Passover Message

As Passover approaches and we prepare to gather around the Seder table and share this powerful story that has shaped our traditions, values and history, the message that it inspires us with today, is more important than ever.

Let us pray that the miracles that we celebrate should be repeated and the hostages should all be returned home and peace should be restored in Israel and everywhere else around the world where it is needed.

May the obstacles and challenges as formidable as they seem, be overcome with the blessings and determination we derive from this holiday, and may we succeed in continuing to share the values of Judaism that have shaped our ancestors journey for generations, with our children and their journey forward for a brigh… Read More »

Thoughts at the Wedding

 

As we stood overlooking the water and inlets of Miami and the Atlantic Ocean, and the beautiful Chassidic melodies played in the background, the bride (my sister in law Chana) and groom, Eitan, stood under the Chuppah and began their journey of building a Jewish home and family together.

As the traditional blessings were given to the couple and everyone wished for all the happiness and blessings in the world for Chana and Eitan, the remarkable ways of how they met, how their spark was lit, and how this relationship all began, were a powerful reminder of the Divine Providence, that was pulling all the strings and moving all the pieces, so that this groom and bride and their respective journeys will come together and become… Read More »

Why & How my Grandparents Saves Jewish Families in the Holocaust

 

Join us this Shabbat, to hear Klod Melka's powerful story of how his his grandparents saved four Jewish families from the Nazi's in Albania during the Holocaust.

Had his grandparents been caught for this terrible crime of saving Jews, they would have been killed along with the families that they hid. Yet nevertheless they and others risked their lives to save the Jews of Albania, and as a result so many survived the evils of the Holocaust.

Join us at the Kiddush Luncheon on Saturday April 5th at 12:30pm to meet Klod and to hear his powerful story.

This event will take place after the weekly Shabbat Services which begin at 10am, with a Torah Reading and Message at 11am, to which all are welcome.

Remembering my Uncle Natan

 

I am dedicating this week's column to my dear uncle who passed away yesterday in Israel, and hope that these words will inspire others with his memory.

My dear uncle, Natan Cohen, passed away yesterday in Tel Aviv, Israel and as much as I wanted to, I wasn't able to go for his funeral, but hope that these words serve as a tribute to his memory.

Uncle Natan as we fondly called him, was a gentle Mentsch, who I knew from when we grew up in England, and who my family got to know on our visits to Israel.

Whenever he saw us, his genuine smile and warmth shone through, and we felt his care and connection. He always took an interest in our lives and wanted to know the updates how we were all doing. Due to these interactions, all of … Read More »

Andrew & Tyler are two amazing special 21 year old twins who have had to overcome so many challenges in their short lives. Today they both celebrated their Jewish identity and their very own Bar Mitzvah celebration with family and friends in a truly joyous ceremony.
They worked hard to learn the words of the Shema and to be able to say the blessing together, as they donned Tefillin and a Talis Prayer Shawl for their first time, but their efforts paid off.
IMG_20250317_205558.jpgIt was hard not to be moved as we witnessed the joy in their hearts as they performed this sacred act, and proudly wore their embroidered Yarmulkas, Tefillin and Talis.
