Two Leaders Sharing (Abbreviated Service)

About this episode

Trustee Sherry Shieh and Elder Scott Poticha share reflections and teachings in place of the usual sermons.

Since there was a mini-service on 16 May with the rabbi absent, and no service on 23 May due to Memorial Day – we offer this in place of the usual sermons. Trustee Sherry Shieh shares some Scripture, prayers and thoughts on Jerusalem Day; and Elder Scott Poticha shares a brief "drasha" entitled, "Names," pondering the week's Torah portion, "Ba-Midbar." Shavuah tov & shalom!
