Happy Birthday Israel! The Jewish State came into being on May 14, 1948. The Jewish People’s Council gathered at the Tel Aviv Museum and proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. Israel has suffered through numerous wars (including one right now), as well as political conflicts, and has persevered.
We’re going to celebrate the existence of the land of Israel at a special dinner and service this Friday night. It begins at 5:30 PM. Noam’s Table will be on hand, offering Noam’s menu of Israeli and Middle Eastern dishes. We’ll also be welcoming some special guests… Members of the “Voice in Faith” program will be coming.
At 7 PM, Rabbi Halfon will lead our Friday night Shabbat Service. He says it will be an abbreviated service including Israeli music and poetry, followed by folk dancing. All in all, it sounds like an interesting and fun Shabbat service this Friday and a great way to commemorate the birth of Israel.
We skipped the Shalom Dinner in April because we all got together for the Passover Seder and the Chametz Party. So it’s time to bring it back. Let’s meet Thursday, May 23 at the Tres Amigos on West Lincolnway, near I-25. We’ll make the reservations for 6:30 PM. It’s been a year since we had our Shalom Dinner there, so we’re ready to go back.
There are only two more sessions left of Matani Ravenna’s Beginning Hebrew class. If you missed it, don’t worry. The class has been very successful, and we’ll be asking Matani to teach it again next year.
We think it’s worth another mention… The Endowment Fund is raising money for the sponsorships of two chairs… one for Tim Solon in the small sanctuary, and one for Harlan Ribnik in the large sanctuary. The Endowment Fund invests the money donated and never spends it. A small portion of the interest is used by the Synagogue. Because the Endowment Fund is growing, the interest it is generating is also growing, and it definitely has an impact on the Synagogue budget (in a good way). If you would like to donate, please use our website or contact the Synagogue office.
Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:
Az dos meydl ken nit tantsn, zogt zi az di klezmer kenen nit shpiln.
If a girl can’t dance, she says the musicians can’t play.Shalom,
