This Month: Behira/Decision Point

~ Theodore Roosevelt

May 29th - We're on the Road (Again!) Life is a journey. We leave our homes, just like Abraham, and travel—(and sometimes wander)—in the wilderness like the Israelites. At our lay-led HaMinyan service this month, we will share stories from our personal journeys as we answer two questions:
1) What is a teaching, insight, or moment of wisdom, that you have received on your journey?
2) Whom have you met on your journey who made an indelible impression?
All will be invited to participate, including congregants on Zoom.
Lay-organized Sunday Torah Study: same Zoom link as services, 11:00 am – 12:30 pm.
(We won’t be doing the Noon Zoom this Friday, Nov. 28th, because it follows so closely on Thanksgiving. However,Sunday Torah study will cover the parasha - - so come join us then!)
