Special occasions deserve special attention. At last Friday’s Shabbat Service, Temple Shirat Shalom did just that. Cantor Sussman performed the blessing given to Don and Judy Belmont’s son, Adam, and his fiancé Neta-Lee Laizerovich celebrating their upcoming wedding in April.
The proud families of both Adam and Neta-Lee were present for the Service and Oneg, and it was a wonderful opportunity to meet and chat with the happy couple and their families.
These occasions of joy and sometimes sorrow bring us closer together as a community. When we take part in the celebration of a congregant’s life cycle event, our bonds become stronger and the ties to our religion deeper. It is unique to Jewish life and is cherished by all of us.
Sometimes we find it hard to find God in our everyday lives. However, if we open our hearts to one another in joy and in sorrow, we find God in the love we share.
