Rock 'N Run was created to unite our community in the fight against breast and ovarian cancer and promote awareness to enhance prevention and early detection.
The organizers of this amazing initiative are breast and ovarian cancer survivors and friends and family of survivors. All proceeds benefit six deserving charities.
In conjunction with the 2nd annual Rock'n Run, Temple Beth Am is pleased to screen the documentary "No Evidence of Disease," the words every patient dreams to hear.
This film interweaves the harrowing experiences and remarkable courage of women, devoted families, and dedicated doctors. As music and medicine join forces in the fight for life, the surgeons are transformed into rising rock stars, and their patients and loved ones jump on the bandwagon, infusing the struggle for survival with heart, hope and Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Admission: $10 per person
There is a beautiful prayer that Jews traditionally say during evening worship, the Hashkivenu, which asks God to protect throughout the night. When we are feeling vulnerable, weak, or that we are darkness, it is comforting to know that God is with us. That is what this prayer represents. In it, it asks God “Spread over us the shelter of your peace”, or for a more literal translation “Your Sukkah of peace.”
This year, we are erecting a Sukkah of peace in celebration of sukkot, in honor of breast cancer awareness month, and for all of us who have felt vulnerable, weak, or darkness. We invite you to come into the sukkah, to meditate, to pray, to stretch, to sit, and to decorate it with prayers for yourself and for those you love who are in need of healing.
We are God’s hands here on earth. If we come together, we will be able to create God’s Sukkah of Peace. Contact Rabbi Greengrass for more information.
