This Week At Beth Shalom

We are not meeting this week. If you are keeping up with the Torah sections, this week is a double,Tazria-Metzorah, Leviticus 12:1-15:33. This section deals with ritual purity and impurity. We will be back May 4 for services, which will be led by Jill Munger.

Today (Wednesday) is Yom Hazikaron, Israel's Memorial Day. It's a time to remember those who died fighting for Israel's independence, and in the wars since. At sunset tonight, we move into Yom Ha'Atzmaut, Israel's Independence Day. This is a day of celebration in Israel, immediately following the day of mourning.

We have tentatively set a date for a congregational meeting. We will meet at 5 P.M. Sunday, May 20 at the temple. There will be refreshments.It is just about two years since I was pressed into service as president, and Judi Lewis became treasurer. We need to get some new leadership. We are also considering suspending services, at least for the summer.Please come and let the group know what you would like to see for the future of Beth Shalom.

Thanks to the person who left an envelope with cash in it at the temple for us.That person treated the congregation to the oneg bread and snacks last week.
