Hello, members and friends of Congregation Beth Sholom,

We are now entering the month of Kislev. The defining feature of this month is of course Hannukah. Right now we could all use a little light to brighten up these long dark days. As we get deeper into winter the Covid crisis continues to grow deeper with it. Hopefully the light that shines from our Hannakiahs this year will lead us closer to a vaccine. Until it does, we have each other to rely on and I have seen so many people as bright as a Shamesh candle, as they shine a way to help others. We are a supportive and meaningful community and I encourage you to join us for our programming and reach out to us if you need extra support or help.

 

We have two new announcements in this month’s edition of Kol Sholom. First, after this Kol Sholom, we will be sending our newsletter through Shulcloud exclusively to our Associate and Full members. So, if you enjoy getting this newsletter and have yet to sign up for membership, then I encourage you to do so at this web page: https://www.frozenchosen.org/membership Our calendar and most of our programs are still available to discover on our website for members and non-members alike here https://www.frozenchosen.org/calendar

 

Our second announcement is a brand new program called Torah Uncensored. Torah Uncensored is a religious school for grown-ups. Rabbi Abram and Rabbi Emeritus Rabbi Oblath will be teaching Bible lessons that you did not learn as children. Each class will be a unique perspective of the Bible; either studying new pedagogues of biblical interpretations or focusing on difficult texts in the Bible. These classes will be held on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month at 11:30 am. Members can enjoy these classes for free. Non members can purchase a season pass for $60 which is $5 per class. You can register here https://www.frozenchosen.org/event/torah-uncensored.html If you are a member, make sure you signed in to Shulcloud before you register.



I hope everyone stays safe during these troubling times and remember that you are not alone and do not need to suffer alone. Our community here is to support each other, even if we can’t physically be together we still have lots of ways to gather. Take care.

 

Rabbi Abram Goodstein
