Shabbat Shalom!

So, it is just about Shabbat and I'm getting ready for a wonderful evening at Temple and a great "Lunch and Learn" tomorrow. Ruben has spent all day cooking and tomorrow's lunch should be great! He made cholent, hummus, and two types of kugel!

I'm posing a question... "What is one thing you can do to make Shabbat a little more special in your life?"

I look foward to hearing your thoughts...

Shabbat Shalom!

Back from the Biennial

Last week I had an amazing opportunity to celebrate my Judaism with over 3000 other Reform Jews from around North America and beyond. I attended the Union for Reform Judaism's 70th Biennial in Toronto, Canada. For me, it was my 5th Biennial-- having gone to one as a teenager and then going to the last 3 while in Rabbinical School. It was a truly awesome time of getting together with old friends and making new ones. I learned new melodies of songs and came back to SRT with some great program ideas.

I'll be speaking about the Biennial at services on Friday, November 20th...so please come to hear more about the conference and even share in a treat I brought back from Canada!

In the meantime, you can check out www.urj.org for more info on the Biennial.

Stay tuned, I'll be posting a few pics too...

Shabbat Shalom!

We'll continue to post more pictures from JJ's visit. Here's a quick clip of JJ's performance with the Religious School.

Shalom Everybody...Shalom to Africa, Shalom to America...Shalom-Shalom!!!
