*** Congregation Ahavat Olam’s musically uplifting weekly Shabbat service. **
Rabbi Idan's sermon for this Annual Meeting Shabbat, Parashat Beha’alotcha, is: "Empowering Leadership: Embracing the Potential Within Us All”
"Congregation Ahavat Olam is a congregation of leaders. I find great satisfaction in being part of a community in which members participate actively: playing in the band, leading us in folk dancing, sharing their photography skills, and writing songs. Volunteers take initiative and encourage us to participate in the mitzvah of Tikkun Olam, making the world a better place. And, of course, our wonderful congregants go the extra mile to create a welcoming community. None of this would be possible without all of you and the support of our dedicated founding board members. Our congregation exemplifies what true leadership looks like."
