I’d like to inform you of a few items.
- The Rabbi and Penny are taking a very much need vacation. They will be gone for two months, leaving for Israel on May 25th and returning on July 25th.
- With the agreement of the Rabbi, during the months of his absence, we will go on an abbreviated summer schedule of Friday night services. Susan Rupright will conduct Friday night services in the Rabbi’s place. Let’s attend and support her.
- The dates for Friday night services will be: May 27, June 3, June 10, July 8, July 15
- Zoom will be shut down during the Rabbi’s absence. Upon his return we’ll discuss whether to reactivate it.
- Rabbi Robert Lefkowitz of Orlando has agreed to serve in his rabbinical capacity should we be in need of the services of a rabbi during these two months
Make it a good day!
