Chant Torah: The Adult Ed committee is contacting past B'nai Mitzvot to see if they would like to read their Torah portion again in years when there is no Bar/Bat Mitzvah scheduled.  We expect to contact about a dozen teens this year, and of course we'd love to invite a few adults to read as well.  If you have any interest in reading Torah for a Shabbat service, contact the office or Eddie Pont.
