Rabbi’s Reflections

by Rabbi Toba August

Welcome back to another year with Lev Eisha. We love sharing our hearts with one
another.

This time of year, we are immersed in the last of the five books of the Torah -Deuteronomy. Moses simply cannot say goodbye. He has one more thing he has to say that goes on for an entire whole book! Sharing words of wisdom, endearment, warnings and simply reminding the people how much they need each other and their community… they need to support and care about one another to thrive and continue their journey.

We need each other at Lev Eisha.

It is 25 years since we created our unique and inspiring women’s group together, where we come together for uplifting services, provocative learning, and loving companionship. Let us commit to another meaningful year and celebrate milestones together. Let us cry together, laugh together, and spend time singing, praying, and dancing for as long as we can!

With Cindy Paley, our singers and musicians, our wonderful president and board, Torah readers, resident poet, and all our volunteers, we are grateful for our time together and looking forward to another successful year.

Remember, YOUR membership and generous donations sustain our loving community, and Lev Eisha only exists with your support.

Let us make this happen. JOIN US NOW.

We hope to see you in person on September 7th for a joyful service with The Braid, with your friends and all that makes Shabbat so special at Lev Eisha.

With all my Lev – my heart to yours,
Rabbi August

President’s Message

by Carol Wispe Burns

Dear Lev Family,

The Lev Eisha Board is excited to welcome you to a new year with uplifting ideas to celebrate our 25th year. We look forward to continuing to engage in Lev Eisha’s spiritual and soulful Shabbat journey with you and hope you will be inspired by the new ideas as they unfold each month.

To continue to offer another year of our unique style of opening hearts and souls at each service, your MEMBERSHIP and generous DONATIONS are more important than ever. We thought you should know that making Lev come alive for you has increased to $4000 per month, including rental, staff fees and insurance. With your help, we will continue to offer pre-service teachings and a kiddush following services.

In September, we will honor Rabbi August and enhance our service with stories from The Braid, an international Jewish story-telling company. Please consider a generous donation to honor Rabbi August and to sustain us for another inspiring year.

B’shalom,
Carol Burns
President, Lev Eisha
