Rosh Pinah and Temple Bet Shalom will jointly present a  Yom Hashoah program on
 Tuesday evening, April 21st at 7:30 p.m.
at Temple Beth Shalom
(740 North Broadway in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY)

We will be showing the documentary "Higher Fences," a film depicting an experience of reconciliation and hope. Made in 2007, "Higher Fences" follows the surprising journey of one Buchenwald survivor and his immediate family as they visit Poland and Germany on the 60th anniversary of liberation.  Along the way they are helped by local people in unanticipated ways, and discover that things are not always as they seem. The film is 50 minutes long.

Who are we?

Rosh Pinah is an egalitarian chavurah which follows the practices of Conservative Judaism. It is a fellowship of Jews who wish to daven (pray) and congregate in an atmosphere of respect, joy, warmth, camaraderie and trust. The Chavurah invites anyone interested to join us for services. The Chavurah is very participatory. Its members conduct services, read Torah, serve as gabbayim (service 'helpers'), prepare the drashot (Torah commentary or sermons) and the food. We will be interested in trying different activities that will enrich our services. The Chavurah wants everyone to have a stake in its development and a hand in its success. We are a non-profit organization with a Board of Trustees.

Our name: Rosh Pinah

The name Rosh Pinah comes from Tehillim118:22 (Psalms). The verse is recited as part of the Hallel on Rosh Chodesh and festivals. It reads in Hebrew: even maasu habonim haita lerosh pinah. In English "The stone that the builders discarded has become the cornerstone". The stone that was of no importance has become the cornerstone of a new edifice. The name Rosh Pinah was given to one of the first yishuvim (settlements) near Safed in the Galilee in 1882 during the first modern/secular aliyah to Israel (this group of pioneers called themselves Hovevei Tzion, lovers of Zion).
