Letter from Rabbi Ross

From the Rabbi’s Desk:

We have a handful of exciting events in the next few weeks, so please join us for: our new meditation gatherings, our musical services, come celebrate a wonderful Bat Mitzvah, taste the sweetness of Tu Beshvat, and join us for a special community gathering at Kent State Hillel. Details of each are below.

This Friday night, we will explore the dynamics of slavery and justice as we study Parshat Bo, where Moses concludes the final 3 plagues against Pharaoh and the Egyptians, and then the Israelites are instructed to leave Egypt.
