In Tribute to MLK Jr. Day
We celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life in just a few days. His relationship with the Jewish community was marked by his friendship with Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. When King asked the Rabbi if he had found time to pray, Heschel famously answered that he “felt his legs were praying” as he stood with King and walked with King in the marches of the mid 1960s.

Masking Recommendation
Dear Congregation Shomrei Emunah,
As we are all about to embark on end of the year celebrations and many of us plan travel, I wanted to take a minute to remind you that while there is no vaccine requirement and mask wearing at Shomrei remains optional, both the Medical Committee and I are becoming very concerned about the rise of COVID/FLU/RSV transmission, which, if the last two years are a guide, tends to peak in early January.
