Services Friday at 7pm & Saturday & 9AM, with a light kiddush lunch.

 

From the Cantor:

This week finds us in the period of “Bein HaMetzarim”, “In the Narrow Place”, the Three Weeks before Tish’a B’Av, the Ninth of Av.  This is a mournful period on the Jewish calendar, as we are approaching the day of mourning for the destruction of the Holy Temple.  The Haftarot, the Prophetic readings for the next three Shabbatot are rebukes to the People of Israel for wrongdoing and prophecies of the coming destruction.  As every year, Tish’a B’Av reminds us that nothing on this Earth is permanent-a good lesson to remember as summer begins to wind down to the High Holidays in the fall.  Shabbat Shalom to everyone.
