Good morning,
My name is Linda Whitaker and I am interested in attending a First Friday Shabbat service.
I love the magazine “Israel My Glory” and have been a contributor to the Friends of Israel for many years. My husband, Phil and I live in Midlothian, VA and I read the article about this service in the July/August 2022 “Israel My Glory.”
My husband and I would like to attend the March 3rd service. Please let me know if we need to register/enroll, etc.
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
In Christ’s love,
Linda
