Weekly Sermon
Purple Rain

Featured Song
Cantor Schwartz Sings "Mi Shebeirach"
|
Through the generations, we have blessed our children. This week, Parashat Lekh L’kha particularly reminds us not just to give a blessing, but to be a blessing. This song by Zina Goldrich and Marcy Heisler, commissioned by PAS especially for the moment at which the clergy bless the Bnei Mitzvah, distills the tender moment when the rabbi and cantor bless the child. When the blessing is for a clergy member’s kid, the smile is perhaps just a little bit wider. |
Kol Nidrei 5782
From the Chairman
"We’ve seen the past year what we’re capable of – as individuals, as a synagogue, as a community. We set new standards of accessibility, excellence, and kindness. We have an opportunity to meet the moment in front of us, and that moment for our community is now. We must keep moving forward – Kadima! Each of us can choose to step in, step up, and elevate Jewish traditions. There isn’t one right way – every tent faces a different direction – but together, if we all do our part, we’ll enrich our traditions for generations to come."
