Text & Torah (& Bagels Too)
| Author | |
| Date Added |
Join us for bagels, fruit and coffee – and an engaging discussion of special Shabbatot at 10 am tomorrow, March 5. The special Shabbat before Purim involves the story of Amalek and the command to wipe out evil. Why before Purim? Because Haman was an Amalakite. Come learn about this and other special Shabbatot from Torah study leader Diane Chaplin.
We also plan to say Kaddish so if you can come, please email Teri at teriruchpdx@gmail.com so we know we’ll have a minyan or more. Thanks!
