Haazinu-Succot

Josh L., Temple Emanuel, Newton, MA  Sept 30, 2012 

Temple Emanuel is a large, and beautiful synagogue, with grand acoustics.  Just a little tweak of the microphone and even the boy in the class with a modest build and a large personality can fill it up.  And Josh filled it up with his davening, his d'var torah, and his "lively and theatrical" persona.  It was awesome.  Even more amazing was the others who were honored as part of the Shabbat services yesterday- the group of 20 or so congregants who have been riding in the Pan Mass Challenge, including Frank the past few years.  With friends Avi leading the Ashrei, and Stephan giving a beautiful speech at the party, it was a beautiful celebration for the family.  The party theme was 007 -  Bond, James Bond, and it was very fun!
