Our celebration of this holiday season continues with a Simchas Torah service Thursday night at 7 at the temple, 956 J Street in Crescent City. We will read both the end and the beginning of the Torah scroll, dance, sing, eat and have fun. Please join us.
I hope everyone is enjoying their "Season of Our Joy." Our temple community worshiped at our Shabbat Sukkot service last Friday. At Torah study Saturday, we looked at Ecclesiastes (Kohelet in Hebrew), which is read at this season. Sunday, eight of us gathered for an impromptu picnic in beautiful weather at Loeb Park, near Brookings. The two pictures above are from our picnic.
Friday night is Shabbat once again, Parshat B'reishit, beginning the post- holiday cycle with Genesis 1. Judi Lewis is leading services at 7 PM at the temple.
Torah study begins anew Saturday from 10-12 at the temple with Genesis 1- 6:9. God creates the world, then thinks maybe creating humanity wasn't such a good idea, after all. If you haven't been to Torah study, this would be a good time to start. This is also the 48th anniversary of my bar mitzvah.
We note with sympathy the passing of Barbara Schwartz, sister of Howard Lenhoff.
Thanks to Robin W. Olson and her son, Evan M. Olson, for a donation to the temple in memory of Stuart E. Hample.
