This Week at Beth Shalom

We will meet Friday night at 7 at the temple, 956 J Street in Crescent City to greet shabbat. I'm not sure at this time who will be leading the service.

Torah study continues Saturday from 10 AM to noon at the temple. The parsha this week is Ekev. Moses continues his discourse to the people.

Sunday from 1 to 5 is our Beth Shalom picnic at Florence Keller County Park, located off Elk Valley Crossing, just west of US 101, north of Crescent City. If you haven't made arrangements to bring something, contact Vivian at 541-412-7015. The temple will provide burgers, hot dogs and veggie options. A five dollar donation is requested as well as the pot luck offering.

Hebrew class is continuing in Brookings at 11 AM Sunday at a different location than last week. Vivian is also coordinating this. If you still wish to begin this class, please call her.

Our newsletter will likely be out by the end of the week. Thanks to Miriam Felt for designing it.

Have a productive week. I hope to see everyone this weekend.
