This is an exciting and special month for Temple Beth Shalom. In March of this year Temple Beth Sholom relocated after 46 years from Sun City to Temecula. On November 29th, Temple Beth Sholom will be dedicating its new Ark which houses the sacred Torah scrolls (the original Five Books of Moses). This date will coincide with the celebration of Chanukah, and Temple Beth Sholom will also be relighting the Eternal Light that is above the Ark, similar to relighting of the Eternal Light ages ago, when the miracle of the oil burning for 8 days occurred. The celebration will begin at 6:00 p.m. with everyone bringing a dairy/vegetarian meal, followed by singing, lighting of individual Chanukah Menorahs and treats. The dedication will be held during Friday night Shabbat services to follow.
On November 21, 20 13, at 7:00 p.m., Student Rabbi, Sandy Rosenstein, will be teaching a class about Chanukah, and will explain why we celebrate this holiday, which is dedicated to freedom. In addition, Student Rabbi, Sandy Rosenstein will discuss the special foods and how the holiday is celebrated.
