Personal Invitation
Then Moses said to Aaron: “Come forward to the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering, making expiation for yourself and for the people; and sacrifice the people’s offering and make expiation for them, as יהוה has commanded.” (Leviticus 9:7)
The Rabbis explain, after the sin of the Golden Calf, a sin in which Aaron was a participant, Aaron is reluctant to enter into the service of the Tabernacle.  That is why Moses invites him in. 
Sometimes we are embarrassed, sometimes we feel guilty, sometimes we feel inadequate and in those moments we need people to offer us encouragement. Many don’t come to services because they feel like and outsider, or they feel they don’t know enough, some explain the barriers to entry are too great to overcome.  To you I say, I hear you and I promise to make you feel right at home and if it is not me, I promise someone else will. 
So here is you personal invitation.  Please come to Shabbat morning services.  It starts at 9:30am and will end by 12:00pm.  Come for as long as you like.  You can even be a JFKer (Just for Kiddush).  We would love to see you. 

SPEAKING OF INVITATIONS...
Come celebrate with Sharon and me the engagement of my daughter Mia to Sammy Newman at Kiddush on Shabbat morning, April 20.  Since they will be married in Israel, this will be our only opportunity to celebrate with our community. Please RSVP to this email to let us know you will be attending.
