Dear Friends,
I’ve sent a couple of message to you already this week and am grateful for the significant number of responses I received. Thank you so much for your concern and support for me and Temple Sinai!
Since I’ve already written this week, this message will be a “shorty.” We tell you a lot about events taking place at the Temple. For example, I know you know that on Friday evening, February 3rd we are celebrating Shabbat Shirah with Magevet, the Yale University close harmony group. I’m sure you also know that we are doing a Tu BiSh’vat Seder together with the Kaplen JCC at Temple Sinai on Tuesday evening, February 7th. And I know you have these dates on your calendar and will be there, right? (See below for details.) But, did you hear about the following Jewish community events coming up in the next week and half? I highly recommend them:
1. “Sweet Tastes of Torah III” - Saturday evening, February 4th at 6:30 p.m. at Fair Lawn Jewish Center (10-10 Norma Avenue, Fair Lawn)
Please join us in celebrating the rhythm and music of Jewish life along with other members of the North Jersey Jewish community by participating in this evening of song and study led by over 20 rabbis in our community! I will be co-teaching a class on the music and poetry of Debbie Friedman. Cost is $20. Just come and pay at the door.
2. “Bringing Gilad Shalit Home: The Secret Negotiations for His Freedom” – Lecture by Dr. Gershon Baskin on
Monday evening, February 6th at 8:00 p.m. at the Kaplen JCC on the Palisades
Dr. Gershon Baskin, the founder and chairman of the Israel Palestine Center for Research and Information, will present the story of the negotiations he held with Hamas for the release of Gilad Shalit! Temple Sinai is co-sponsoring this event, which promises to give a rare and detailed glimpse into what really went on behind the scenes all that time between Shalit’s abduction in June 2006 and when he was recently released. Free and open to the public.
May we all join together to celebrate the sweet taste of Torah and Gilad Shalit’s freedom as a community.
Shabbat Shalom,
Jordan
