SHABBAT ACROSS AMERICA

   On Friday, March 5th,  Temple Beth-El of C.I. joined with hundreds of synagogues across the continent for the 14th annual Shabbat Across America.
   A traditional chicken dinner preceded the service at Your Shul by the Sea – another part of this historic national Jewish event to celebrate what unifies all Jews — Shabbat!

   Israel Independence Day
    On Friday, April 16th, Reb David Markus will lead the evening service beginning at 7:30 and celebrate Israel Independence Day. His services are very special, so try joining us for a very rewarding evening.

"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.
