It is that time of year again! Passover is the pivotal festival in Judaism and it is a transition from being a motley crew of related tribes (and their converts) to the hosts of the L-rd. Once we were delivered from Egyptian bondage and arrived at the foot of the holy mountain, we were organized into banners which camped around the tabernacle, once it was constructed and consecrated. Our people have always had a roller coaster ride when it came to walking with the L-rd. The L-rd chose the most stubborn, stiff necked people on the planet to show the […]

Last weekend, hundreds of Jewish Pittsburghers gathered to observe the National Refugee Shabbat, organized by the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS). Drawing on the themes of wandering and welcome found in Lech Lecha (last week’s Torah portion), HIAS organizers hoped that synagogues observing Refugee Shabbat would commit to adopt refugee families and help them settle into their new lives in America. One week later, the same Jewish community that had gathered to show compassion to strangers was rewarded with a hailstorm of bullets. The perpetrator, a domestic terrorist, walked into a synagogue building shared by three congregations, interrupting a joyous bris with rage and […]

Last Monday, June 25, our friend, Barnett Eades passed away in hospital at the age of 79. He contracted hospital pneumonia while he was being treated for an infection around his feeding tube. He fought hard, quietly and with great dignity and is now home with the L-rd. He and Molly were good friends of our shul and he will be missed. The funeral will be held on Saturday, June 30th at 10:30 am at the Zion Apostolic Church, which meets in Calvary Community Church (8704 Millwoods Road). I have just spoken to Molly and any of you who knew […]
