Congregation Sholom

Rabbi Rachel Axelrad will stream Friday night services at 6:30 on July 17 on The Congregation Sholom of Leisure World Facebook page. To join, select the “Rooms” tab, then click on “Jewish Activities” and “Join to Restart.” Cantor Marla Barugel will be on Facebook for the Saturday morning services at 9:30 July 18.

On Sunday July 19, Congregation Sholom will have an online game night run by Sandy Gefner starting at 4 p.m. To join, go to Facebook, search for Congregation Sholom, click on rooms, then click on Bingo.

The book club is reading “The Weight of Ink,” by Rachel Kadish. It is a very long book, which is the perfect way to spend time while sheltering in place. The book club will meet on July 21 at 1:30 p.m. in the book club room on the Congregation Sholom Facebook page to discuss. The group will also watch an interview with the author of the next book, “The Book of V,” by Anna Solomon. This book describes the lives of three women, living in different times, who share a common bond.

Congregation Sholom will have a membership drive in August. More information will follow in the weeks to come.

Those who are interested in becoming a member so they can watch the live steam services on Facebook can call Ron Yaffee at (562) 430-7040.
