Matthew 22:36-40
'Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?'
He said to him, ' "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind."
This is the greatest and first commandment.
And a second is like it: "You shall love your neighbour as yourself."
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.'
New Members are studying, preparing to join our congregation on April 9, 2017, Palm Sunday. We are seeking current active members who are willing to be "shepherds". These "shepherds" will keep in touch with New Members, by staying in touch, greeting them on Sunday mornings, sitting with them at any special congregational events, and helping them to acclimate to their new church family. If you are willing to share a special blessing with a new sister or brother in fellowship, please contact us here!

The Burbank Human Relations Council has presented their inspiring program for the past 23 years to honor the Days of Remembrance (Yom Hashoah). This year, the event will be hosted on Tuesday, May 9, 2017 by Burbank Temple Emanu El, at 1302 N Glenoaks Blvd., from 7:30-9:30 p.m.
The keynote speaker this year will be Auschwitz survivor Erika Jacoby. Her presentation will be called "I Hold the Sun in My Hands," which is also the title of her autobiography. She also appeared in a documentary film "Swimming in Auschwitz," which depicts six women telling their stories of survival in that notorious death camp.
ALC will join them as a partner in this moving and inspiring program, which will also feature candle lighters, music, and special readings as in past years. Our own Leslee Harman will represent ALC as a reader during the program!
It is the hope of the Burbank Human Relations Council to give the Burbank community a representation of all Burbank's worship centers in remembering the Holocaust, to never forget that history is to be remembered in order to prevent any future repeat of the horrors of the past.
