Friday, August 10th is the date set for the inaugural "Ask the Rabbi" night at Temple Beth Shalom. The program calls for those present in the synagogue's sanctuary to ask questions of the Rabbi during the time traditionally allotted for a sermon. While TBS' Rabbi Merrill Shapiro does not promise to answer all questions, every query is welcome, no question is "out-of-bounds!"
"Ask the Rabbi" Friday nights are open to all and everyone is welcome. As always, Oneg Shabbat refreshments follow the 75 minute service. The program is an expression of the democracy of Temple Beth Shalom where, in this case, the congregation determines what will be said rather than the Rabbi. "A great deal can be learned simply by listening carefully to the questions, "according to Rabbi Shapiro, "In those questions are expressed the care and the concern of the individual. It is sometimes possible to discern great and noble aspirations through the curiosity of members of the congregation!"
