Shofar Factory, "A Tale of Two Soldiers", and TORAH DEDICATION Celebration
You know the old line “when it rains, it pours”? Well, the last couple of days I’ve felt like that was talking about my life.
Two very big events happening this coming weekend – the Torah Dedication Celebration on Sunday, and the “Tale of Two Soldiers” Friday night. In addition to two weddings of alumni this past weekend. And the Shofar Factory tomorrow. And a Food for Thought event (“The Mystical Alphabet”) next week. And Sinai Scholars starting up again this week. And Birthright registration opening today.
Not to forget the High Holidays just around the corner.
But better to be overloaded with good things happening than to have nothing happening at all.
Just wanted to make sure everybody realizes: A Torah Scroll Dedication is a very big deal. It’s something that comes up fairly rarely. We’d love for you to be there to celebrate with us. So mark it on your calendar, invite your family and friends. And come ready to dance and sing!
