Hope you’re enjoying Passover! We hope that you will join us for a very special Pausing in the Wilderness service next Friday, April 5 (7:30 at LCHS). As you know, the Pausing service is always about the Jews’ journey through the wilderness. Well, we’re coming to the end of our own initial (18-year) journey, and getting ready to start a whole new journey in our own building. So the April 5 service will be all about remembering the journey, and celebrating the last 18 years in song, dance, stories, and much more!
So here is the part where we need your help. The celebration would not be complete without reminiscences about some of the great things that have happened to us as a group over the last 18 years - funny, exciting, moving things. So we need you to come and share your stories! Maybe you were at the first Shir Hadash service. Or that service, the first year, with the puppet lady. Or the Purim service a few years later with the guy in the loincloth. (Seriously. He didn’t tell anyone beforehand.) Or you were at our concert with Debbie Friedman. Or you were one of the first adults to celebrate their bar or bat mitzvah with us. Or maybe you want to tell about how Shir Hadash people showed up at your parent’s shiva. Or you want to share how Shir Hadash helped your child to celebrate an incredible bar or bat mitzvah. Or, maybe you don’t have a story, but you want to hear all of these other stories. (Including the ones about the puppet lady and the guy in the loincloth.) But you get the picture - come and share!
So, don’t miss this - it’ll only happen once! And, of course, please bring something for the oneg. And it shouldn’t be 18 years old...
