Posts by Rabbi George Gittleman

I returned from Sabbatical at the start of April and I’m gradually getting back into the familiar rhythm of life at Shomrei Torah. I’ve missed being with you, even virtually! Thank you for giving me the time to rest and recharge.

The pandemic kept me close to home, with many trips to the coast and days outdoors around Sonoma County. Being able to spend time reading, writing and reflecting on our beloved community and what we will need to thrive going forward was such a gift! I look forward to sharing some of my experiences and thoughts with you soon.

It's heartening to realize that in the face of fires and pandemic – challenges of almost Biblical proportions -- our community remains strong. We are here to support one another and to learn and celebrate together. I hope you will join us virtually in some of our upcoming activities.

B'ahavah v'shalom/with love and peace...
