Congregation Shaare Tefilla | Rabbi's Resources

Dear Shaare Family,

Once again, I am full of gratitude and awe at the amazing Yom Kippur experience we had together. Every person who was in shul made them special by your presence, but there were also people who worked especially hard to make these days run smoothly. Because the thank you's were on the other side of the flier advertising the upcoming Shabbat of Song with Shulem Lemmer, it’s possible not everyone saw their names, so I’m reproducing the list here. Once again, I ask forgiveness of anyone whose names I accidentally omitted.

Last week’s Mystery Shul Of The Week

Yasher Koach to all those who correctly identified the mystery shul of the week last week as Congregation Ezra Bessaroth of Seattle, founded in 1914 by Jews from the Island of Rhodes. 








Mystery shul of the week:

This shul/community center/minyan factory/popular wedding venue has a seasonally appropriate name. Name the shul, and the city in which it is located.


 

Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach,

Rabbi Ariel Rackovsky
