Virtual Shabbat - Temple Shalom

T

Take from among you gifts to the Eternal; everyone whose heart is so moved shall bring them … ” (Ex. 35:5).

 

This verse reminds us that in order to create a sacred space for God’s presence to dwell, we first must create a sacred community, as we do here at Temple Isaiah every day. This means both being present for others as they share their 

uniqueness personal gifts, and also being willing to share our skills and talents in whatever capacity we can….wholeness is a result of acknowledging the value of each person.

Take a look through this week’s Shabbat-O-Gram to see the incredible amount of offerings we have here at Temple Isaiah. Our wonderful community is growing and we want you to be part of it!!

It is indeed our community that sustains and nourishes us. Let us continue to be there for each other both in times of joy and sorrow. Now more than ever, as we have safely opened our Temple to in-person services and events, let’s make every effort to be present and engaged, for that is how we keep our congregation strong and vital.

We are blessed with such a special congregation here at Temple Isaiah, may we continue to be the vital Center for Jewish Life throughout the Coachella Valley for many years to come. 

I am always available, if you would just like to visit for a while, either in person or by phone, video chat or text/email. Please feel free to get in touch with me. 

Join us, as we Renew, Rebuild and Rededicate.  

Let us continue to stand with Israel, as a proud and thriving congregation filled with Jewish Pride!

Blessings,

Rabbi Steven Rosenberg
