"Freedom Sabbath" on Martin Luther King's Birthday
                                                                                                                      by Joe Stern

 On January 15th,
The Dance The Word Ministry of  Canaan  Baptist  Church regaled Temple Beth-El of C.I. as  we  celebrated  a  special "Freedom"  Sabbath  service on  Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday.
    Dr. King's birthday coincided with the Torah portion telling of the first set of plagues and the Jews' exodus out of slavery in Egypt.
     The "Freedom" Shabbos Service was led by Reb David Markus and joined by Rabbinic Pastor David Daniel Klipper, Canter Elaine Faver and Reverend David Francis of Canaan Baptist Church.
     Dance The Word Ministry performed two selections that were truly divine. (The entire service was truly inspiring.)
    The dance ministry celebrated their tenth anniversary last November in a concert featuring the entire ministry and groups from seven other churches.
