Please join us as Brotherhood leads a special Shabbat morning service that honors many of the men who help keep our community vibrant and strong. Be there as we celebrate passing our traditions from generation to generation (l’dor v’dor) with a diverse lineup of participants.
It is also Shabbat Zachor, which brings attention to the antisemitism we have faced in the past and today. Our speakers will explore the meaning of this special Shabbat.
Special aliyot will honor our past presidents, current leadership, and members who have made major contributions to our success. Services will be led by Steve Ebstein and Danny Mandeau. Torah readers include Jonathan Delatizky, Ben Mintz, Micah Gann, Howard Breslau, Mitch Breslau, Max Breslau, Michael Goldman and Robert Finkel. Our Haftorah reader is David Rozenson.
Celebrate with us at our festive kiddush following the service.
Join us, along with members of Minyan Ma’or and the Walnut Street Minyan, in the sanctuary at 12:45 for a post-kiddush talk from our guest speaker, Rabbi Elan Babchuck.
