Weekly Message from the Board President

We’re doing some early spring cleaning at the Synagogue, and you could benefit.  The Mt. Sinai Library is in the process of moving to larger quarters and no longer needs some of the desks it’s been using.  We have several large desks available.  They are yours, for free.  We’ll ask for a donation, because of course we will.  But the amount of the donation is up to you.  The desks are totally free so come by and take a look.  Here’s a photo of them:

The desks are up against one wall of the social hall, and we want to use that space to store the chairs we use in the social hall.  So we do need to get rid of them, and we thought that free was a pretty good price. By the way, the items on top of the desks are not included.  It’s just the desks themselves.

Kugel bakers, start your ovens!  Our big annual Kugel cookoff is this Saturday night, and we’re hoping for lots of entries.  Besides, someone has to dethrone our reigning King of the Kugels – Noam Mantaka.  Noam has won the past few years, but the competition gets tastier every year.  You choose what to include in your kugel.  All we ask is that it taste good, and judging by the bakers in our community, that’s a pretty easy goal to accomplish.

Rabbinical student Saul Kaye will be leading services Friday night and Saturday morning, and then teaching a class Saturday afternoon, followed by a Havdalah service.  The kugel cookoff, and a live concert performed by Saul Kaye, will immediately follow.  Saul Kaye is known for his Jewish Blues style of music, so it should be a fun concert.  Add in the Kugel Cookoff and we’ve got a great weekend planned.

This is nail biting time for Carol Fischer and Steve Borin.  Their son Ben and his wife Cara are expecting their first child in a couple of weeks.  They know it’s going to be a baby girl.  This will be Carol and Steve’s second grandchild, so they are old hands at spoiling grandchildren.  It is exciting and we’re joining them in counting down the days.

Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:

Di kats hot lib fish ober zi vil nit di fis aynnetsn.
The cat likes fish but she doesn’t want to wet her paws. 

Shalom,
