SHUL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND REMINDERS
- "MIX IT UP!"
Part I was a resounding success with over 20 "vatikim" (some
fairly new themselves) inviting some of the newer families for
shabbat meals. Yasher Koach to all the organizers for
their hard work. This week (Nov. 14), Shabbat
Toldot, the Kiddush will
be sponsored by the shul to welcome our new members.
We will also have name
tags prepared for all members, which you
may optionally affix to your clothing upon exiting to the
kiddush. Non-members of the shul are invited to receive a name
tag by registering here.
There will also be a "game" of fun facts played during
Kiddush. The new members have sent in a fun fact about
themselves, and the community is asked to use the Kiddush as
an opportunity to talk to people they don't know, and to
figure out which family is associated with which fact. To
see the names of our newest members, and to get a sneak peek
at the facts click here.
- קהילתו התברכה בשנים
האחרונות בהרבה משפחות חדשות. כדי לעזור לוותיקים וחדשים להכיר
אחד את השני אנו קיימנו אירוח בשבת שעברה ונקיים אירוע בשבת
הקרובה. השבת, שבת תולדות
(14.11), הקידוש יהיה בחסות בית הכנסת כדי לקבל בברכה את
החברים החדשים. באותה שבת, יחלקו תגיות עם שמות חברי בית הכנסת
שניתן יהיה להדביק על הבגד. מי שאינו חבר בית הכנסת יכול לקבל
תגית על ידי רישום פה.
יהיה גם "משחק" של עובדות משעשעות בקידוש. החברים
החדשים שלחו עובדות משעשעות על עצמם. אנשי הקהילה ינסו במהלך
הקידוש להתאים בין העובדות השונות למשפחות הנכונות. על
מנת לראות רשימה של חברינו החדשים ולקבל הצצה בעובדות לחצו כאן. (עברית מתחת לאנגלית)
