IN THE TORAH

Torah Portion: Tetzaveh, Exodus 27:20-30:10

Aaron and his sons are given priestly responsibility, including taking charge of the sacred menorah in the temple. The priests’ clothes are described in great detail. When the priesthood eventually ceases, we dress our Torah in the same clothes, turning to our Torah as our priest and teacher.

What do we learn from this portion? When something ends, we can’t just give up. We must learn to evolve and change with the times, bringing lessons from the past with us.

— Rabbi Helayne Shalhevet

YAHRZEITS: We'll be remembering Lola Laubheim, Ida Markowitz, Samuel Paskowitz, Sadie Feldstein Rudin, Willie Slater,

Arnold Wang and Jean Zuckerman.

Temple family news

BY JOAN PERRIN

Yom huledet sameach to all our congregants celebrating March birthdays. Best wishes to Rachel Boykan, Linda Deya, Marcia Grossman, Arlene Lefkowitz, Jack Millrod, Phil Paskowitz, Elliot Perry, Rebecca Sandak, Pam Smoller and Noah Wenig. Rabbi Shalhevet, and Cantor Wharton will be offering special birthday blessings to all who celebrate this month at this Friday's 7 p.m. Family Shabbat. If I missed your March birthday, please send me an email.

Mazel tov to Matt Fox whose son, Julian joined the U.S.Coast Guard, following in his father's footsteps in military service. Yasher koach to Julian, who ships out April 29.

Mishebeirach to Akiva the Believer, who is recovering from carpal tunnel surgery and expects to be back to drumming soon.

Please email Joan Perrin at perrinjoan@aol.com with any special news you'd like to share with your temple family. She'd like to pass along your birthdays, anniversaries, new jobs, retirements, family milestones, requests for healing and news of personal losses.

Can you adopt a Shabbat?

It can mean so much more than volunteering to host an oneg. Bring the family together to celebrate a simcha or honor a loved one. If you haven't reserved a 2025 date yet, send an email to Marcia Grossman at shoelady27@aol.com. We have no families signed up for March 28, April 11, May 9. 16 and 23 and June 13, 20 and 27.
