You and I will change the world, you and I, then all will join us.
Though it’s been said before, it doesn’t matter. You and I will change the world. You and I will start from the beginning.
It may be difficult, but it’s nothing, it’s not so terrible.

Am I awake? Am I prepared? Are you listening to my prayer? Can you hear my voice? Can you understand? Am I awake? Am I prepared? Yai-lai lai lai lai…

Temple Beth Abraham's mission is to provide our congregants with opportunities to create meaningful connections to
God, Torah, the Jewish People and the surrounding Community.
We remember, with love, the Six Million whose lives were taken during the Holocaust.

My Russian Grandmother and Her American Vacuum Cleaner
by: Meir Shalev
We meet Shalev's amazing Grandma Tonia, who arrived in
Palestine from Russia in 1923 and lived in a constant state of
battle with what she viewed as the family's biggest enemy in
their new land: dirt. Hilarious and touching, Grandma Tonia
and her regulations come richly to life in a narrative that circles around
the arrival into the family's dusty agricultural midst of the big, shiny
American sweeper sent as a gift by her Great-Uncle.
