Shabbat Shalom!
This year Hal, Michelle, Eva, Jesse and Lev are unable to travel to Barbados to join us for the holidays due to COVID-19 restrictions. However Hal has graciously and generously offered to conduct our services for us while his own family and local community hold services in his backyard.
This heartfelt generosity of Hal and his family is something that has touched Scott and I to the core. When we thanked Hal for this incredible gift to the community, he said that” We are family”. These are words that can never be taken too lightly and are imbued with deep feelings and commitment. We extend our love and gratitude to the entire Blumenfeld family for helping us keep Judaism alive and strong in Barbados. And we thank them for being a part of our community and our family!
The following are the times for this year’s High Holiday services. PLEASE, if you wish to attend services in person, contact Neal (so we can coordinate seating based on the Covid protocols).
