Shabbat Shalom from Shalom b'Harim!

Here's a programming note for you: Tonight at 9 p.m., PBS's Great Performances is airing "Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy" – narrated by Joel Grey. It's bound to be entertaining and informative. As one of the most memorable memorable songs in "Spamalot" points out, "You won't succeed on Broadway if you don't have any Jews!" Enjoy...

Narrated by Broadway legend Joel Grey, this documentary explores the role of Jewish composers and lyricists in the creation of the modern American musical and showcases the work of some of the nation’s preeminent creators of musical theater including Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, George and Ira Gers...

Shabbat Shalom! Earlier this week, a group of us gathered to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Shalom b'Harim - the Jewish Community of the North Georgia Mountains. Among the attendees were six of our founders! It was a warm and meaningful get-together with many good memories shared. We're grateful for those who started us on the course of creating a Jewish presence in North Georgia and to everyone who sustains us today. Come join us!

Shabbat Shalom! As the Jewish Community of the North Georgia Mountains, we'd like to remind everyone that we are surrounded by God's blessings. Mountains, waterfalls, lakes and rivers, daffodils starting to bloom - and if you're in the right place at the right time, spectacular sunsets. "The Earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof..." (Psalm 24)
