Summer Special Services
(7/30)

Yes, even Rabbis need some down time now and then. Please join us this Friday evening, July 16th, for our Shabbat Service, led by our Rabbi Darnov, who will then be going on a well deserved vacation.

The following week, July 23rd, the Sisterhood of the Reform Temple of Putnam Valley will be leading the Shabbat service and they have invited Pastor Tony Mecca of the Grace United Methodist Church as their special guest. Pastor Mecca has graciously agreed to give the sermon that evening and it promises to be an interesting and enlightening event.

On Friday, July 30th, Ed and Roni Rodman will lead our service and Pastor Mecca has agreed to say a few words then as well (what can we say -- he likes us. What's not to like?)

We ask that you join us as we welcome Pastor Mecca into our house of worship, as he has so often welcomed us into his.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

Dancing with the...
(10/9)

You’ve heard of Dancing With the Stars.
 
Well, now we give you... (wait for it)... (almost here)...

"Dancing With the Jews"
 

Led by Rabbi Darnov, please join us at the Reform Temple of Putnam Valley this Friday, October 9th, for Simchat Torah.
 
You’ve heard him sing, you’ve seen him play guitar, you’ve survived his jokes and now witness the event of the year: the Dancing Rabbi!
 
Simchat Torah means "Rejoicing in the Torah." This holiday marks the completion of the annual cycle of weekly Torah readings. Simchat Torah is the time that we finish reading the Torah and then proceed immediately to the first chapter of Genesis, reminding us that the Torah is a circle, and never ends. This completion of the readings is a time of great celebration.
 
Join us on Friday evening, October 9th, for this wonderful evening with family, friends and fellow congregants as we celebrate the holiday of Simchat Torah with laughter, with song, with dance and with much joy.
 
(And unlike Dancing With the Stars, we don’t judge anyone, so feel free to let it all hang out.)

Word from the Rabbi: Simhat Torah
(10/9)


This is to confirm that we should be observing Simhat Torah on Friday evening 10/9, which is the true date it is observed in Israel and among Reform.
