The next statewide Hadassah Book Group is set for Sunday, March 16 at 4 PM at Wendy Berelson’s house in Laramie. We have picked Alice Hoffman’s new novel When We Flew Away. From Amazon: “Bestselling author Alice Hoffman delivers a stunning novel about one of contemporary history’s most acclaimed figures, exploring the little-known details of Anne Frank’s life before she went into hiding.”
Weekly Message from the Board President
It’s their turn. The women in our congregation are going to take over the Bima on Friday night, and lead services. We’ve done this before and the women always do a great job. Thanks in advance to Courtney Schlisseman, Gayle Wagner, and the women who will be helping them. If you would like to help, please contact the Synagogue office.
Men are always welcome, of course. We expect both men and women (and kids) to show up for services. Friday night services start at 7 at the Synagogue and run about an hour. The services are also on Zoom. We’ll send out our normal reminder email on Friday, but here’s the Zoom info so it’s handy:

We’ve been following Shelby Means’ career with great excitement. She’s the daughter of Sherri and Warrie Means. Shelby won a Grammy award last year for her performance with the band Molly Tuttle. She’s just released a single on her own from her first album. The song is called “Streets of Boulder.” You can listen to it here: https://www.iheart.com/artist/shelby-means-45649649/albums/streets-of-boulder-feat-molly-tuttle-312195950/
Our new flavors of Challah are available and on the order form on our website. You can order Roasted Tomato with a Cabbage Roll Center, Vegan, or Plain. The order form is here: https://www.mtsinaicheyenne.org/challah.
The Challah sale is a fundraiser for Sisterhood and has been very successful. We sold dozens of challahs in the first round, including a Valentine’s Day themed one.
The fundraising for our building and security funds is continuing. We’re trying to raise $12,000 for each fund (a total of $24,000). The Building Fund is to keep our building maintained and in good shape, and the Security Fund pays for the police officers that provide security during services and special events. Please use our website or contact the Synagogue office to donate.
Jason and Phyllis Bloomberg have offered to match any donations up to $500 per month, so your donation will go a lot further.
We’re also continuing our book giveaway. The Synagogue Library has duplicates and non-Jewish related books and we’d like to give them away to anyone who wants them. Please contact the Synagogue office to arrange a time to see what’s available.
Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:
A hun iz gut tsu esn zalbenand – ikh un di hun.
A chicken dinner is best when shared by two – me and the chicken.

From Temple Emanuel: JEWISHcolorado donors have stepped forward to offer a dollar-for-dollar match up to $200,000 for donations to the Israel Emergency Fund. All emergency dollars will go to support efforts on the ground in Israel, aiding victims of terror, addressing trauma issues, and assisting with emergency medical and infrastructure needs. The match was launched by Barry and Gay Curtiss-Lusher from a shelter in a Tel Aviv Hotel and JEWISHcolorado Board Chair Ben Lusher and his wife Nicole.
