Mid-Winter Shabbaton on
Friday, February 18 at Ohr
HaTorah
As this year of 5771 is a
leap year, we are blessed
with two Purims. The first
Purim falls on Friday,
February 18, the second
which is considered the
main Purim falls on Sunday,
March 20. The reason for
the two Purims is that we
have two months of Adar to
complete the leap year.
We will be celebrating the first
Purim, also known as the small
Purim with a fabulous Shabbaton
at Ohr HaTorah. The Shabbaton
will feature holiday foods and
Purim fun. It is a great way for
people to get into the Purim spirit
a full month before the big and
more know Purim.
The Shabbaton program will
begin at 5:50 PM with a Shabbat
candle lighting ceremony fol
lowed by a lively Kabbalat
Shabbat service at 6 PM. A deli
cious Shabbat dinner will follow
the service. A full wine bar featur
ing excellent Israeli wines will be
available for the adults and great
CLongregation

geared to excite the senses and
awaken the soul to the inner joy of
Judaism. Fee for Shabbaton is $18
per person or $50 per family. This
event is open to the entire commu

TEFTIPLE BETH EL
‘We wandered in the wilderness, lost our way in a wasteland,
never finding an inhabited place. Hungry and thirsty,
we grew faint of spirit, and in our distress, we cried to the
Deliverer; out of our straits God rescued us and led us
in a straight path to an inhabited place.”
--Psalm 107:4-7
