Beth Shalom Schedule for the Week of May 2nd

With H-shem's ever loving kindness, we will meet at the synagogue at 956 J Street in Crescent City this Friday evening at 7:00 pm for Shabbat services. These services will be led by the congregation and all friends and congregants are welcome to attend.

We will meet to light candles, hear about some Torah and have a little kiddish as a community before we retire to our respective weekends.

The following Saturday morning at 10:00 am we will meet at the synagogue in Crescent City conference room at Evergreen Bank in Brookings, OR for our weekly Torah study. Unfortunately, Rabbi Scharnberg is officiating at a bar mitzvah and will not be available for this meeting. This week we will study the double parsha Behar-Bechukotai (Leviticus 25:1 - 27:34) this week we start with the laws of the "shmita" year, or years we leave the fields fallow and allow anyone to eat from our fields; and the "jubilee" year which is when every fifty years all crimes and debts are forgiven. By the second parshah we are given the blessings and the curses that we will merit depending on wether or not we follow Hashem's Torah. Finally, the parshiot end with laws forbidding idol worship and commanding the observance of Hashem's shabbatot and to venerate His sanctuary.

Shavua tov and be well.
