This week begins Rabbi Bellino's class in Avot d'Rabbi Natan. This text is a commentary and elaboration on Pirkei Avot that was compiled during the Geonic Period. This late Midrash provides explanations of most of the aphorisms of Avot, as well as hagiographic on the lives of many of the sages quoted. Class meets on Shabbat, one hour before Mincha.
We thank all those who helped make Shavuot a great success. We are especially grateful to:
The Lebewohl Family for sponsoring and arranging the food for our delicious dinner and kiddushim.
Caroline Tell & Evan Gasman for providing us with the large supply of Ben & Jerry's ice-cream.
Ellen Cherrick for sponsoring the beautiful Shavuot flowers in memory of her parents.
Annie Watman and Cori Robinson for organizing the Women's Wine and Cheese Party.
We ask that you please remember to pay for your Shavuot Aliya and Yizkor commitments. You may do so here.
Now that Shavuot is over, we can fully devote our attention to our Annual Dinner. This year's Dinner will be held on Monday June 22nd, at The Brotherhood Synagogue.
