    Pearls of Blessing: Selected Aliyot Blessings of Rabbi Steve Segar

    Bring home a copy of Pearls of Blessing

    This slim, elegant volume of eighteen blessings, written by Rabbi Steve for the thematic aliyot in our Shabbot morning Torah services, celebrates Rabbi Steve's 18th year as spiritual leader of Kol HaLev. More than 20 current and former Kol Halev members had a hand in taking this book from conception through printing.

    Along with a preface written by our founding Rabbi, Jeffrey Schein, there's a tribute to Rabbi Steve by the editors (some truly beautiful parts were penned by Bill Scher-Marcus). Thanks to an anonymous donor who underwrote the cost of printing, all proceeds from book sales support our sacred commmunity and its future.

    Bring home the ruach of Kol HaLev!  Makes a great gift, too! Purchase online here.
