Shabbat Shalom from Rabbi Shafrin! 2/18/2022
Dear Kol Rinah Family,
Please note: This Shabbat, we will not have services this Friday night or Saturday afternoon, but we will have services Saturday morning in the sanctuary. More details below.
Here is a link to Rabbi Arnow's beautiful sermon from last Shabbat on Parshat Tetzaveh, which connected the regularity and predictability of our ancient sacrificial offerings and modern ritual worship with the ways we long for those pillars of time that help us to feel secure each and every day:
