Congregation Sholom

Congregation Sholom will hold services via Zoom with Rabbi Eric Dangott on Friday, Nov. 11, at 6:30 p.m. Rabbi Mike Mymon will lead the hybrid services on Saturday, Nov. 12, in Clubhouse 3, Room 9, and via Zoom at 10 a.m.

Saturday's Torah portion will be Vayeira from the book of Genesis. “Vayera” (he appeared) opens as guests inform Abraham that his wife Sarah will give birth. Despite Abraham’s attempts to convince God otherwise, God destroys the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Sarah gives birth to Isaac, and Abraham sends away Hagar and Ishmael. At God’s command, Abraham prepares to sacrifice Isaac, but an angel of God tells Abraham to offer a ram instead.

The book club will meet via Zoom Wednesday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m. The group is reading 'Conversations With My Father' by Bronx-born critically acclaimed author Grace Paley.
