One of the joys of cruising is meeting people from all over, including Jews from across the United States and around the world. We have met Jews from Texas, Connecticut, Ohio, Canada, England and Argentina. And yes, we have celebrated Shabbat with some of those we have met.

Terry was a 59-year member of United Hebrew Congregation and its Sisterhood…. Deloris was born in Farmersburg to Fred and Gertrude (Railsback) Hammack…. Alice was born in Joliet, Illinois, and preceded by her husband Harold.
Donations will help Light House Mission and Conner’s Center residents stay warm this winter
I am so proud of all the contributions everyone brought in for Light House Mission/Conner’s Center. The December Sisterhood meeting was canceled due to inclement weather, but Rev. Tim Fagg, Rev. Timothy Long and their assistant came to collect the donated items and were very impressed with the four large totes we filled for them. Sisterhood sent a generous check as well.
Each month marks a renewal, for the calendar and for us
We don’t have to look any further than the fact the beginning of each new Hebrew month, ראש חודש (Rosh Chodesh), is greeted with psalms of praise and rejoicing known as Hallel, as well as special Torah and Haftarah readings. In other words, each new month marks a new time, a rebirth and a renewal in our lives.
