Shabbat Shalom 
from 
Temple Beth Israel 
6 December 2014 / 14 Kislev 5775
From the Desk of Rabbi Hector Epelbaum

b"h

Shalom U'Vracha Beth Israel,

 

Do you like challenges? Do you like to do things differently? Do you like to show your friends and family that you are Jewish and Zionist, even in the smallest way?

 

A while ago, a friend posted a picture on Facebook you can see below. It's something different, unusual, and at the same time, funny and it's something to engage the whole family.

 

Try to lace your shoes with this very Jewish/Israeli style, and after practicing it, come to Shul this Kabbalat Shabbat and to our amazing Shabbat Mishpacha on Dec 12, with your sneakers laced this way.


 

 

Shabbat Shalom,

Rabbi Hector Epelbaum

We are Asking for Your Help
Morning Minyan: 
Monday & Thursday 
at 8:15am 

We are asking for your help to ensure that Temple Beth Israel can provide a Minyan on Monday and Thursday mornings to allow recent mourners and those observing a Yahrzeit -- to say Kaddish for a deceased loved-one. 

 

If you can attend at least one Morning Minyan service a month, you will be doing a great Mitzvah! Services start promptly at 8:15am and finish around 9:00am.

 

Please call Jodi at 954-851-9999 to schedule the day(s) that you will commit to attend.   

 

B'vracha and Thanks, 

Rabbi Hector Epelbaum
