This Shabbat is one of the few throughout the year that is given a special name.

The day we read Parshat Beshalach is called Shabbat Shira (the Shabbat of Song), commemorating the glorious and awe-inspiring event when, after the miraculous deliverance from the Egyptians at the Red Sea, the Children of Israel simultaneously burst forth into a song of praise to God.

However, beyond giving praise to God for miraculously saving us, the concept of shira (song) has a far deeper significance in life.

If you have not been to Synagogue for a while, this Shabbat is a great time to get reacquainted.

Cantor Sam Levine has a remarkable line-up of musical treats for our collective enjoyment during and after the service, involving children of all ages and special guests.

Join us for a morning of community, worship and song.

Shabbat shalom,

Michael Sucher
President
