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.

Rabbi Levinsky Sermon: May 22

Today is Shavuot, a holiday I had no idea existed before a Jewish Studies course in college. Even rabbis have a learning curve. This holiday, which is traditionally the day the Torah was given at Sinai, teaches us that joy is not separate from spiritual life. In Jewish tradition, revelation is not only something that […]

Rabbi Levinsky Sermon: May 1

Tonight, we dedicate our new Torah covers. What exactly does dedication mean in the Jewish tradition? You may be surprised, but the Hebrew word for “dedication” is Chanukah. In Judaism, it marks a beginning. The rededication of the Temple after it was desecrated by the Greeks in the Chanukkah story. The dedication of a home, Chanukat HaBayit. […]
