At the meeting on January 11, 2018, the Religious Committee was excited to learn that the Jacobs family we be donating a Sefer Torah to our congregation. We began the discussions of how we’re going to mark this wonderful event.

We also talked about what steps we can take to have more members participate as service leaders and Torah readers. If you, or anyone you know is interested in this, contact Jonathan Arden at vp.religious@etzhayim.net and we’ll work with you to get you more involved. If this is something that’s outside your comfort zone, have no fear. We have smaller opportunities to get you started.

New Torah will debut at Shavuot: Join us for services on the first day of Shavuot — Sunday, May 20, 2018 at 10:00am — to celebrate the addition of the new Sefer Torah to our congregation. This is a truly a unique and joyous occasion, and if that wasn’t enough, there will be great food, too!
