Synagogue Updates

Shabbat Shalom,

It is an incredibly busy weekend for us (yeah!) and there is something for everyone. A few comments and highlights:

• The Bat Mitzvah family is requesting that those coming to the sanctuary tomorrow for the service be masked. 
• Today's temperature is absolutely beautiful - so come out to the Chapel and Patio tonight for Shabbat services. Join me in sitting outside and enjoying the weather. Or come to the ECC Shabbat where we will celebrate our students and teachers!
• Tomorrow, Rabbi Cooper and Rabbi Skorka will be having a conversation after Shabbat kiddush on Rabbi Skorka's new book.
• Sunday, the ECC has their trike-a-thon to bring the community together and to help fundraise for a new piece of playground equipment. Trike-a-thon will be moved inside for bad weather.
• Lag B'Omer is this Wednesday. Early weather reports are looking good. 

For your Shabbat viewing, here is the d'var torah from Jess, last week's Gil HaMitzvot. I think that Jess did an excellent job describing the type of community that we aspire to be. 

Have a great weekend!

Ken
