Shabbat Message
A week of Celebrations - A Journey Through Jewish Traditions
by Sandi Kaplan
It’s been a whirlwind of joy over the past week: two weddings, a bar mitzvah, a farewell party for dear friends moving to Israel and a sheva brachot (post-wedding celebration). This isn’t our usual pace, but it’s been both fun and deeply meaningful.
The two weddings couldn’t have been more different.

Yizkor is a sacred time when we pause to remember not only those who gave us life and love, but those who gave us strength, identity, and a connection to something greater than ourselves.
Honor the memory of your loved ones by including their names in this year’s JFX Yizkor Book of Remembrance.
