Please join us this Friday night, December 2nd, at 7:00pm for an exceptional wine and cheese happy hour, then at 7:30pm, we will gather for a very inspirational Shabbat service followed by a wonderful Oneg, where we can visit, schmooze and create new friendships

 

Dr. Sarah Sela joins me on the bima,

as our Cantorial Soloist, accompanied by pianist Joel Baker. 

My Friday Night Topic will be:

With the rising tide of antisemitism, we need vibrant Jewish institutions now more than ever. Jacob found his inspiration for continuity on a very special mountain. Where do we find ours?

Nosh and Drash Torah Study begins at 10:30am this Saturday morning, December 3rd, followed by joyous Shabbat prayer. Very interesting topic this week! We will look at Parashat Vayetzei (“He Went Out”). Our close reading of the book of Joshua continues as well. Join us!!

Our Adult B’nai Mitzvah program begins soon. If you would like to part of this wonderful class, please contact me via email at rabbisteven.rosenberg@gmail.com or via phone/text at 956.566.9328

Please let me know by the first week of December if you would like to be part of the class. 

Do you Chanu-Que? Then plan on attending our 2nd annual Chanukah BBQ on December 18th at 3:00pm. Lots of great food, singing, the lightning of our new Giant menorah and….wait for It, the return of Chanukah Bingo!!

We will be having a major speaker from StandWithUs in January, who will be discussing the alarming rate antisemitism has grown both in the U.S. and abroad. Check the ad in this edition of the Shabbat-O-Gram. 

Judaism 2.0: The Jewish Home in a contemporary world will begin on Zoom, Wednesdays at 7:30pm beginning on December 7th, 2022. This class is perfect for those who our continuing the introduction to Judaism cycle, as well as anyone else who would like to learn both the traditional and modern/progressive understanding of Jewish ritual, culture and spirituality. 

We have a very special guest speaker coming in February. More on that later. It truly will be a nice surprise. 

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 continue to wish Doug Refuah Shelaymah, may God bless him with strength and health, both of body and spirit. It is wonderful to see Doug back at Shabbat services!!

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 writing this on Giving Tuesday. I would humbly ask you to consider a gift of any amount that will enable us to keep our doors open, in a time of growing antisemitism around the world. Now, more than ever, we need your help to keep Temple Isaiah as a vital Center of Jewish Life for the greater Palm Springs area. Your generosity will ensure that our doors will always be a welcoming portal for those seeking spirituality, community, learning and friendship.
