Join us for a special Shabbat morning celebrating those who have served in the armed forces to keep us safe.

Anyone who is a veteran of the U.S. or Israel military is invited to come to services for a blessing from Cantor Levine, and to drop off pictures at the shul of their service. There will be a display of these mementos in the social hall.   The speaker is Aaron Kiter, a member of Jewish War Veterans Post 574 in Houston.  There will also be a Veteran from WWII, who just celebrated his 102nd birthday, and a Purple Heart Recipient as part of the service. We hope you will join us to thank them for saying Heneni when they were called upon to serve.
