Celebrating Rabbi Corey Helfand

 

Rosh Hashanah 2008 (5769), Rabbi Corey Helfand & his Beautiful bride Jenny, stepped into the lives of the congregants of Beth Shalom of Lake Norman. Very quickly our lives were transformed with his kind & hard word working presence. His teachings were welcoming, comforting, inspiring & joyful - seeking you to reach for more. Though we had to share Resident Rabbi Corey (He always has a full plate) - no matter where he is, or what is doing, you can always get in touch with him. He will have the time for you like a Rabbi - right around the corner. One of the greatest joys Beth Shalom had was the birth of Rabbi Corey & Jenny's daughter Eden Leora. She is definitely a Beth Shalom girl for life XO

On May 19, 2011 (5771) Rabbi Corey graduated from the Jewish Theological Seminary. This upcoming weekend, June 3-5, 2011 (5771) Beth Shalom will be celebrating Rabbi Corey's amazing accomplishments. With Corey they seem endless. Corey we hope your time with Beth Shalom will feel the same ~ always endless. Forever for you & your family will be a part of us.

Charlotte Jewish Life & Your Beloved Rose Family Wish You, Jenny & Eden all the best in your future endeavors. Mazel Tov our Sweet Friends XOXO

Beth Shalom holds annual Holocaust observance May 5

http://www.huntersvilleherald.com/news/2011/04/21/beth-shalom-holds-annual-holocaust-observance-may-5/

DAVIDSON – Davidson College Professor Thomas Pegelow Kaplan will serve as keynote speaker at Beth Shalom of Lake Norman’s fourth annual Yom Hashoah observance on May 5.

Yom Hashoah is the day set aside to honor the 6 million Jews lost in the Holocaust, and the congregation invites the community to the free program  at 6:30 p.m. at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, 301 Caldwell Lane.

Kaplan teaches courses on Holocaust and genocide studies, as well as other subjects, at Davidson. His research focuses on violence, mass media and “constructions of selfhood” in Nazi and postwar Germany and linguistic histories of comparative genocide in the modern world. His book “The Language of Nazi Genocide: Linguistic Violence and the Struggle of Germans of Jewish Ancestry” was published in 2009.

Father David Buck of St. Alban’s and Rabbi Corey Helfand of Beth Shalom of Lake Norman also will speak during the observance, and Beth Shalom religious school students will participate in the program.
