Words from our Temple President, Ricki Bauman
June/July 2025
Shalom, Congregants!
As this issue of the Shalom News encompasses June and July, let’s jump right ahead to July.
Rabbi Phil Cohen’s first Erev Shabbat Service will be on Friday night, July 11th at our usual 7:30 pm. the Board of Directors will sponsor an extra special Oneg Shabbat after services in Rabbi Phil’s honor!
The festivities will continue on Saturday evening, July 12th at 7:00 pm. After Rabbi Phil leads
us in a short Havdalah service marking the end of Shabbat, we will have a welcoming Meet and
Greet cocktail party for Rabbi Phil, including some light bites! This event, for Congregants only,
is a golden opportunity to meet and chat with Rabbi Phil and enjoy some good, old-fashioned
Beth Israel hospitality!
We will have other events scheduled for people that are currently not part of our congregation.
L’shalom,
Ricki
