Weekly Message from the Board President
Passover is fast approaching and we’ll be giving up bread, pasta, and other forms of Chametz for the holiday. But it’s not here yet… Our next Shalom Dinner is this Wednesday, March 26, at 6:30 P.M. We’re all going to Olive Garden on Dell Range Blvd, and we’ll eat our fill of the breadsticks, pasta and whatever other dishes we want. You’re invited!
If you are new to Mt. Sinai, we hold a Shalom Dinner about once a month. We all go out to a restaurant together (usually a different one each month). Everyone pays their own way, and we go to enjoy each other’s company. It’s a great way to meet people – no one eats alone. So join us on Wednesday.
Speaking of Passover, have you returned your Seder invitation yet? We need to know how much food to make, so please get your invitation in right away… by Wednesday if you can. The Mt. Sinai Passover Seder will be on Sunday, April 13. Registration starts at 5:30 (that’s when you should arrive) and the Seder starts at 6.
Jeff and Mary Weinstein will be cleaning the Synagogue kitchen to prepare for the Passover meal and they could use your help. This is the “Get rid of Chametz” type cleaning. It’s important from a religious perspective but is also a fun tradition. The more people who help, the faster it will go. If you can spare a little time, please give Jeff a call at (307) 421-7189.
Would you like to attend a family-style Passover? Jonathan, Courtney, and Noah Make will be holding their Seder on Saturday, April 12, and they’re inviting the community to their home to take part. Please email Courtney at [email protected] if you would like to come.
After Passover, when Chametz is again allowed be part of our diets, we’ll be holding a Chametz Party. We’ll do it on Friday, April 25 at 6:00 PM. We’ll bring beer, soft drinks and pizza. It will take place in the Social Hall at the Synagogue, and we’ll go from the party right into Shabbat services. Think of it as a Shabbat Dinner featuring pizza. We usually get the pizzas from a variety of different restaurants, so there’ll be some good choices.
We’re always asking you for donations… how would you like something for free? The Synagogue has updated the tablets we use for credit card payments for the See’s Candy Sale and the Yiddish Food Festival, and we’re giving away the old ones. They were purchased new in 2016, and the Synagogue information and passwords have been removed. The tablets work, and they’re yours for free. It will be first come first served. Please contact the Synagogue office if you would like one.
And a thank you to Jason and Phyllis Bloomberg for donating and setting up the new tablets that replace these old ones.
Welcome Rob Spellberg! He is the newest member of Mt. Sinai. His membership was approved at last Wednesday’s Board of Directors meeting. Rob owns the house behind the Synagogue and we’re delighted to have him. Rob, we’re looking forward to seeing you at all of our events (and he’s already come to a lot of them).
Last note – a reminder about the sponsorships of the Yiddish Food Festival. Sponsorships cost $250 and are a big way that we make money from the Festival. We print the names of our sponsors are large signs and hang them around the social hall during the festival. Business, individuals, and families can all be sponsors. Please get your sponsorship forms in… we’ll need time to have the signs printed.
Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:
Az men est khazer, zol es shoyn rinen ibern moyl.
If you’re going to eat pork, eat it till your mouth drips.
Shalom,
Dave Lerner
President
Mt. Sinai Board of Directors
