Shabbat Shalom from Rabbi Shafrin! 12/17/2021
Dear Kol Rinah Family,
We want to make sure that Shabbat is a time where everyone can gather and participate, whether in person or via our livestream. Since the eruv (which permits carrying objects outside on Shabbat) is still down due to ongoing construction, we would like offer anyone who would like to bring things to Kol Rinah in advance of Shabbat a place to store them. People can bring things to the building before Shabbat that they may need while the eruv is down. Please call the office to make arrangements. (Note Erev is Now up for this Shabbat)

Yashar Koach again to the incredible Deborah Sacks Mintz, our scholar in residence this past weekend. It was an uplifting, powerful, and deeply moving experience to be able to come together and share in some wonderful learning and davening.Thank you to everyone who came to daven with her over Shabbat (even through the tornado!), to learn together, and to fill our synagogue with all of your wonderful energy!
For those of you who were not able to participate, and for all of us who were enthralled by the music Deborah infused into our services, here are links to a few of the new melodies we learned and sang throughout the weekend:
Makom Bina
Sunrise Nigun
Min Hameitzar
Ramzor Nigun
Miriam Haneivia
plus, Joey Weisenberg's L'eila , just released this past week.
This afternoon, Rabbi Arnow will be leading Torah Talk at noon (12:00pm) delving into some fascinating pieces from Parashat Vayechi. We look forward to a wonderful discussion with a great group of learners of all ages and backgrounds. (see link below)
Tonight, we will be coming together for Kabbalat Shabbat services in-person in the sanctuary at 6:00 pm. (see link below).
Candle lighting tonight is at 4:24 pm.
Tomorrow morning, we will be gathering together for Shabbat morning services in the sanctuary starting at 9:30am. We are so blessed to have the shelicha (emissary from Israel) at the J, Roni Lavi, who will be speaking during the servce. After completing her Israeli Army service, Roni arrived in St. Louis in September 2020. She will be talking about the life paths that young Israelis are taking, and will reflect as well on her time here in St. Louis. (see link below).
Parshat Vayechi
Torah Reading: Genesis 47:28-50:26
Haftarah: 1 Kings 2:1-12
Shabbat Mincha (the afternoon service) will begin at 4:15 pm, followed by a little learning, Ma'ariv (evening services), and Havdallah.
