Berkeley

Thanks to Laura G., of my Chochmat HaLev chevre, we were able to tell the Beth Shalom story in Berkeley as well as in San Francisco. Our event was on Saturday night, March 25th at the home of Margie W. and Daniel L., also Chochmat HaLevites. Many thanks to them for their hospitality.

The event was something of Chochmat HaLev reunion as most of participants were in some way associated with Meditation Teacher Certification Program (TCP for short). I met the new spouses and new babies of my TCP buddies. The gathering was small, but the people were very generous. It is gratifying that this community that has given me so much spiritually is also helping us materially.

My beloved teacher Avram was ill and unable to attend, but his wife Cantor Sara Shendelman stopped by to say hello and drop off their contribution.

Once again, many thanks to Laura for her orginizational help and to Margie and Daniel for opening their beautiful home to us.

The web of the friends of Beth Shalom truly extends from coast to coast.
