Shavua tov, dear friends.
A message of gratitude this week. Friday afternoon I received two messages about one of our members being in ICU. He was dying. I needed to go immediately to the hospital. Dropping my groceries, my plans for dinner and for the rest of the day, I drove to the Jubilee and stayed with the family until death was declared that evening.
Meanwhile, I texted Aaron to see if he could substitute for me on Zoom at Kabbalat Shabbat. I texted Marilyn to ask if she was willing to put her new learning to the test and lead the Amidah prayers and ask others to participate. When I finally got home Aaron told me about what sounded to be a wonderful service with people participating and engaging. My heart is so full as I write these words. Thank you all. This is who we are.
Love to all,
Rabbi Lynn
