Every year Temple Israel participates in the global Shabbat Project in memory of the founding Rabbinical couple, Rabbi Dr David and Bertha Sherman. This year we had even more to celebrate, with it being the congregation’s 80th anniversary. With all-gender challah bakes and tefillin wraps, all three shuls were filled with people of all ages and backgrounds, so the light of Shabbat was given a huge boost again this year. To round it off, author Irwin Manoim gave a riveting and sometimes hilarious talk about the 80-year history of the Cape Town Progressive Jewish Congregation.
Plans are already on the way for a second bar mitzvah celebration in three years!
