This Week at Beth Shalom

We will greet Shabbat this Friday night at 7 at the temple, 956 J Street in Crescent City. Thanks to Rabbi Joe Hample for volunteering to lead last week. We are using Kol Haneshama, a prayer book from the Reconstructionist movement, on loan from Rabbi Les Scharnberg, and his congregation in Arcata. I'd like to get some feedback on this siddur.

Torah study continues Saturday at the temple from 10 AM to noon. We are reading Terumah this week, Exodus 25:1-27:19.This is the beginning of the construction of the Ark and the Tabernacle.

Passover is coming up, beginning the evening of April 18. Watch here for news about Beth Shalom's annual seder.
