can arrange to have other food. We are so happy that we can all sit at tables and enjoy celebrating Shabbat together.
Shabbat, Saturday. February 8 ,10:30 a.m. at the Hotel. We are honored to have Rabbi Bernhard Mehlman, Senior Scholar at Temple Israel in Boston with us for Shabbat. He is coming up from Rome to participate in our service. Rabbi Mehlman is a Professor of Midrash and Homiletics at Hebrew Union College in New York. Rabbi Mehlman was Beth Shalom's first Resident Rabbi in 2007 and 2008. His wisdom, knowledge and warm and welcoming personality were vital at the beginning of Beth Shalom's early development.
We hope you will make every effort to be with us at this special Shabbat to welcome Rabbi Mehlman back. Rabbi Goor will conduct our service with Rabbi Mehlman conducting a dvar torah. It promises to be a memorable Shabbat and we look forward to seeing you!
