Mazel Tov!
We wish a very warm Mazel Tov to Ingrid and Dr. Jacob Nurko on the occasion of their daughter Andrea's Bat Mitzvah; to be celebrated this evening at The Shul.
This week the Torah reminds us about true Jewish spirituality. Sometimes when we think of connecting to G-d, we imagine it being limited to Prayer, Torah study or rituals. In truth however, authentic Jewish spirituality must also reflect itself even in our most mundane daily encounters and experiences: Being a 'Mentch', helping others, holding the door open, passing the salt and smiling - are all examples of true integrated spirituality!
Andrea, a graduate of the Bellaire Hebrew School, exemplifies this Jewish ideal to the maximum. She spent many months deep in study in preparing for this special day, growing her knowledge in Torah and Judaism. Yet, with her super caring heart she is always sensitive and kind to anyone around her in need, always there to help with a nice word or a helping hand.
Mazel Tov to the entire family and Shabbat Shalom!
Rabbi Yossi and Esty Zaklikofsky
