Message from Rabbi Berman

In lieu of May Tidings

Friends,
 
As you may know, because of the current “Shelter-in-Place” situation, there is no Tidings for the month of May.
 
In its stead, we are giving you in this email some of the information that would have been in the May Tidings.
 
But first, let me just say that we had a perfectly lovely Zoom “Happy Hour” last night with over 30 connections (meaning about 50 people). It was really great seeing all of you, even if it was virtual. Thanks to Doris Jacobson and Barry Klatzker for the idea, and to Cantor Zev for leading the singing. Now, true, there is a small delay on Zoom, so no two people were singing in synch, but it was just amazing to hear everyone! It didn’t actually sound that different than we would if we were actually in the same room!
 
This will now be a regular event on Thursdays, so make sure you look for the Zoom invite in your email inbox for the time. It’s a great way to stay in touch, share things (not viruses!) in a group setting and just “be” with our congregational family. We look forward to seeing you there.
 
It’s an old Chinese curse: “You should live in interesting times.” Well, that’s what we’re doing, and the idea is to make the most of it. Are you calling your friends to just check up on them? Oh, and PLEASE, if you find someone in a situation where they need some help, let me know. We are all in this together, and whatever the grand plan is, our job in it is to keep it going. So stay in touch with each other and with me. You can always leave a message for me at the office phone, or email me at tbe.rabjab@gmail.com. I’m here for you.
 
And: Just a reminder, our Shabbat and Holiday morning services will continue to livestream from our website www.tbe-oc.org at 9:30 AM. Cantor Zev and I will be there and we’ll be missing you in person, so join us online.

See you in cybershul,
Rabbi Berman
