TORAH TALK -
Canceled Due to Extreme Heat
Saturday, June 24, 10:30 a.m.
Here's a message from Ellen Lerman, volunteer Torah Talk liaison:
|
To our Torah Talk Family,
I'm sorry to tell you that our June 24th Torah Talk is canceled. Rabbi is worried that the expected heat will be a health hazard, and of course she's right. We all have air conditioned homes and cars, but those cars will be sitting outside for two hours at 120º during our conversation. It's better to be on the safe side. (We had this issue last year, so from now on we won't schedule a Torah Talk in June.)
There is no Torah Talk in July, so we will reconvene in August.
Thanks to all of you who hosted Torah Talk this year.
May we all have a calm, peaceful summer,
Ellen

Thank you, Ellen!
Torah Talk is one of Kehillah's most-loved traditions, and newcomers are always welcome! (No prior knowledge is needed.) Torah Talk is a morning filled with conversation, laughter, and the opportunity to get up-close and personal with Rabbi Sharfman and your Kehillah friends. If you have questions about Torah Talk, please feel free to contact Ellen at [email protected] or Renee at [email protected].

Book Group Summer Schedule
July: no meeting
August 27:
Wonder, by
Raquel J. Palacio,

HIPPA PRIVACY RULE:
Hospitals won't notify us about your stay, nor will Jewish chaplains visit or share your information with us unless you specifically give permission and request that they do so. Rabbi Sharfman and Congregation Kehillah want to support Kehillah members - so many emotions and issues arise during illnesses requiring hospitalization. Please call the office and give us your name, hospital name/room number and any health details you can share to enable us to be responsive to you and your needs.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS

A note from Renee:
We are all very excited to be moving into our new home. There are many items we will need to make our house into a home and we appreciate all who have already stepped forward and offered to donate various items. For now, we ask that you please hold off purchasing items for us until we figure out what our needs are. If you wish to help now, a monetary donation is always welcomed. Currently we are developing a wish list and will have a gift registry requesting specific, new items. Since we are still under renovation, we have nowhere to safely store items. Thank you for your support and understanding.
