Shaloha Chaverim

I would like to personally thank those who have sent in their 5770 membership application early. We appreciate your support. We are looking forward to a unique and highly spiritual experience as we welcome Rabbi Shefa Gold to Kona this High Holy Day season. For more information on Rabbi Shefa, I urge you to visit her Website: http://www.rabbishefagold.com/

Schedule Change: The community event in Waimea with Rabbi Shefa Gold will happen on Monday, September 21 from 7-9pm, not on Wednesday, as mentioned in my last message. To RSVP or to recieve further information on the event, please contact: Vivienne Aronowitz at viviennearonowitz@hawaii.rr.com.

Once again, I would like to remind you that both Friday and Saturday services will be in the Kalani Kai Pavilion this weekend. Also, Cantor Ken has invited anyone who would like to share feedback or be in touch with him to contact him directly at khzncohen@gmail.com.

Below the Shabbat announcement is the newsletter for 2009-9. I have learned a painful lesson about some of my formatting issues. I hope it arrives in your inbox without problems and funny little Eastern European characters, but I can't guarantee this. Apparently, if you compose in Word and paste it into G-mail what you see IS NOT what you get. So, I hope you can read between the lines, if necessary.

With blessings,

Shari

Shabbat Services
Friday August 28, 2009 6:30pm --This Friday evening, we will celebrate Shabbat on the Kalani Kai at the Outrigger Keauhou Beach Resort. We will begin promptly at 6:30. The service will be led by Cantor Kenneth Cohen. Afterward, there will be a Kiddush followed by a potluck supper (no pork or shellfish, please).

Saturday August 29, 2009 10:00am --Services will be once again be held on the Kalani Kai of the Keauhou Beach Resort. Cantor Ken Cohen will lead the service. Shari Berman, Barbara Lewis and Ken Cohen will read from the Torah portion Ki Tetzei, Deuteronomy 21:1—25:19, where seventy-four of the Torah's 613 mitzvot are explained. Among them are the laws for the taking of a beautiful captive, the inheritance rights of the first-born, the wayward and rebellious son, burial and dignity of the dead, the returning of a lost object, sending away the mother bird before taking her young, the duty to erect a safety fence around the roof of one's home, and the various forms of kilayim (forbidden plant and animal hybrids). Shari Berman will lead a short discussion after the reading.
