Dear Members and Friends,
We will be celebrating a double simcha… Rabbi Whiman’s return and an Aufruf for Ashley Racine and Matteo Fideli, who will be married by Rabbi Whiman in June. If you have never been present at one, the Rabbi will give a special blessing to the bride and groom before their wedding. Ashley and Matteo will offer a Kiddush after services. Please try to join us for our double simcha on April 22 at 10:30 a.m. at the Hotel. Let’s welcome Rabbi Whiman and David Zucker back with a large participation of Beth Shalom members and friends.
Don't Pass on Passover
Join us for a Passover Seder you will remember for a lifetime!
Dear Friends,
For the first time ever Beth Shalom will celebrate the first night of Pesach, Monday April 10th, with a communal Seder at the Hotel.
Relive the exodus, discover the eternal meaning of the Haggadah, and enjoy a community Seder complete with Matzah, wine, and a wonderful dinner spiced with unique traditional customs. Our tri-lingual (Italian, English and Hebrew) seder will be led by Rabbi Donald Goor and Cantor Evan Kent who are flying in from Israel to celebrate this holiday of freedom with us. With Rabbi Goor leading the service and Cantor Kent singing, this first night for Beth Shalom is sure to be a memorable one.
Please, send an email to either Carey Bernitz (carey.bernitz(at)gmail.com) or Carol Ross (info(at)sophisticateditaly.com) with your names and method of payment so that we can get a count to the caterers.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO MAKE ADVANCE PAYMENT BY BANK TRANSFER, PLEASE CONTACT US FOR ALTERNATE ARRANGEMENTS.
While we ask each participant to share in the cost of the Seder, Beth Shalom will never exclude anyone whose finances cannot sustain these fees. If you are in that position, contribute what you can. You do not have to ask for special treatment, and your information will be kept confidential.
If your finances are such that you can contribute a bit more, we will gratefully accept that too. Please open your heart and participate in this special “Mitzvah”. What better preparation can there be for our festival of freedom?
