Greetings from The Hebrew Congregation.

As COVID restrictions were lightened, we began to arrange for Oneg Shabbat services for the Jewish Community. These events were very well attended, with more than 20 people in attendance at each service. These services were led by Elizabeth Siegel-Loder and her father, Arthur Siegel, who with his wife Suzanne, were spending time here from the US. The services were recited in a most melodious manner. Services were followed by refreshments in the community hall.
Every Friday evening, we have Kabbalat Shabbat services, where the children go up to the Bimah to recite the Shema.
Every Shabbat morning there are between 4-6 attendees who spend at least an hour discussing and dissecting the weekly Parsha.
We are well underway with the preparations for the High Holiday services which will once again be combined ones- Hebrew Congregation and Havura—at the Synagogue. A combination of texts will be used.
The members of the Synagogue wish all members of the Jewish community a very Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous Shana Tova for 5782.
