The Joys of Congregation Brith Sholem

A new member of Congregation Brith Sholem since 2020, Kenneth Laughman began his journey into Judaism several years ago. Kenneth was introduced to Congregation Brith Sholem in fall 2019. He began attending religious services at the synagogue and delved more into reading the Torah. With guidance from Student Rabbi Sivan and congregation member Judi Amsel, Kenneth has gained an immense knowledge of Judaism and an understanding of his self. Since becoming an active member of congregation and participating in their religious services and events, Kenneth has “found nothing but understanding, compassion, inspiration, and yes, love.”

Joy

I feel joy

In older age I have found my path

A way to live

A way, THE way, for me

The way to bring glory to Him

For the blessings He gave

And continues to give

My heart is filled with joy today

Because I AM on the right path

The destination does not matter

It is not known to me

It is better this way

So I can enjoy the journey

I feel joy
