This Week!
Shabbat Morning, May 19
Services for the entire shul will start at 9:00 am in the Saide Chapel with its close, intimate setting, allowing the room to be filled with our prayerful voices. As we conclude both Pesuke D'zimra and Shacharit, we will make our way to the main sanctuary for Torah reading and the remainder of Shabbat davening and learning.

After Kiddush
This Shabbat!
We will listen to several
short stories from our
fellow congregants,
and formulate & practice
our own story.
The campaign against the Marriage Amendment is concentrating on person to person contact,
reaching out to our fellow voters to persuade them that each Minnesotan, each person, has the right to marry and form a family according to the dictates of his or her own heart. Our learning will concentrate on building those skills.
