This week we are thrilled to wish a Mazeltov to Yael Prawer and Josh Back for their aufruf (call up) on the occasion of their upcoming marriage! Mazeltov to the lovely couple and to their entire families, wishing you much nachas and blessings for your journey together.
Please join us for a beautiful Kabbalat Shabbat at 6pm led by Yardena Prawer. Shacharit commences 9.45am, and the Dvar Torah will be given by Idan Dershowitz in honour of the upcoming marriage. Welcome to Idan and to Ronit Prawer! Following shule, the whole congregation is invited to a Kiddush at the Back's home a short walk away at 55 Rosemont Avenue, Caulfield.
In the theme of "new beginnings", Rosh Hashana is fast approaching, and we urge all who haven't taken out membership to do so here. Chagim at Shira are really special, and we have the wonderful Avram Mlotek and Yael Kornfeld returning this year as our international chazzanim - you don't want to miss their beautiful tefillot! Your support is crucial to help us create the inclusive and vibrant shule we all know and love.
