Comin’ Home to Shabbat Worship

May 22, 2014 by Leave a Comment

In the upcoming weeks, it will be important to check the website and watch out for notifications on where Shabbat Services will be held.

Temple Shirat Shalom has always been known for its warm and friendly Shabbat Services. Whether 10 or 100 people are in attendance, there is a welcoming feeling throughout the Service and Oneg. So what would make our Services even more intimate? The Home Shabbat Service.

On designated Fridays, congregants will be opening their homes and hosting Services from their living room, patio, back yard or decks. If you have not attended such a Service before, you are in for a real treat. Remembering one such Service from last summer, the birds were chirping, the sun was setting and all in attendance felt transformed by the experience.

Watch your inbox for upcoming dates and destinations where The Home Shabbat will take place. Attend at least one of these special evenings and experience the peaceful joy of Shabbat.

Our journey in the wilderness

May 22, 2014 by Leave a Comment

B’midbar, this week’s Torah portion begins the fourth book of the Torah. It is not only the name of the parsha of the week but it is the name of the entire book. The custom is to the name the entire book from the name of the first portion. The book of numbers recounts the story of the 40 year wanderings of the Jewish people in the desert.

It is the name however which really describes the journey of our people. They are in the wilderness spiritually, emotionally and literally. Wilderness is a time, place or feeling without orienting landmarks or structure. The Israelites must find their way and become a people connected to each other, God and tradition.

We, too must always find our way. We are all on this journey in the proverbial wilderness, always looking for meaning and structure. The ancients eventually used Judaism as their guide, let us too explore our tradition to find our way.

We’ll be outside on the pleasant evenings, and inside if the weather is not so good.
