United Hebrew Congregation conducts services every Friday, with Temple members officiating most evenings when a student rabbi is not present.
On May 12, five ladies who comprised the Temple’s 2016 B’nai Mitzvah class took that role, as Karen Harris, Debra Israel, Patty Lewis, Wilma Turetzky and Sara Wormser-Waltermire delivered service, Torah portion and sermon, as well as an expansive oneg Shabbat.
That 2016 United Hebrew Congregation Terre Haute B’nai Mitzvah class, including Karen Harris, Debra Israel, Patty Lewis, Wilma Turetzky and Sara Wormser-Waltermire, will unite to officiate Shabbat services at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 12, 2017, in the Vestry Room.
All are invited to attend. The B’nai Mitzvah class will sponsor an oneg after the service.
Sam Richardson, a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Sociology, University of Virginia and primary investigator with The Small Jewish Communities Project, has invited United Hebrew Congregation to participate in a national survey of small Jewish congregations.
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.
