|  |     The first event in Kerem Shalom's dedication of our new Shul will be 
    happening this Sunday Sept 17. To expand on the base note a bit, 
    Kerem Shalom, formerly Concord Area Jewish Group, is a non-affiliated, 
    Reconstructionist-oriented, very open congregation serving the greater 
    Concord area. Until this year we have been a guest of the First Parish 
    Church in Concord, where we have held our services, had our Hebrew School,
    etc. Now, we have our own building! It is at the junction of Rte 2, and 
    Elm Street in Concord, just east of the Concord rotary.
    Sunday is the first of the many events surrounding the opening of our Shul.
    It is the building dedication. The events planned are:
    1  - Plant a tree at the First Parish
    2  - Blow the Shofar as a call to assembly
    3  - Move into the First Parish Sanctuary
    4  - Take the Torah out of the Ark
    5  - Have a short program of speakers and singing (Hineh Ma Tov and 
         Lo Yisa Goy)
    6  - Have a procession from First Parish to Kerem Shalom (about 2 miles), 
         led by 4 Klezmer musicians (definitely will be a first in Concord 
         history!) - busses will be available for those who wish to use them
    7  - Put up the mezuzah
    8  - Move into the sanctuary
    9  - Place the Torah into the Ark
    10 - Light the Ner Tamid
    11 - Shema
    12 - Mourner's Kaddish
    13 - Hatikvah
    14 - Blow the Shofar
    Refreshments will be available at the Shul.
    The time is 1:00 to 6:00 PM, Sunday, Sept. 17, beginning at the 
    First Parish Church, Lexington St., Concord Center, Concord.
    All are invited to join us in this joyous and momentous event.
