7pm Bible study Thursday, service cancelled Friday

Friends, I'm feeling fine but have tested positive for Covid, so I can't lead Friday's service. Fortunately, Zoom stops most germs, so we will have our regular Bible-Torah study class Friday. Hope you can join us. - Rabbi David

COMFORTING WORDS IN HARD TIMES

Isaiah 49:16, from one of the Haftarot of comfort read this time of year.

We're in that time between the commemoration of the destruction of the Temples and the Jewish New Year. The early rabbis selected passages from Isaiah to be read in the weeks after Tisha B'Av and Rosh Hashanah. They offer words of comfort and consolation for the Jewish exiles in Babylonia. They have been seen as a source of hope for us as we go through the self-examination for the coming High Holidays. 

Please join other members of your Nafshenu community this Thursday (7-8pm) for a look at Isaiah, and what the author has to offer us about the possibility for positive change.
