Animal Lovers, Mark Your Shabbat Calendar!
Next week, on Friday, October 23 during our streaming Shabbat service, we will offer a special blessing for our pets on the week that we read the story of Noah and his ark in our Torah portion. We'll ask you to share favorite photos of your pets in the comments on Facebook, and we'll have a chance to introduce our furry friends during our Virtual Oneg. For any who may be missing a pet, consider honoring their memory with a leaf or a stone on the Pet Memorial Tree in our courtyard at Kol Ami.
