Live From New York – Parasha Lech Lecha 10/11 and 10/12

As you may have heard, our congregants Dani Kadosh and Juliette Meinstein will be getting married in Florida on Sunday, October 13.  The Cantor will be out of town that weekend officiating at the wedding so we have arranged for a friend of a friend to come in and lead services.  We were fortunate to find Rabbi Joshua Frankel to help lead services.

 

Because we have a guest in town, we will have some activities both Friday night and Saturday morning.  On Friday night, we will have our regular Kabbalat Shabbat services at 7:00 pm, followed by a community dinner.  As dinner is finishing, Rabbi Frankel will lead a discussion of the weekly Parasha, Lech Lecha.  Desserts and benching will follow this discussion.

 

On Saturday, October 12, we will have the baby naming of David and Katherine Lippa’s daughter.  We will have a lovely kiddush lunch following the services which is sponsored by David and Katherine Lippa in honor of their daughter’s baby naming.  We hope you can join us for this simcha.

 

Our guest rabbi is Rabbi Joshua Frankel, an Orthodox activist and educator dedicated to helping Judaism grow as a relevant, compelling, and inclusive force in contemporary life. Rabbi Frankel is an IDF combat veteran, and is an alumnus of Yeshivat Har Etzion in Alon Shvut. He received his rabbinical ordination from YCT Rabbinical school with the support of a Wexner Graduate Fellowship. Joshua holds a BA in Economics from Hebrew University and is currently a pursuing an MBA at the City University of New York.

 

We hope to see you at these events.
