ETZ CHAIM BOOK CLUB
We will be reading the historical fiction book, The Teacher of Lost Orphans, by M.Z. Daskal. The author will be joining us for the book discussion via Zoom on Monday, July 20 at 7:00 p.m. Copies can be picked up at the home of Merilee and Josh Maeir, 8 Deborah Sampson Street, Sharon next week. The books were purchased by Larry and Susan Cable to honor the memory of their daughter, Michelle Cable, Michal Freidal a”h bas Eliezer, whose yartzeit will be the day of the book talk, the 6th of Av. May her memory be for a blessing. Contact Merilee with any thoughts or questions at melmaeir@gmail.com. All are welcome to join our book club.
REFUAH SHELAIMA
Our prayers are with the armed forces of the United States and Israel, for their swift victory and for their safe return home in peace. May the people of Israel see a turnaround of events from darkness to light. We pray for the healing of the wounded members of the IDF, those who have been hurt in terrorist attacks, the Israeli survivors from 10/7/23 and this Iran War. We pray for the healing of our own congregational: family Heidi Goldblatt, Rachel Chana bas Menucha; Robert Dell, Chana Reuven ben Leah; Tzila Pass, Tzila Chava bas Rachel; and Marve Rudenstein, Menachem Yitzchak ben Raitza., and Burton Cusner. May they all heal soon and completely!
