You and all their friends are invited for worship and brunch on Shabbat morning, June 9th, 2007 to honor the memory of Danbury's Rhoda and Jerome. Rabbi Malino taught that when you lose someone close you find a different way to be together. Of course he was right. Rhoda and Jerome live on in the hearts of those whose lives they touched. Collect all your memories and memorabilia and join old friends for fond remembrances.

Numbers 16
1 Now Korah, son of Izhar son of Kohath son of Levi, betook himself, along with Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth — descendants of Reuben — 2 to rise up against Moses, together with two hundred and fifty Israelites, chieftains of the community, chosen in the assembly, men of repute. 3 They combined against Moses and Aaron and said to them, "You have gone too far! For all the community are holy, all of them, and the Lord is in their midst. Why then do you raise yourselves above the Lord's congregation?"
