While the world feels turbulent, we look forward to sharing a peaceful Shabbat with you and your family and hope that it brings you a warm and joy-filled break. This week's parsha is Pinchas, about which I share a few of my thoughts in a short video.
Shabbat Shalom,
Sue
HIGH HOLY DAY VOLUNTEERS We are grateful to everyone who has already volunteered to help us with security over the High Holy Days. There are still timeslots that need filling. Our team of volunteers will complement the work of the security guards and play an important role in welcoming congregants to our shul on Rosh Hashana (Erev and both days), Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur. Each day will be divided into shifts, so you will still be able to take part in the services.
If you are interested in helping out, please contact Colin on 9500 0906 or email info@kehilatnitzan.org.au

Kavanah Join us every Shabbat Morning for “כוונה”. What is Kavanah?!
Kavanah means intention and these sessions are designed to direct our intention (or attention) towards the divine source within each one of us through intentional breathing, chanting phrases from Jewish prayer/Torah and simply finding space to prepare ourselves for a meaningful day of Shabbat and the traditional services that follow.
When: 9am Shabbat mornings Where: Meet in the Rabbi’s office (at Kehilat Nitzan)
