Shalom to y'all back home,

I am attending the Biennial and having a great experience.  So far I have been to 7 workshops most that have been meant for people in small congregations.  I don't have too much time to share with you now (there are people lined up to use the computers and my next workshop is scheduled to start shortly) but you can be sure I will be returning next week with new thoughts and program ideas.

I am looking forward to attending Shabbat services with thousands of other Reform Jews tonight and tomorrow morning.  Visiting NJC this weekend is Sami Gannon from the ISJL (Institute of Southern Jewish Life) so I hope you attend and enjoy Shabbat services and the teaching of this special guest.  Services this evening are at 7:30 pm and tomorrow at 10 a.m.

Have a Shabbat Shalom and see you in a few days.

B'shalom,

Rabbi John
