Shabbat Shalom BEBY NEXTgen Community! 

Hey Everyone,

I'm feeling a little in shock. This week has been a whirwind. I have no idea where the days and the time went, and I have not stopped thinking about our community all week. I've been trying to reach out to so many people personally and I know there are so many people who are important to me who I haven't called yet or enough.

Life, family, school, work, friends - it is all happening, all at the same time, and without shul on Shabbat, it really feels like there just isn't the time to relax and be with you all. 

So, let's fix that. We ALL need community right now - as much as possible.

Our community has FAMILY SHABBAT every month. We can't do it in the shul, but we can do it virtually. So, for the second time, there will be a 

BEBY FAMILY Pre-SHABBAT Program on ZOOM!

Date: Friday, May 1, 2020
Time: 5-5:30pm
Where: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84625061553
Who: Parents, Kids, Grandparents, Friends
 
This past week we celebrated modern Israel's 72nd birthday on Yom HaAtzma'ut, so let's join together with an Israel theme!

- Am Yisrael Chai
- Hinei Ma Tov
- Kol HaOlam Kulo
- Od Yavo Shalom Aleinu (Shalom Salaam)
- Hatikvah
​​​​​​​- Shabbat Shalom (Hey!)

As always, at 6pm, the Chazzan will be LIVE on the Beth Emeth Facebook page to do an abridged musical kabbalat Shabbat. Tomorrow night he will be doing Havdallah.

The shul is constantly creating more virtual opportunities for learning, praying and connecting. Check out www.beby.org for a full listing and follow us on Facebookto keep up on everything happening at the Virtual Beth Emeth. 

If there is something that YOU want to see, please let me know by replying to this message. We will do our best to bring you what you want.

We, both the shul, but also more personally, Shira Rachel and I, are here for you during this COVID-19 experience. Physical and mental health are primary and we need to do everything possible and utilize every resource available to ensure that we stay healthy.

• improve current programming?
• create new innovative programs?
• bring your expertise to our community?

    SHABBAT SHALOM!!!

TORAH TALK FOR THE TABLE
with Rabbi David

Parshat Acharei Mot/Kedoshim

This week's parashah contains one of the mission statements of the Jewish people. Kedoshim Tihyu Ki Kadosh Ani HaShem - Be Holy, because I, HaShem, am Holy. 

We are a special nation for so many reasons - and different reasons for differnt people. But it is through uniting, together with our individual strengths, that makes us the eternal people that we are.

Discussion Questions

1. What is one of your strengths that makes you stand out?
2. How can you use your strengths to strengthen the Jewish peo​​​​​​​ple?
3. What do you think about when you think about HaShem?​​​​​​​

THIS WEEK

In response to the COVID19 pandemic, all of our programs are on hold. :(
