There certainly was a lot to sing about at last Friday’s Shabbat Service. Cantor Sussman blessed the marriage of Leslie Kritzer, daughter of Robert Kritzer, and her new husband, Vadim Feichtner. The newly married couple stood before the congregation with Robert and Roberta Kritzer to receive well wishes, warm hugs and heartfelt prayers for a happy life together.
The night continued with a Jewish Opera recounting the story of Ruth. Susan Bingham and her Children’s and Liturgical Opera Company performed a beautifully sung and well-played drama that left congregants speechless.
The Oneg following the Service was an extraordinary feast sponsored by Robert and Roberta Kritzer, celebrating the happy occasion.
This Service was a welcome respite to the long week of weird weather, stress at work and the strains of our every day life. The attendees left the night happy, smiling, singing and warm hearted. Mission accomplished.
Attending a Shabbat Service leaves us renewed and awakened to face the week ahead. The warm, friendly environment is conducive to the sense of community that our congregation enjoys. If you haven’t made this part of your routine, you are missing the spirit of joy and the sense of belonging that surrounds our being and provides us with a profound peace.
If you have something to celebrate or share, let us know how we can do it together at a Shabbat Service. There is nothing more enjoyable than joining together to offer good wishes, joy, love and support.
