BRP’s Artist-in-Residence Weekend opens on Friday evening, April 27 at Temple Shaarei Shalom with Linsky serving as Visiting Cantor for Shabbat service with Rabbi Anthony Fratello and Cantor Judith Ovadia. Linsky will share an original “Sermon in Song: The Spirituality of Recovery” perfectly timed to tie into the meaning of the week’s Torah Portion “Kedoshim” referred to as the “Heart of the Torah”. Encouraging acceptance, compassion and love, Linsky will focus on three Hebrew words in the portion that are found at the precise center of the Torah… V’ahavta L’reiacha Kamocha: “You Shall Love Your Neighbor as Yourself”.

“A community that works together rises together, especially in the aftermath of so much recent pain, loss, anger, fear and questions raised from close-to-home Parkland,” said Rita Thrasher, co-founder and executive director of Boca Raton’s Promise, a grassroots nonprofit organization that has served the Boca Raton community as a relentless trailblazer in raising awareness, increasing education, changing perceptions and starting critical conversations on mental health. It does this through its action-provoking outreach programming for youth and adults, facilitating thought leader conversations and collaborations, public speaker tours and Mental Health First Aid trainings.
