9 a.m.
Morning Minyan.
12:30
p.m. Blessing of the Drums. We will meet directly across the street in
Brandywine Park, near Washington Street, at the edge of the bridge, in the
almost completed Sugar Bowl. We will be
joined by several churches and their Sunday school students, as we send off the
steel drums which will be sent to educate Jewish and Arab children in the
Galilee region, as a way of bringing peace between two peoples. Rain location:
CBS atrium. I need you to come. This is a 45 minute
program.
5:00
p.m. Israel Trip Orientation.
We will
meet with our fellow travelers from Beth Emeth and Adas Kodesch, to express
interest in a 10-day Israel trip, leaving from Wilmington on June
15th. The Ayelet tour operator
will be on hand to answer our questions and there will be a video shown. We try to have a shul trip to Israel every
five years. If you want your child to go
on BirthRight, this trip will not adversely affect his/her chances of being
accepted. PLEASE come with me and my
family in this wonderful trip. We will
be including a visit to Ibillin, where our Delaware-sponsored Arab-Jewish steel
drum music program will be hosted. This trip will do wonders for your Judaism
and allow you to make new friends throughout the community. THREE Wilmington rabbis will be co-leading,
trained in Orthodox, Conservative and Reform seminaries. This is a Delaware First. Make history. Come
along.
7:00

MUSSAR
MOMENT
Midah
of the week: Individualism. (Noah
did not succumb to the pier pressure of his day and was righteous in his
generation).
Next
week’s Midah: Bravery. (Abraham and
Sarah turned their backs on everything they knew, to strike out on a new course
for the Promised Land).
Shabbat
shalom!
Rabbi
Michael
