The New Prayer Books Are Here!

Posted on May 8th, 2012 by Audrey Korotkin

Dear friends,

Beginning this summer, Temple Beth Israel will transition to “Mishkan Tefillah” as our regular Shabbat prayerbook for both Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Summertime will give us a chance to get acquainted, learn how to pray out of the new siddur, and use our adult-learning time on Saturday mornings to reflect on the theology of the prayerbook and how it speaks to us as 21st-century American Jews. Thanks to all who generously contributed toward the purchase of “Mishkan Tefillah.” If you would like to purchase copies in honor or memory of someone, please contact Jen in the Temple office. And watch for the summer schedule of worship and study!
