We are not having services this Friday night, because we are now meeting the first and third Friday for services and Saturday for Torah study. This weekend is the fourth weekend of March. For those keeping track, the parsha this week is Vayikra, the first section of Leviticus. It includes from chapter 1, verse 1 to chapter 5, verse 26. The first five chapters of Leviticus describe all the sacrifices to be made in the Tent of Meeting.
There are five weekends in March this year. We will meet March 30 for services and March 31 for Torah study.
The following weekend, April 6 and 7 is the first day of Pesach or Passover. We will not have services, with the hope that people will get together at home, with family or with friends for a Passover seder.
Our temple seder will be at the Coast Guard Auxiliary at Crescent City Harbor on Sunday, April 8 at 4 P.M. The seder is potluck. Vivian will be calling people to arrange a good mix of foods. Send a note to us if you don't hear from her by a week before. I know she does not have an updated phone list. In any case, do not bring pork or shellfish, or anything with leavening - no bread or non-Passover grain products. Rose Munger set up a Facebook page for the temple seder. Look up "Beth Shalom seder." You can respond there.
Rabbi Les Scharnberg will be joining us from Arcata to lead the seder again this year.
Enjoy our North Coast (or South Coast if you live in Oregon) cold, rainy spring this week.
