From Shabbat in Paris 2 to Shema & Listening Better


Dear Haverim:

*TODAY, Friday, August 8, 8 p.m., SHABBAT IN PARIS 2.

 Come join us as we continue our soiree celebrating French Jewish history, beginning in 1806, with Napoleon’s establishment of the Second Sanhedrin, through Alfred Dreyfus, and France’s first Jewish Prime Minister, Leon Blum, who served both before and after WW2, and was interned in a Concentration Camp between terms. Meet Chagall, Soutine, and Modigliani, all were important Jewish artists in France in the early 20th century, plus the famous French Jewish actress Sarah Bernhardt. I will share photos from our most recent family trip, including a lovely afternoon in Le Marais, Paris’ Jewish neighborhood. Enjoy kosher French cuisine and wine during the oneg.  Also meet our two Noa’s, serving as shelichot for the JCC over the summer, and learn how YOU can become a host family for JCC’s Israeli shelichim next year.

*TOMORROW, Saturday, August 9, 9:30 a.m. SHABBAT SERVICES. Parshat V’etchanan, features TWO giants in Jewish liturgy: The Ten Commandments  and The Shema.  This week’s sermon is titled, Shema! What Does it Take to REALLY Listen?

Please plan on spending this Shabbat with us at Congregation Beth Shalom.

Merci !

Rabbi Michael
