Gatherings and Teachings
Saturday, April 28, at 10:30 AM Beit Yakov will hold our first gathering with a musical service led by Achi Ben Shalom. We will open the Torah to Parashah Tazria - Metzora and its passages on health and healing. This April gathering will see the Garden in full bloom so please come and join us.
We have gotten off to a late start in our schedule for Beit Yakov.
As a result of being out of state for much of February and March we missed our traditional first gathering in March; we will try to make it
up as we go along. There will be a pot luck Kiddush following the service; please bring a dish to feed six people. Bob can be reached at (415)456-4354.
The following Shabbat service is May, 26, 2012 with Aryae Coopersmith and Wendy Berk . Our June event is June 23, 2012; and we
will close out our season as is our tradition on October 13, 2012.
This year, in addition to our traditional Shabbat services, we will have, following Kiddush, a gathering to discuss issues of importance to
our community.
