THIS SHABBAT'S SERMON TOPICS
In a never-ending effort to entice more of you to attend Shabbat services, I present:
THIS SHABBAT’S SERMON TOPICS!
8 p.m. , TONIGHT(note later start time), A Veterans’ Day Special: Saluting Jewish Service to America’s Defense: 1654 – the Present. We will begin with a lone Jew’s defense of New Amsterdam and end with selections from the recently published Jewish Forward’s profiles of American Jews who have died in our wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. You will hear Jewish names you simply ought to know, as well as get a sense of the BIG picture of Jewish defense of America.
9:30 a.m., Saturday. Bar Mitzvah candidate Jordan Cooper, guest darshan, speaking on Parshat Vayera and Hearing the Cries of the Needy in Sodom and Gomorrah & TODAY: A Call to Social Action!
Shabbat shalom,
Rabbi Michael

Multi-Tasking Defined: TONIGHT at Congregation Beth Shalom
Rabbi Michael's Friday night TO-DO List:
1. Honor Hannah Biener as she becomes a Bat Mitzvah (BTW mazel tov!)
2. Mark AJWS' World Hunger Shabbat as the ONLY synagogue in Delaware marking this AJWS effort to raise awareness on issues related to hunger, support policies to address hunger, change life style to ease hunger, with 18 days of programs between this Shabbat and Thanksgiving.
3. Celebrate Launch of Delaware Jewish Community's PJ Library with Bagels from Benny
4. Welcome young families, with PJ-clad kiddies, with First Friday of the Month Family Friendly Shabbat, with Rabbi Michael on guitar, cranking out those JCC Early Childhood Center favorites, like There's a Dinasour Knockin' At My Door and I've Got that Shabbat Feeling.
5. Make sure everyone, of all ages, feels welcome this Friday night at Congregation Beth Shalom, starting with an inter-generational Happy Hour at 6 pm, service start at 6:30 pm, and service conclusion at 7:15 pm (or so), in deference to little people and time-conscious adults who like a well-run, stream-lined service.
....whew!
