Summary |
Dear Kol Rinah Family,
As many of us are returning from our breaks, vacations, or just quiet time and jumping into the start of 2023, I hope each of you have many things you can look forward to. A new year feels often like a clean slate, a progression towards exciting endeavors and experiences.
For me, I am just excited to see many of you again soon, whether in person at services, over a Zoom meeting or class, or just around St. Louis! Luckily, we have a number of really great opportunites to connect this month, especially on Shabbat.
This week, we will be having our Kol HaMishpachah Family Shabbat Service, which begins at 10:30 am in the chapel and is geared toward our families with elementary age children. The last few times, we have had fantastic attendance and a lot of fun, so we hope you'll be able to join us this week!
We will also be hearing the voices of a myriad of new members during our Enchanting Shabbat in the main service starting at 9:00 am. I am thrilled to hear new people leading a variety of pieces of our Shabbat morning davening, including our Torah reading!
In the weeks ahead, we will be celebrating our incoming and ourgoing Board members, having a Tot Shabbat for our youngest members, and gathering for a special Kol Chadash musical service, so stay tuned each week, or check your emails or the website, for all the details.
I wish you all a happy and healthy start to 2023 and I can't wait to see you soon!
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Scott Shafrin
