No previous Bible study is required. Classes are held on Wednesdays at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington in Rockville, Maryland. Meet at 12:15 pm with a brown bag pareve/dairy lunch.

Led by Rabbi Joshua Maroof, class will be held every Wednesday, November 16, 2011 - December 07, 2011 Time: 12:15 pm - 1:30 pm Topic, Ezekiel lived with the community of Jewish exiles in Babylonia while the future of the Nation of Israel hung in the balance. Despite the limitations placed upon him by circumstance, he vigorously challenged the comfortable illusions of his generation, strove to educate and inspire the ignorant and apathetic, consoled his brethren with dreams of a Messianic future and was the beneficiary of most mysterious and esoteric Divine visions ever communicated to mankind. This class will explore how one solitary individual was capable of serving as teacher, preacher, visionary and mystic - not only for his time but for millennia to come. 3 of 5 9/25/2011 1:13 AM Announcements September 23, 2011 http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?llr=mk8kthcab&v=001...

Boys who can read Hebrew and are 7 years of age or older may read an Aliyah of the Torah and/or Haftara on Shabbat. Girls who can read Hebrew may prepare to chant a section of Shir Hashirim on Friday Night, or a portion of one of the Megillot on Purim, Pesah, Shavuot or Sukkot. The Rabbi will gladly work with you privately to prepare him/her in advance for this. Please contact the Rabbi or Gabbai and make arrangements for your child to take advantage of one of these beautiful opportunities for participation in our services. Rabbi Maroof [email protected] Rami Levi [email protected] Haftara Requests Please note that if you wish to read the Haftara on a specific Shabbat you must communicate this to the Gabbai four weeks in advance. The first person to reserve a particular Haftara will be given that Haftara - no reassignments will be made, regardless of circumstances. Since the Gabbai cannot take responsibility for keeping track of all of your memorial dates, azkarot, etc., please be sure to take the initiative and reserve the Haftarah that you need four weeks ahead of time. You can reach the Gabbi at 301-775-9662 or by email at [email protected]. Eruv Status To check the status of the eruv, call 240-627-1661 later Friday afternoons.

I have called the Greater Phoenix community home for many years and have been an active member of its Jewish community for almost all of that time. It’s a community that has made Phoenix home, and I have come to appreciate more fully how the depth of our tradition and its commitment to community enriches my life and the lives of so many. Over the years I have been privileged to see its significant growth, both in the breadth of Jewish offerings and services and in the numbers of incredible people who work hard to secure them.
