I was planning a quiet dinner at home with Ralph for our 50th anniversary, as he is not able to get out. My daughter Carrie had other ideas. With the help of my neighbor Jean and Norma, we had a great Hawaiian luau party. (Since we couldn’t get to Hawaii, they brought the party to us.)
Sisterhood will hold our yearly May carry-in luncheon at noon Tuesday, May 9. We get to taste everyone’s cooking. We would love to have you join us.
As we are in the month of Iyyar, one of our obligations is the performance of the mitzvah of sefirat ha’omer, counting of the Omer. The counting of the Omer will culminate with the celebration of Shavuot on the 6th of Sivan (May 30 to June 1).
I find this incredibly beautiful. Why? Because we live such hectic lives.
At 11:30 a.m. Sunday, May 21st, the congregation will hold its annual meeting. Aside from the refreshments that will be served, why should you attend?
Our by-laws prescribe the annual meeting for a very important reason: This once-a-year opportunity affords us a time to come together and reflect on the past year’s accomplishments and determine the congregation’s direction for the coming year.
United Hebrew Congregation’s Yom HaShoah observance on Sunday, April 23, brought together guests and participants from the region and community to remember victims of the Holocaust and honor those who work to preserve human life and dignity.
