From Girl Scouts to Popes

Dear Haverim:
*Tomorrow, Friday, March 15, 6:30 p.m. (happy hour 6 p.m.), National Girl Scout Shabbat comes to Congregation Beth Shalom, led by Troop 739 of the Chesapeake Bay Council – and friends. For our drash, the girls, with help from troop leaders Meri Weiss and Elissa Green-Beals, will describe an amazing program where they presented Israel and Judaism at an area gathering – and were informally voted, hands-down, the post popular booth at the event. These girls will inspire you!
*Saturday, March 16, 9:30 a.m. (Torah service: 10:15 a.m.) Sermon Topic: Bienvenido Pope Francis: Good for the Jews? (And Why Should We Care?) I have received so many emails from you on this subject, that it would seem irresponsible not to talk about it. (I am happy to discuss the sacrifices vividly described in this week’s Torah portion, Vayikra, over lunch for those disappointed that I did not focus on the parshat ha shevua).
Be inspired! Stay informed. Attend Shabbat services at CBS!
Shabbat shalom!
Rabbi Michael
