Etz Chayim’s Summer 2010 Newsletter The Shofar
July 19th, Bring your flashlights, We will have a traditonal Tish’a B’av sevices at 7:30pm . This day commemorates the destruction of both the First Temple and Second Temple in Jerusalem, which occurred about 656 years apart, but on the same Hebrew calendar date. Accordingly, the day has been called the “saddest day in Jewish history”.
Scenes from “The Great Wrap.”
April 24th, Rabbi Glusman led a class for the Etz Chayim families on Tefillin. The tefillin used by several of the families were items passed on from generation to generation. With the help of members with lots of wrapping experience our families were able to embrace this wonderful tradition.
Jeep classes will resume on August 18th and coming soon, Rabbi Glusman will be returning for the upcoming 2010-2011 year.
