United Hebrew Congregation celebrated a busy and rewarding weekend with Student Rabbi Aaron Rozovsky’s farewell Shabbat service Friday evening and Sarah Harris’s Bat Mitzvah on Saturday morning.
“You’ve shown [Jewish life] can grow and thrive anywhere,” Rabbi Aaron told the congregation.
Photos display highlights from the two events.
United Hebrew Congregation conducts services every Friday, with Temple members officiating most evenings when a student rabbi is not present.
On May 12, five ladies who comprised the Temple’s 2016 B’nai Mitzvah class took that role, as Karen Harris, Debra Israel, Patty Lewis, Wilma Turetzky and Sara Wormser-Waltermire delivered service, Torah portion and sermon, as well as an expansive oneg Shabbat.
That 2016 United Hebrew Congregation Terre Haute B’nai Mitzvah class, including Karen Harris, Debra Israel, Patty Lewis, Wilma Turetzky and Sara Wormser-Waltermire, will unite to officiate Shabbat services at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 12, 2017, in the Vestry Room.
All are invited to attend. The B’nai Mitzvah class will sponsor an oneg after the service.
United Hebrew Congregation’s Yom HaShoah observance on Sunday, April 23, brought together guests and participants from the region and community to remember victims of the Holocaust and honor those who work to preserve human life and dignity.
Here, we share audio and photos from the event, co-sponsored with CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center, at Temple Israel.
