Torah Study following Shabbat Morning Services
Rabbi Jonathan Case will be teaching a class in Talmud Torah in-person at the synagogue following services at approximately 12:30 p.m. The class will continue to be broadcast on Zoom, but for those who would like to personally attend the class, it will take place in the sanctuary.

Alexander Kraemer
will become a Bar Mitzvah
Saturday, March 12
Alex Kraemer is the son of Carly & Todd Kraemer and the younger brother of Kacy Kraemer. He is an eighth grader at Hammond School. After several COVID related delays, Alex is thrilled to finally become a Bar Mitzvah!
Alex is a true sports enthusiast! He has played soccer for the past 10 years, and more recently, football for 3 years. He is passionate about Florida State football and his beloved Kansas City Chiefs. He is confident next year the Chiefs will go all the way! In addition to playing and watching all types of sports, Alex enjoys fishing, playing video games, working out and spending time with his friends and family.
The Kraemer family is excited to share this special Simcha with the congregation as well as friends and family from near and far.
