Please contact rabbis@pardeslevavot.org if you are interested. We also seek  volunteers to be the "Levites", coordinating all the preparation, including decorating the sanctuary, preparation of food, creative outreach to the unaffiliated, and more.

Getting Involved

From the Shepherd of the Hills Bulletin

Community Infant Program (CIP) – There is an on-going need for disposable diapers for young families with children. You can bring them to the church. Thank you!


A Jewish couple won twenty million dollars in the lottery. They immediately went out to begin a life of luxury. They bought a magnificent mansion estate and surrounded themselves with all the material wealth imaginable. They then decided to have a butler and, wanting the best, they traveled to London to hire one.

They found the perfect butler through an agency and brought him back to the United States to their home. The day after his arrival, they instructed him to set up the dining room table for four, that they were inviting the Cohens to brunch. The couple then left the house to do some shopping.

When they returned, they found the table set for eight. They asked the butler why eight, when they specifically instructed him to set the table for four. The butler replied, "The Cohens telephoned and said they were bringing the Bagels and the Bialys."
