Dear Temple Beth-El, Alongside articles written by our own Ryan Forman and Peter Shore, this month I had the opportunity to contribute a D’var Torah to Jewish Rhode Island. Therein, I talk about the importance of joy in the Hebrew month of Adar and its Purim holiday as well as how we can all contribute to making our community a sanctuary for those who need it most just as the Israelites did to construct the Tabernacle in the wilderness. I hope that you will find meaning in my words and wish you all a Shabbat Shalom U’mevorach, a blessed and restful Shabbos. L'Shalom, Rabbi Preston Neimeiser
