This Week at Beth Shalom

Condolences to Rabbi Joseph Hample, who led our Yom Kippur services yesterday morning. His father, Stuart Hample, died in New York City this morning. There will be a shiva minyan Tuesday at 7 PM at the home of Rabbi Hample and Barry Wendell in Seawood Village in Crescent City. Call Judi Lewis at 707-460-3005 for details.

Sukkot, the seven or eight day harvest festival begins Wednesday night. We will have a Shabbat Sukkot service this Friday at 7 at the temple, 956 J St in Crescent City.

Torah study continues Saturday from 10 AM to noon at the temple. We will read the end of Deuteronomy in celebration of Simchat Torah ( technically Wednesday or Thursday night next week), and also look at Ecclesiastes, which is traditionally read at this season.

We are still looking at the possibility of an event Sunday for Sukkot, maybe a potluck outdoors.
We will update the blog and e-mails later in the week.

Sukkot is z'man simchateinu, a time of happiness and joy after the tension of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. I wish everyone a joyous Sukkot holiday.
