Please extend your warmest thank-you to Rabbi Metz and Cantor Chapman for our glorious High Holiday services. Check back–we will be posting links to the sermons and to a couple of new tunes that Cantor Chapman taught us.

On the subject of music, Rabbi Metz has been (ever-so-gently) introducing some new tunes on Shabbat. Here’s a link to a lovely Oseh Shalom on YouTube that the rabbi has been singing on Saturdays.

We are still collecting food for a local food pantry. Please drop off non-perishable packaged food items. The bins for drop-offs will be set up through Oct 14.
