Jan. 6, 2022 Dear Friends,  One year ago today we experienced one of the darkest hours in American history.  Not to put a dampener on the new year, but we're obliged to discuss this awful anniversary.   I'll ask for your thoughts after our Zoom Shabbat Evening Service (7:30 PM).    We begin our second semester of "The Rise and Fall of Ancient Israel" at our Zoom Shabbat Morning Torah Study (10:00 AM). The epic story of Samuel, Saul and David will occupy the next 5-6 weeks- it is grand and there is so much resonance with events today. You are welcome to join us even if you never have before.    Our bi-monthly Zoom Adas Emuno Book Clubmeets on Monday (7:30 PM). Topic: The Magician of Lublin, a classic novel by the Nobel prize winning novelist, Isaac Bashevis Singer. Shabbat shalom, Rabbi Schwartz
