Shabbat Shalom- December 1, 2022

Shabbat Inspiration, Worship Schedule, and LifeCycle Notices

Thursday, December 1, 2022 / 7 Kislev 5783

As I look at the calendar for December, I am excited by the number of learning and doing opportunities for our community. Classes on genealogy, cooking, Jewish BioEthics, making meaning from our Bible stories, and more.

January will bring new Tikkun Middot groups and an Introduction to Judaism class. A full list of December, January and February programs can be found here.

These programs are a time for learning, but even more so they are opportunities to connect with each other. That's the part I love!

Wishing you a peaceful and calm Shabbat,

Warmly,

Marci Dickman

Director of Lifelong Learning

Last Call for Soup Kitchen Coat Drive

The Beth Emet Soup Kitchen is holding its Winter Coat and Accessory Drive once again and we are in need of your help!

We welcome your donations of new and gently used/freshly cleaned adult-sized coats and winter accessories. Coats are especially needed! The emphasis is on quality over quantity; please no discount store acrylic items as they do not keep fingers and heads warm. Your generosity is most appreciated!

Help set up at 4:00 pm and/or help the guests make their choices from 5:15-7:00 pm. Contact Leslie Shulruff
