Many Faces, Many Voices "It's special to have a third generation of our family here, and to all have our own space. My mom has a place on Friday nights, and we have Kahal on Saturday mornings. Having this welcoming and comfortable community is the biggest attraction for me."- Anita Jacobson, with husband Ed Feldman

RSVP now.Taking Action about Healthcare -- What We Can Learn from PinchasJuly 10 during Kabbalat Shabbat Services, beginning at 6:30 p.m.(Sponsored by the Just Congregations Healthcare Team)Beth Emet's vigorous commitment to social action has taken on new dimensions through our participation in the Reform Movement's Just Congregations initiative, and at Kabbalat Shabbat on July 10, the D'var Torah will relate the message of the parasha to the goals of our Just Congregations healthcare team. Just Congregations is built on a community-organizing model that believes in the power of sharing personal experiences. Conversations with over one-hundred members of Beth Emet revealed that healthcare is one of the key issues that "keep folks awake at night". This inspired the formation of the healthcare team and its plans to seek healthcare improvements, both across the membership and outside Beth Emet. Congregant Larry Kaufman, who has long been involved with healthcare issues in both professional and volunteer leadership roles, will present the D'var on behalf of the Healthcare team.
