NCSC - Day 33 Shabbat at Beth Shalom

I don't think I could me more lucky to find such a warm, welcoming shul like Beth Shalom Synagogue in Columbia, S.C.

I could use a few extra hours to sleep but I look forward to going to Shabbat morning services. There is an incredible Chevre that are so happy to see me. The services are comfortable, the rabbi's sermon blows me away each week and I got a call asking if I was interested in reading Torah. I volunteered to read Megillah for Purim and ended up reading 4 chapters. I was just grateful to give back to a community that has given me a community away from my community at JTS.
