A message from Rabbi Newburge - Shabbat Flames

2007-10-26T11:22:00.000-04:00

As we gather this Shabbat, each in our own communities, we are united by the grief and anguish we feel over the destruction of homes and lives by fire this week in Southern California.

In the Talmud our rabbis write, “Although fire comes down from Heaven, it is a commandment also for man to bring fire.” The commandment regards a sacred flame, like the flame of our Shabbat candles (and not the destructive fire of the arsonist).

On behalf of those suffering in California please light the sacred Shabbat candles, one for each member of your household (two candles are required, more are permitted), and please consider donating at least $1 for each candle lit.

The money collected will be used to purchase gift cards (grocery stores, Target, Walgreens, etc) for those who have lost their homes. Please direct your donations to the Temple office.

We wish you and yours a safe and peaceful Shabbat Shalom.

Celebrate Shabbat! This week we start a new tradition. Join us!

2007-10-08T17:31:00.000-04:00

Dear Temple Emanuel Family,

Celebrate Shabbat with us on Friday!

There will be two wonderful services this Friday evening, October 12th:

6 pm is our brand new “Come As You Are Shabbat”- come in your business suit, or straight from school in your jeans and sneakers; we will welcome Shabbat with a warm, informal, and participatory service led by Rabbi Geri Newburge. This 45 minute Service will add to your Shabbat experience.

8 pm is our regular Shabbat service, with Rabbi David leading a fascinating study session on the beginning of Genesis.

Whichever service you choose, please join us for dinner at 6:45 pm. Dinner is just $18 a family ($5 pp). RSVP is essential by Wednesday, October 10^th to receptionist@templeemanuel.org

Can’t wait to see you on Friday!
