Please join Shalom b’Harim at Unity of Gainesville for our next Shabbat Morning service. It will be led by Rabbi Matan Peled and will be followed by a Meat Potluck Luncheon. Advance registration is requested.
The service will be followed by a special presentation by our own congregant Mark Bauman on “The History of Jews in Colonial Georgia.” A retired professor of history at Atlanta Metropolitan State College, Mark is the author or editor of 11 books, including most recently (2023) a history of The Temple in Atlanta emphasizing social justice. His collected essays, A New Vision of Southern Jewish History (2019), won the 2023 Southern Jewish Historical Society award as the best book in the field published during the previous four years. Mark is the founding and current editor of Southern Jewish History, an annual, peer-reviewed journal, and co-editor of the Jews and Judaism; History and Culture series published by the University of Alabama Press.
As is our practice, we’ll be collecting donations for the Georgia Mountain Food Bank in support of our commitment to Tikkun Olam. The Food Bank is requesting canned vegetables this month. Financial donations are welcome, too.
