Just like so many times in Jewish history, our congregation is finding ways to thrive in the midst of adversity and crisis. Our community has found connection from our Facebook Live Friday Shabbat night services to Torah study and Jewish University, via Zoom on Saturdays.

In this week’s edition of “Jewish U,” we will be discussing how Jewish Culture, Customs and Bubbe-Meises have informed Jewish ritual and tradition. The class will also be encouraged to share some of their own insights on Jewish culture and customs that are particularly meaningful. Please bring your best examples!

Virual Coffee with the Rabbi” continues on Wednesdays and has been a good place to electronically gather. It is truly heartfelt to see the number of people who have been participating in all of our services and classes. Please join us!

As I mentioned in the past few weeks, please continue to check in with each other via, phone, text, email or social media. If you know those who may be more isolated than others, they would certainly love to hear a friendly voice. That is what we can do as a loving community and congregation, quite simply take care of each other. In short, for right now, let’s replace a handshake or a hug with a phone call or email.

If you know of someone who you think would benefit from a call from me, please send me their information. I will be happy to follow up.

I m of course, always available to take your calls, emails and texts. Additionally, if you just need to talk, in need of spiritual counseling or would like to hear a friendly voice, please do not hesitate to contact me.

My ongoing thanks to our Temple President and board who continue to show strong leadership and resolve during this difficult time.

Please know that we will get through this together, with God’s love and the compassion and strength of our congregation.

We will continue to thrive, together.
