Renovation Update: September 10

Monday, September 13, 2021

Renovation update: Work has started on framing walls, HVAC duct work has been added, and new windows have been installed throughout the building. We dug into Gregory Blvd. to install our new water line pipe for the building water supply and also to supply water to our fire sprinkler system. A much needed roof hatch has been added so we can now access the roof without the use of a very tall ladder. Finally, a hole was cut into the roof so our elevator would have enough clearance.

Cultural Christmas This is going to be a fun one. There was a tradition at the congregation that I served in Chicago to involve Christmas carols written by Jews in the service closest to Christmas. There was always a crowd. I’m sure many of you love the cultural aspects of Christmas; by that, I mean […]

Rabbi Levinsky Sermon: December 12

This week’s Torah portion tells the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel. Jacob is alone at the river when the angel appears, and the struggle begins. No name is given, no reason explained—only bodies wrestling in the dark. Fear rises, pain sharpens, exhaustion presses in, yet Jacob continues the struggle, discovering that growth is […]
