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.

David's first Friday at The Jewish Preschool On Sardis

Our son David Jordan Rose, is a proud graduate of the Jewish Preschool on Sardis*. Each day David spent 45 minutes in Judaica with the lovely Morah Jayme.  In the first week, on Friday, we had a great surprise. We were in the carpool line waiting to pick up David. Our handsome little man walks out with a huge smile & says with a big voice: "I Love Shabbat!" Oh, were we beaming! Our little doll! He than called all our relatives in the Northeast & said the same - Oh! were they happy! He than continued to say it all night! What sweet words.

Three plus years later he continues his love for Shabbat as he recites his blessings over the candles, challah, & grape juice each Shabbos!

Charlotte Jewish Life & The Rose Family wish you a Good Shabbos & a Happy 5th Night of Passover.

Candle Lighting Times For Charlotte, North Carolina

Please remember to light your shabbos candles at 7:43pm, this evening. This is always a good mitzvah to do at home on your own, with family, or even include friends. It just takes a few minutes out of your busy day to honor the sabbath.


Since, this is the starting point of a day of rest be sure to get some rest & relaxation for yourself.
