With All The Tragedy In The World – A Time For Peace

As I write this article, I am still reeling from the tragedies in El Paso and Dayton. Like me, by now you have read too many news stories and editorials, watched too many TV news stories and have developed your own thoughts and position. But that still has not eased the pain and grief in my heart for the innocent victims and for what these senseless acts of hate and terror are doing to the fiber of our country. 

However, I have found a bright spot – a time for peace. For the last year or so the Men’s Club has been hosting Kabbalat Shabbat services on the first Friday of the month at the Brentmoor Retirement Community in University City. We always have a minyan and the participants are incredibly grateful for a chance to once again experience the beauty and significance of the Kabbalat Shabbat service. Several members of our Brentmoor minyan have been moved to tears. This minyan is open to EVERYONE. So, some first Friday, please feel free to join us at 4pm in the Continental Room at the Brentmoor. Share this bright spot time for peace.

This picture was taken at the Kabbalat Shabbat service on August 2, 2019. I’m sure if you look closely, you will see familiar faces.
