Shabbat Shalom from Rabbi Shafrin; the Eruv Remains Down! 11/12/2021
Dear Kol Rinah Family,
Yesterday was Veteran's Day, falling on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. In our own community, we are blessed to have many veterans who have served in a variety of branches of the armed forces both here and in the Land of Israel. To all those who have served and continue to serve in order to ensure the safety and freedom of us all, we thank you for your service.
In honor of all those who have served, we will be participating in Veteran's Shabbat this Saturday morning. Members of the Kol Rinah community who have served in the Armed Forces will be participating and speaking about their service and how it connects with their own sense of Jewish values, duty, and care for others.
We are so proud of all of our service members, and are delighted to celebrate and honor their service this Shabbat. While we, each week, pray for peace, for a day when war and bloodshed cease, there is no more noble effort than standing up to defend your family, your community, and your nation from harm.
