George Gershwin wrote “Summertime and the livin’ is easy”.
Unfortunately this summer was anything but “easy” as we watched our brothers and sisters being attacked by missiles while Hamas vowed to destroy all of Israel and its people.
As this is being written, Israel and Hamas have agreed to an open-ended truce. May it last longer than the previous ceasefires. With Rosh Hashanah around the corner, we must be optimistic that the new year will bring us all peace, good health and good times.
What a better way to start the new year than with our Cantorial Concert to be held on September 30th at 7:00 pm. The theme this year is “From Bible to Broadway” with some of the finest cantors around the world performing. This evening promises to be one that will never be forgotten. Join us for an evening of entertainment and enjoyment.
Always informative and thought provoking, Rabbi Shoham and Father Walsh will be speaking on “The Power of Faith” in October.
Also, back by popular request, “The Suburban” magazine editor and founder and president of the Institute for Public Affairs of Montreal, Beryl Wajsman, will be our guest speaker at Beth Zion on October 29 on the topic of the next Canadian Federal Elections.
More information about these events and many others will be announced at a later date.
Please join us for our exciting programs.
We would like to wish everyone a very healthy, peaceful and happy new year.
L’Shana Tova.
