Notice to the Congregation
Dear Members of Temple Beth Sholom of the Temecula Valley:
June 30, 2026, will be Cantor Mark Grosser’s last day as our congregational cantor. He has accepted the position of full-time congregational cantor at his home congregation, Kol Ami, in Salt Lake City, Utah. We wish Cantor Mark great success in his new position.
We have engaged the services of Cantor Sue Deutsch as our High Holiday chazzan to share the bima with Rabbi Rosenstein for our upcoming High Holiday services. She comes to us with the highest of recommendations, is very experienced, and has a lovely singing voice. We anticipate a series of moving and soul-filled services for the entire High Holiday cycle.
We have also hired Cantor Cory Winter to share the bima with Rabbi Rosenstein as our weekly and Yom Tov Cantor as well as train some of our B’nai Mitzvah students. Many of you will remember him as our High Holiday cantor when we were in the Chamber of Commerce Building as well as one year at Fazeli’s Winery. We look forward to having him as part of our clergy team.
Kol Tov,
Rabbi Sandy Rosenstein and President Craig Schlumbolm

Prayer for the State of Israel
Avinu Sh’bah shemayim, Rock and Redeemer of Israel, bless the State of Israel, may it be the beginning of our redemption. Shield it with Your lovingkindness, envelop it in Your peace, and bestow Your light and truth upon its leaders, ministers, and advisors, and grace them with Your good counsel.
May your name be sanctified in its midst. Strengthen the hands of those who defend our holy land, grant them deliverance, and adorn them in a mantle of victory. Ordain justice andpeace in the land, and grant joy of heart to all who seek you there.
May the law go forth from Zion and the word of God from Jerusalem. May Israel become a light unto the nations, and a sign of redemption for all the earth.
Lead them, swiftly and upright, to Your city Zion and to Jerusalem, the abode of Your Name, as is written in the Torah of Your servant Moses: “Even if your outcasts are at the ends of the world, from there the Lord your God will gather you, from there He will fetch you. And the Lord your God will bring you to the land. Amen.
Prayer for the Well-Being of the Israel Defense Forces
May the Holy one who blessed our fore-parents Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah - bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Forces, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our God, from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May the Almighty cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, preserve and rescue our fighters from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may God send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May God bring our enemies under our soldiers’ sway and may God grant our IDF soldiers and all who guard Mehdinat Israel salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is the Lord your God, Who goes with you to battle your enemies, for you, to save you.
