As expected, Alex was superb. These life events mark the passing of generations and continuance of our heritage. No finer example of our youth and the outstanding guidance provided by our Rabbinate and religious school staff could there be than this Bar-Mitzvah. Mazel tov!
A wonderful time was had by the many who attended the Tu BiSh’vat breakfast and tree planting. All the kinder took part in the planting of the Flowering Plum provided by TBS Sisterhood in memory of Bea Zelkind. Bea had for several years provided a tree in memory of her late husband. Master hole diggers (Blaine and yours truly) prepared the site. Julie and crew put out a scrumptious brunch: Another event that will be remembered each time we observe the tree as it grows and blooms.
Rabbi Rubinger and entourage leave for Israel on March 7th. Please join us to wish them Bon Voyage at the oneg after services on the 5th. Passover is just around the corner and, if you remember lasts year’s Seder, you best get your reservations in early. The Rabbi will have just returned from Israel and I’m sure will be even more inspired.
Don’t forget the cash raffle. Fundraising is what keeps our dues in check. This event is an opportunity to sell a few tickets, buy a few, and have a fair chance at the prize. Also coming up is the TBS yard sale, bake sale and carwash. This event involves the congregation, Sisterhood and the youth group. It not only raises funds but keeps many involved. Please look for any slightly used items no longer needed in your household and donate them to the sale. Then come out with the community and find some treasures you will not be able to live without.
Well, these should keep us busy. See you at all the events.
Hatikvah,
Joe Switt, President
