Thanks to Jill Munger for bringing fresh salad from her garden for our Shavuot meal last Friday. Thanks also to Rabbi Joe Hample for treating us to pizza and cheesecake, and for volunteering to lead our service last week.
Shavuot begins tonight at 8:31 according to the Chabad-supplied candle lighting times on our blog page (http://templebethshalom.blogspot.com if you are reading this from our e-mail list). The holiday extends two days for Orthodox and Conservative Jews outside Israel, and one day for Reform Jews and everyone in Israel, ending at 9:41 P.M. The holiday commemorates the giving of the Torah to the Jewish people on Mount Sinai, and the early summer harvest in Israel. Traditions include eating dairy products, reading the Book of Ruth, and staying up all night and studying.
We will continue Torah study Friday afternoon, moving the time this week to 4:30 P.M. to 6 followed by a break to 7 for dinner. We may go out as a group or bring in food. Contact me if you would like to bring food at delnortebethshalom@gmail.com, or leave a comment on the blog. Services will begin at 7 P.M. All events are at the temple, 956 J Street in Crescent City.
Our parsha this week is Beha'alotecha , Numbers 8:1-12:16. This section includes the revolt of Miriam and Aaron against Moses.
Please join us this Friday for study at 4:30 and services at 7. Enjoy our holiday beginning tonight.
