Congregation B’nai Amoona
“Schmooze with the Rabbi” Yom Kippur afternoon…
In preparation for this discussion, Rabbi Rose requests that the
B’nai Amoona family read:
God in All Moments:
Mystical & Practical Spiritual Wisdom from Hasidic Masters
By Rabbi Or N. Rose
Mystical and practical wisdom—for daily life!
The least known of the Hasidic masters’ teachings—the Hanhagot, or “spiritual
practices”—are at the heart of this book. These short lists of instructions were created for
their followers, inspirational treasures intended to be carried at all times. They were to
be read again and again—providing spiritual guidance, centering, and aid in bringing
joy and God’s presence into daily life. Practical, personal, and wise, these brief teachings
range from straightforward instructions to visualization exercises, meditations, and
mantras.

Operation Isaiah ~ A High Holy Day Food Drive
The prophet Isaiah once said:
This is My chosen fast…
To share your bread with the hungry,
To take the homeless into your home,
To clothe the naked when you see them.
(Isaiah 58:6-7)
On Kol Nidre & Yom Kippur, as we gather together in prayer,
we ask each member of our Congeregational family to bring food to our Synagogue.
Trader Joe’s has supplied us with shopping bags for you to take home and fill.
This food will be distributed to the needy through
The Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry.
Our goal is to FILL THE BIMAH with food!
