SELICHOT PROGRAM AND SERVICE POSTPONED UNTIL TOMORROW

We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are still without power. While we have been told that it may be restored at some point today, we do not know exactly when and cannot be certain that power will be back in time for this evening.

For that reason, we are moving tonight’s Selichot program and service to tomorrow evening.

We hope you will join us, and we appreciate your understanding.
Shabbat Shalom!

Book details:
Isabela’s Way by Barbara Stark-Nemon
Facilitated by Rachel Ellis

In early-seventeenth-century Portugal, Spain, France, and Germany, dangers are plentiful—especially for those of Jewish heritage. Non-Catholics have been expelled from Spain, and the Inquisition has come to Portugal to impose its prohibitions. Fourteen-year-old Isabela, an obedient “New Christian”, believes she has nothing to fear from the Inquisition. But when a mysterious woman arrives with a message from Isabela’s traveling father, the girl must leave her home and embroider her way along the clandestine network of sanctuaries created to conduct Conversos, or secret Jews, to safety. A host of supporters and spirit guides, as well as one special young man, assist Isabela as she escapes the Inquisitors. As she travels, she learns of the danger and importance of her work, with its coded symbols, and is shocked to discover her family’s true origins. In this enthralling coming-of-age tale of resistance, love, and danger, Isabela employs her talent and fierce determination to find her way despite the powerful forces that buffet her at every turn.
