Congregation Sholom

Congregation Sholom will hold services via Zoom with Rabbi Mike Mymon on Friday, May 23, at 6:30 p.m. Rabbi Mymon will lead the hybrid service on Saturday, May 24, in Clubhouse 3, Room 9, and Zoom at 10 a.m.

Saturday’s Torah reading will be the double portion of Behar-Bechukotai from Leviticus. Behar (On The Mountain) details the laws of the sabbatical year when working the land is prohibited and debts are forgiven. It also sets out laws of indentured servitude and of the Jubilee year when property reverts to its original ownership. Bechukotai (In My Laws) is the final portion in the book of Leviticus. It begins by describing blessings that follow obedience to God’s laws and curses that come with the desecration of them. It ends with laws of vows and consecration of people and property. To receive a Zoom invitation, contact Jeff Sacks at 714-642-0122.

The book club will meet via Zoom at 7 p.m. on May 21 to discuss “The Awakening” by Isaac Babel. It is a fascinating story of Jewish survival.
