Parashat Emor<br />
Welcome to the B’nai Mitzvah of William, Annistyn, & Ryan Joslin.<br />
Dear Family and Friends,<br />
Welcome to Temple Adas Shalom and thank you for sharing this very special<br />
occasion. Your presence adds to the joy of this extraordinary day in our lives as<br />
our children, Annistyn Cate, William Lucas, and Ryan Michael become B’nai<br />
Mitzvahs.<br />
Becoming a B’nai Mitzvah symbolizes their coming of age, and the beginning of<br />
their lives as fully participation Jewish adults. This special day marks enormous<br />
growth and maturity and reflects many years of study and practice. This<br />
celebration is so joyful for us because it honors Annie, William, and Ryan’s hard<br />
work and accomplishments, and gives family and friends the opportunity to share<br />
in this important milestone in their lives.<br />
During the Saturday service, Annie, William, and Ryan will be called to read from<br />
the Torah and they will lead the congregation in prayers. The Torah is the sacred<br />
scroll containing the five books of the Old Testament. It is read each week by<br />
Jews around the world as a guide and reminder to live a life based on Tikkun<br />
Olam, repair of the world.<br />
Annie, William, and Ryan, along with Rabbi Meeka Simerly, will guide you through<br />
the service. When reading, we read from right to left as the Hebrew language<br />
does. Some prayers are recited and read in English, but many are in Hebrew.<br />
Transliteration (Hebrew phonetically written using English letters) and translation<br />
are provided to add to your understanding of the service. Please feel free to read<br />
along and join in song as we celebrate this joyous occasion.<br />
We are honored and blessed to have family, friends, teachers, and temple<br />
members here to celebrate one of the most important milestones in Annie,<br />
William, and Ryan’s lives. We are incredibly proud of them.<br />
Shabbat Shalom<br />
Melissa and Philip Joslin<br />

Torah Portion Preview<br />
For Emor<br />
Shabbat beginning <strong>May</strong> 17 th , 2024<br />
This week's Torah portion, Parashat Emor, seems to<br />
suggest that God demands perfection, but on further<br />
examination calls us to accept ourselves - blemishes,<br />
imperfections, and all.<br />
What does perfection mean and how do we aspire for it?<br />
Or should we perhaps be re-focusing our attention<br />
elsewhere. Often, we must work on ourselves before we<br />
can accept others. We're called to recognize that no one<br />
person or thing is perfect, that rather than aiming for a<br />
superficial 100%, we should instead direct our whole<br />
heart to accepting ourselves. After all, are we not all<br />
"perfect" in God's eyes? Is it not more important for our<br />
behavior to be closer to "perfection?" Such inclusive<br />
behavior can have a grand impact on shaping a healthy<br />
and inclusive society.<br />
