From PJ Library to Abortion: Running the Gamut

Dear Haverim:

·        Tomorrow night, Friday January 24

-5:45 pm  PJ Library: Music and Stories starring Delaware Rabbis, for 0-5 year olds (and their parents)-chapel. No need to attend services or Federation Shabbat to attend PJ Library program.

-8:00 pm Federation Shabbat Services (following 6:30 pm dinner for those with reservations)-sanctuary. We will feature Delaware Jewish community leadership as service leaders-sanctuary.  Oneg dessert to follow.  Guest speakers: Our own Dr. Henry and Lisa Dadone-Weiner.  Please come to services and serve as good hosts to our visitors from other shuls in Wilmington, as well as the Jewish communities in Newark, Dover and Rehoboth, who are all closing their Friday night services in order to celebrate Shabbat with us!

* Saturday, January 25, 9:30 a.m. Shabbat Services. (10:15 Torah service).  My drash will focus on Parshat Mishpatim: What Does the Torah say about ABORTION ?  We will examine Exodus 21:22 very carefully, and balance it against other issues, such as the First Amendment’s “anti-establishment” clause.  You might be surprised with what you learn.  I will hand out a learning packet for you to take home for future reference.

It’s cold outside.  Stay warm inside by attending Shabbat services at Congregation Beth Shalom!

B’yedidut,

Rabbi Michael
