Summary |
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Hanukkah. Amidst it all, we pause to offer thanks for all our blessings. I am grateful for each of you and the light you share with our community. I’m especially grateful for our staff, teachers, and lay leaders who have worked so hard to sustain our community through unusual times. If you have a moment, please take some time to join me in expressing our gratitude to them for all they do in service of this congregation.
• For an explanation of why Hanukkah and Thanksgiving are so close together this year, and more than you ever wanted to know about the Jewish calendar, Click Here for my sermon from this past Shabbat.
• New Class: Beginning on 12/14 at 8 pm, I’m going to be leading a monthly three-part series on gender and Jewish observance. I’m hoping to have a meaningful conversation with you that will inform our communal practice. For more information and to register, Click Here.
• Because this weekend is kind of a mashup of holidays, this Hanukkah mashup/medley is bound to bring a smile to your face. Click Here
