Amber Feldman and Elisa Abes at Shabbat in the Park.
by Mitch Cohen
July is filled with sun, camp, and vacations, but in a little more than a week, it will be August. Preparations have already begun for this year's High Holidays. Choir practices have started. Rabbi Scott Shafrin has put together a new series of classes to help us get ready for the High Holidays, which he will offer on Thursdays at 7:30 PM in person or via Zoom, starting August 21st (see the ad below). Also, Rabbi Wise will be back via Zoom in September to offer his classes on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
But it's not Rosh Hashanah yet! Enjoy the summer and come out to French Park on Friday, August 8th at 6:30 PM to join Rabbi Shafrin and me for our second musical Kabbalat Shabbat in the Park followed by dinner catered by Rotem. (see the ad below)
