Thanksgiving for the Firefighters

Every year, Mark Powers leads a group of us to show our appreciation for the local firefighters and everything they do.  Thanksgiving is a time for us when we make them a nice dinner to honor them, but there is no need to spell this out...the local news did it for us.

Rabbi Males gives benediction for Congress

To mimic the movie title, this page could be called “Rabbi Males goes to Washington”.

Birchat Hachama

Birkat Hachama (ברכת החמה, “Blessing of the Sun") refers to the Jewish blessing that is recited in appreciation of the Sun once every 28 years, when the vernal equinox, as calculated by tradition, falls on a Tuesday at sundown. Jewish tradition says that when the Sun completes this cycle, it has returned to its position when the world was created.  [Wikipedia]

Kesher Israel participated in this momentous occasion, gathering together in the brisk morning air to offer praises to Hakadosh Baruch Hu.
