This Week at TI
 
Upcoming Events
JUDAISM 101
This week we will review the Jewish Life Cycle from birth to death. You know about them all, but I just may have some surprises for you! Come and learn. Tuesday night 7:30-9 PM

WOMENS ROSH HODESH SPIRITUALTY GROUP
Do you remember learning in Hebrew School that Rosh Hodesh (the beginning of the new Hebrew month) was a women's holiday? You don't? Probably that's because you were talking a little too much to the cute guy sitting behind you! Come and be with other women as we study the women of the Bible. This week we take a look at Sarah, our first matriarch. Wednesday night 7:30-9 PM FOR WOMEN ONLY, OF COURSE!

NEW! SHABBAT LIGHT SERVICE AT 7:30PM
This Friday night we will inaugurate our Shabbat Light format. The 5-7th Grades and their families will get together for Shabbas Dinner at TI, and afterwards we will all gather at 7:30 PM for Kabbalat Shabbat services. Note the special time for this service. I will have some surprises for you, including a new and different Siddur. THERE WILL BE NO 8 PM SERVICE THIS FRIDAY, come and get a different taste of Shabbat. Bring your grandchildren and your grandparents. SHABBAT LIGHT does not mean "Shabbat lite," it means Shabbat different, and I think you will enjoy this a lot!
 
Greetings!

Hevre: Lots of things happening at Temple this week, hope to see you and your family!

BUT FIRST,

MAZAL TOV TO THE TREMPERS! The birth of a new Jewish soul gives our people yet another chance to bring God's Presence to the world. May this new baby boy grow to manhood imbued with love of Torah and the performance of deeds of goodness and kindness, and may he bring joy to all the members of the extended Tremper family! Barry and Suzanne, we all rejoice with you!

HEVRA KADISHA ARTICLE

I hope you enjoy the article I have written in the United Synagogue Review, which you should be receiving this week. I have written a long introduction to the Hevra Kadisha, the Holy Society of men and women who prepare the dead for burial by washing and dressing them in a traditional shroud. This magazine is mailed to every single member of each Conservative congregation throughout North America, and I was honored to be asked to write on this critical topic. Please call or e-mail with your comments.
