This week, we read Parashat Noach and hear once more the story of the multitude of animals on the ark as we spend time in our own arks. It is an opportune time to bless the animals in our lives, so we will begin this week's service with a blessing for the animals. We invite those of you with pets to have them present for the start of services. If that isn't possible, please have a photo ready to share with those of us who are present for services.
