Beth Shalom Schedule for the Week of February 21st

Well, thank G-d, we've made it to this coming weekend, which is a very special time when the whole world turns up-side-down for the festival of Purim.  Traditionally, we read the megillat (scroll of) Esther and spend the rest of the time making as much noise and craziness as we can muster with the help of copious amounts of alcohol.

With H-shem's help and blessings, we will meet at the synagogue at 956 J Street in Crescent City this Friday evening at 7:00pm for Shabbat services.  Rabbi Les is scheduled to lead services and G-d willing will make the trip to join us for this great weekend.

We will meet to light candles, welcome the Shabbat Queen and have a little kiddish as a community before we retire to our respective weekends.

The following Saturday morning at 10:00am we will meet again at the classroom in Fort Dick for our weekly Torah study. This week we will read and discuss parshat Tetzaveh (Exodus 27:20 - 30:10) where we will learn of H-shem's instructions regarding the Holy Priests including their special garments and duties in the Mikdash or "Tent of Meeting."

Rabbi Les has contacted us by email and has returned from his travels in Patagonia. G-d willing he will join us this weekend to lead our congregation's services and Torah study and may we all merit to have a blessed and safe Purim weekend.
