בָּרוּךְ דַּיַּן הָאֱמֶת

Blessed is the True Judge

עֵץ-חַיִּים הִיא לַמַּחֲזִיקִים בָּהּ, וְתֹמְכֶיהָ מְאֻשָּׁר

It is a tree of life to those who grasp onto it, and whoever holds on to it is happy.

(Proverbs 3:18)

First an invitation, and then some reflection.

Invitation

This Friday night (a musical Kabbalat Shabbat with the Alle Brider Band) is the first time we will join together as a community after the horrific murders at Congregation Tree of Life in Pittsburg last Shabbat.  Our service, which will follow the regular form of our Friday evening service, will be an opportunity for prayer, song and healing in response to this horrific event.

We are also reaching out to the wider Gloucester community to join us in solidarity.  Since Shabbat, I have received many expressions of concern and support.  I expect I am not the only one. Today, leaving the synagogue, I saw a car…

Join us tomorrow, Nov. 1 at MAGMA as we dance our final week to the fun music of Pink Martini.  If you don’t know the group, they are very eclectic.  Something for everyone.  Here are a few links to their music.  Sway  and Bitty Boppy Betty  Come check it out.

And join us at the Rose Baker Center on Mondays at 1 pm for a free weekly Nia class.

Hope to see you soon!  Namaste, Linda

Nia is a no-impact, movement class that draws from a number of disciplines including yoga, Tae Kwon Do, Jazz, Alexander Technique, Tai Chi. Routines are created for safety and joy, all while getting a great cardiovascular workout.  Hmm.. fun, safety, good music, joy and cardiovascular health all in one package. Come experience this healthy and mindful fitness experience for yourself.  For more info, visit my web site
