| Way back in 1957, my first grade class did a play about time and the calendar. I was thrilled to get the role of “September.” Mrs. Korb told us to dress appropriately and think of something to say about what happens during our month. I wore a crisply ironed plaid school dress, with a white Peter Pan collar and big bow that my father tied in the back. I talked about how wonderful September is because that is the month that school starts. I was not prepared for all the ribbing I got from the other kids who already knew that it wasn’t cool to love school, or at least to pretend that you don’t like school. Those kids didn’t convince me though. I still love September, and the sweet anticipation of new learning and growth.
This calendar year, the Hebrew month of Elul during which we prepare for the High Holy Days begins on the evening of September 3. Senior choir rehearsals begin on Tuesday, September 10. It’s the perfect time to join choir and learn more about the soul-stirring music of our High Holy Day services.
On Wednesday September 25 at 6:30 p.m. there will be a zoom info session about the exciting musical mission to Argentina in February 2025. This video tour of the places we will be visiting is open to anyone who might want to come! Register at this link:

Let’s learn and grow together as we prepare to enter the new year of 5785!
B’ahava, (with love) |
