Last Friday evening we had Esther over for Shabbot dinner at our apartment and went to services at a Reform Synagogue in Aptos - Temple Beth El. This was all in partial preparation for Esther's Bat Mitzvah next June 5th! Naomi and I also used the opportunity to continue checking out Jewish life in the Santa Cruz area. As of Saturday morning, when we also attended services with Rabbi Eli's community - Chadash Yemeinu, we had four consecutive days when we spent significant time with Esther working on preparing for her Bat Mitzvah. She is working hard and seems quite dedicated to the effort. Naomi and I have now davened with three different communities in Santa Cruz in our search for a home. It turns out that there is much more of a Jewish community in the area than we thought over the years we have been coming to Santa Cruz.
