L'hitraot Joey Videos & Photos
Author | |
Date Added |
Below are links to videos that Steve Birkel and Barbara Gundle made of last week's L'hitraot Joey celebrations. If you missed any of them, you can experience being there by watching a video or two. Or if you attended all of the celebrations, you can replay some of your favorite moments.
You can also watch this slide show about Rabbi Joey, whichTom Berg and Barbara Gundle presented on April 20. And you can see photos from last Thursday night in this April 20 photo album and from last Friday and Saturday in this April 21-22 photo album.
Fortunately, Rabbi Joey and Lisa Rackner are staying in Portland, so our paths will cross again. Apparently there is no word for "good bye" in Hebrew, except "shalom," which is used for both "hello" and "good bye" but really means "peace."
So this is just "L'hitraot" - "See you later, Joey!"

As part of our annual holiday cycle, Havurah members are invited to share our own reflections on the themes and stories of the High Holiday season. In addition to prose or poetry that may be shared on the bima at High Holiday services, we are putting out a call for artistic expressions in any visual medium, including paintings, drawings and photography. We welcome your reflections on any aspect of the High Holidays experience, whether they arise from our tradition’s core concepts of teshuvah (return) or seliḥah (forgiveness), or from any other aspect of your own process of looking inward during the time leading into the holiday season. The Elul and High Holiday Gallery is a project of the High Holidays Committee and the Design Committee, led by Joan Peck and Marcia Suttenberg. -
