Erev Shabbat with Marty Plotkin (July 2024)

July 26, 2024 7:30 pm

IN-PERSON ONLY

This Friday evening at Kerem Shalom, in the midst of summer’s heat, we will gather in the coolness of our sanctuary to welcome Shabbat.

The Torah portion is Pinchas, from the book of Bamidbar (Numbers). Pinchas is a grandson of Aaron who is rewarded for his zealous enforcement of God’s commandments. It’s not a pretty story, and it makes one wonder whether and when zealotry is a good thing.

Please join KS member Marty Plotkin as we celebrate Shabbat with song, prayer, warm companionship, and thoughtful conversation about the value and risk of passionate commitment.
