From the President:

Like the secular New Year on December 31 the Jewish New Year is a time to begin introspection, to look back at the mistakes of the past year and make plans for the changes to make in the new year.

On behalf of Rabbi Ben, Cantor Larry,  Naomi and the Board of Directors of Congregation B’nai Tikvah we extend to each of you a L’Shana Tova Tikatevu.

May you be inscribed in the Book of Life for a good year.

Cheryl Kaufman, President

This lay led service is a new, innovative, way to spend Shabbat.

It will begin with a short 20-25 minute service

followed by a stimulating 25 minute talking point discussion and will end promptly at 7:30. 

After the service, we will join together to share a Shabbat meal together, with members or visitors, either at a restaurant or at homes.

This service is open to anyone in the North County area.

Each week an evite will be sent with all information and the discussion topic.

Please respond to this evite so we can make sure to have enough people to make a minyan.

Please start thinking about the discussion topic now...

Rattlesnake:

It’s not the bite of the rattlesnake that kills, it’s the continued circulation of the poison – Howard Goldman

               We can live no more than a day at a time. If we do not live today, we do not live at all; and each day that we live is a  lifetime complete in itself....

”If only I could live again!” we sometimes sigh. And we can, indeed we do!

We live over and over again as day follows day with its heights to be scaled and its depths to be plumbed.
    - Ray Pearson
            What will you do with your “living again” in your tomorrows?

Please join us for a special Selichot and Havdalah beach service on Saturday, Sept 24 at Oceanside Harbor.

This service begins the Days of Awe and will include beautiful music, special prayers and readings asking for forgiveness and to give thanks for our past year. 

Come as early as 5 p.m.

Bring dinner or bar-b-que and enjoy the company of friends until sunset arrives.

At about 7 p.m. Rabbi Ben and Cantor Larry will begin the brief Havdalah service followed by the short beautiful and melodic prayers of Selichot .

Service will take place across from the Marina Del Mar Vacation Condominiums

1202 North Pacific Street, Oceanside CA  92054.

Pay and metered parking can be found along N Pacific Street and the beach lot next to the beach area.
