Rabbi Karen's October 2025 Message

October 3, 2025

​

Dear Friends,

​

Here we are, the day after Yom Kippur, and I need to let you know just how very blessed I feel to share in community with you. The participation from each of you throughout these holiest of days has been so meaningful.

​

It is said that "it takes a village" and it is because of you that we have this very special village, Temple Beth Shalom.

​

Todah Rabah - Thank you!

​

To Stephanie, our office administrator, to Robin, Board President, and all of our lay leadership and congregational volunteers from the beginning of the preparation process to the days of the services... greeters, ark openers, help with mailings, those who came up for Torah; to read, carry, lift or have an aliyah, and Haftarah, singers, Yizkor book preparation, building set-up, break-the-fast, & more.

​

Most importantly, thank you to all who attended... friends old and new. Your presence helped to make these days even more beautiful.

​

Please remember the holidays are not over yet! I am looking forward to continuing this holy season of services and program events for Sukkot and Simchat Torah. Check the TBS website and the TBS weekly email for dates and times.

​

Just another chance to put this out to you, for anyone wanted to learn more about the Temple Beth Shalom Israel Group Trip planned for February 2026. We have a website landing page through Israel Maven Tours with full information that can be found at this link: https://www.israelmaven.com/temple-beth-shalom-palm-coast

I encourage you to explore and read through each page of our site. I do hope that you will consider joining me for this meaningful trip to experience Eretz Yisrael.

L'hitraot,
