what it means to be human

No one can escape pain. That is what it means to be human. We have our good moments and our bad moments on our journey through life. Sometimes, when we are in relatively good condition, it is our loved ones who are suffering. Sometimes when our family is well, our community or nation or world is struggling.

On Friday night (8 PM) we designate our Shabbat worship as a “Healing Shabbat.” Yes, most of the traditional prayers will be included. However, the music and many readings will be special for this particular service.

If you are suffering and in need of healing, please join us. If you do not consider yourself as one in need of healing, please come anyway to lend a voice of support to others.

On Saturday morning, we will have Shabbat Service at 10 AM and Calley Roter’s bat mitzvah. On behalf of Temple Beth Shalom, we wish Calley Roter, and her family, a Mazel Tov on her upcoming bat mitzvah.



Please note that on Wednesday November 1st at 6:30 PM, Dr. Nancy Rosnow, retired professor of art history will teach a session on



JEWISH ARTISTS IN NINETEENTH CENTURY EUROPE



Everybody’s heard of the Jewish painter Marc Chagall; but, few know about the brilliant Jewish artists who preceded him in 19th Century Europe. They were in the first generation that was granted citizenship in France, England, Italy, Germany, and Austro-Hungary. Their fascinating lives and times are the topic of a colorfully illustrated slide-talk by our speaker, who will also present actual artworks and newspapers of the period.



B’shalom,

Rabbi Ari Goldstein
