Please note the time change!!!!!
Hey Friends,

You were there.

I was there.

It was a big day for the Jewish people and a big day for all creation.

Shavuot is the Jewish Holiday that marks the G-dly revelation at Mt. Sinai more than 3300 years ago.

It was that very day that the ultimate purpose and meaning of creation was disclosed by G-d Almighty to His people, and through them, to the world at large.

The blueprint G-d gifted to all of us is His Torah.

Living by the Torah’s instructions elevates our own lives, our families and the world around us.

Let’s take this opportunity to come to Shul and hear the 10 Commandments being read from the Torah Scroll.

We were all there back then.

We can all be here again this year.

May our recommitment to G-d and His Torah be the final merit to “tip the scale” and bring Moshiach Now!!

A message from Rabbi Yehudah:
Chanukah is personally one of my favorite holidays—and no, it’s not only because of the amazing fresh latkes, the donuts that I just can’t seem to take my eyes off of, or even the coziness and warmth of my home as we sit around with family and watch the candles burning bright. These are all great reasons to love this holiday, but for me the message of Chanukah is a lot deeper than that.

Chanukah represents the day of rest (“חנו־כה” — they rested on the 25th), the calm after the storm. Mattisyahu and his brothers rose up against their foes, the Hellenistic Empire, and despite being few in number they were victorious—the ultimate underdogs history has ever seen. As they reclaimed the Holy Temple and realized the desecration that had taken place, thinking all was lost, they found one jug of oil, pure and untouched by the impurities that surrounded them.

To me, this is the clear miracle of this joyous holiday—one we know to be filled with family, presents :) and great oily food. It wasn’t necessarily the “many into the hands of the few,” or even the fact that although the oil was only enough to last one night it lasted eight days. It was the very fact that when all seemed lost, when the Jews were picking up the pieces at their lowest, they were able to find that little jug of oil that remained.

My friends, every single one of us has a jug of oil—has the G-dly potential for infinity. And even in the darkest of times, when we can’t see a way out, comes Chanukah to remind us of our potential for greatness, our potential to pick up the fragments around us and hold each other up high.

This Chanukah we should all have the opportunity to spend time with family, friends, and community—and merit not just to uncover our inner light but to be that light for someone else.
