We joyfully invite you to join us at 7:15 pm on Monday, August 29th, before the Special Congregational Meeting, to celebrate the wedding of Cantor Sarah Myerson and Ilya Shneyveys (on Thursday, August 25th). It is traditional to offer the bride and groom words of blessing, after meals, during the week following the wedding.

Come share some challah and snacks, and we will hang out, shmooze, and nosh from 7:15-7:45 pm.  At 7:45pm we will recite the Birkat Hamazon and the Sheva Brachot (the Seven Blessings). Ma'ariv will begin promptly at 8pm, and the Congregational Meeting will begin as soon as Ma'ariv ends.

General Membership Meeting 8 PM

Please attend as we have numerous items up for a vote that require congregational approval.

Dear [first_name],

Our congregation wants to wish a hearty mazal tov to Cantor Myerson and her fiance Ilya on their wedding which took place this past Thursday. Our community embraces families during life’s greatest joys and deepest sorrows. May the simchas outweigh the tsuris! As we say in the Sheva Berachot (7 blessings) underneath the chuppah.

“Kol sasson v'kol simcha

Kol chatan v'kol kallah”

“A voice of laughter and a voice of Joy

A voice of a groom and a voice of a bride.”

These voices of joy are so pertinent for our chatan and kalah. We had the great spiritual experience of davening the Ilya and Cantor Myerson last Shabbat on the grass, with their musical accompaniment. May their music continue to bring joy to the world.

Shabbat shalom,

Rabbi Bernstein
