Three Sabbaths. One purpose. One expectation. 🙏🏾✨

Join Temple Beth El as we come together in focused, fervent prayer on April 11, 18, and 25 at 10:00 PM (EDT). Under the guidance of Chief Rabbi Phillip E. McNeil, we seek not just to pray—but to press through.

Come with intention. Stay with faith. Leave with an answer.

“If you are in earnest in prayer, look for your answer by the third Sabbath.”

🌸 Happy Passover 🌸

As we enter this holy season, we remember deliverance, covenant, and the call to assemble as one people. Passover reminds us that freedom was not only granted, but entrusted to be remembered, taught, and lived out in obedience.

May this sacred time strengthen our unity, deepen our reflection, and renew our commitment to walk in purpose and promise. What was scattered is being gathered. What was bound is being restored.

Proverbs 16 & 17

📖 As we continue our Sabbath journey, Proverbs 16 and 17 guide us in humility, wise counsel, and righteous conduct. This lesson encourages reflection, balance, and trust in divine direction.

💪 You’re Still Standing
Held, strengthened, and sustained.

Join us in Plainfield, NJ, November 6–8, 2026, as we commemorate the 120th Anniversary of the 1906 Passover in Gilgal. Together we honor the sacred gathering led by Prophet William Saunders Crowdy at Reform Hall, a moment that shaped our faith community and anchored generations to come.

Proverbs 14 & 15
Proverbs 14:23 & 30 – Envy and Jealousy Is Sin
Proverbs 15:29 – Repentance Is The First Step

📖 This Sabbath lesson calls for self-examination and spiritual growth. We are reminded that envy corrupts the soul, repentance restores alignment, and righteous labor produces lasting fruit.
