Religious School

Thank you to all of the students and teachers who helped to create our beautiful herb garden in honor of Tu B’Shevat. A special thank you to Lisa Schmidt for helping with the garden and providing many supplies. We would also like to extend a thank you to everyone who brought tissue paper rolls. On March 26th, the Religious School class will have a beach party in lieu of our regular Religious School classes. More details will follow as the date approaches.

Family Shabbat Dinner

Shalom Y'All,

First and foremost, I must give a big THANK YOU to Linda Snider and Sue Williams. They have been a tremendous help to me in the kitchen preparing our family dinners and helping with anything I need!! You are both a blessing and have made my job much easier!

This month's Family Shabbat Dinner will take place on Friday, March 10th following 6:30 pm services. We will be celebrating Purim, so all costumes are welcome! I'll bet there will be some beautiful Queen Esthers and ruthless King Hamans!

As always, bring your appetite and a dessert to share. Speaking of dessert, I want to thank everyone for bringing delicious desserts for everyone to share. Your generosity is heartfelt and very much appreciated!

Until we break bread together again,

Leslie Green
Family Shabbat Dinner Coordinator
