Here Comes the Sun


Please join us for a once-in-a-lifetime event as we celebrate Birkat HaHammah, the Blessing of the Sun. This ritual occurs only once every 28 years, and it falls on the Eve of Passover. Temple Beth El will hold a siyyum; a Torah study session and breakfast celebration.

Date: Wednesday, April 8th, 2009 Time: 8:30 a.m.

If you miss this event, you will have to wait until the year 2037 to get another chance!
