They’re in the mail!  You may have already received your invitation to the Mt. Sinai Passover Seder.  If not, watch for it in the next few days.  Please respond as soon as you get it – Sisterhood is offering three different options for the dinner and needs to know how much of each type to make.  You can also print out the RSVP here and mail it in right away.

The Seder will take place in the synagogue social hall on Wednesday, April 1.  We’ll read through the Hagadah, taste haroseth, karpas, and matzah, and enjoy a wonderful dinner that includes matzah ball soup, gefilte fish, and dessert, as well as your choice of entrée (chicken, fish, or vegetarian).

We always get a great crowd for the Mt. Sinai Seder and we’re expecting it again this year.

We’ll have to give up Chametz (bread) for Passover, but there’s still time to get in one more Shalom Dinner… complete with any kind of bread you want.  Let’s meet at the Office Restaurant on Pershing Blvd on Wednesday, March 25 at 6:30 PM.  A word of warning… that’s just three days before the shared birthdays of Morris Gardner and Jason Bloomberg, so there is a chance singing might break out.

We lost a great man last week.  Tim Solon, a beloved member of our community, passed away at the age of 91.  Tim was an Episcopalian priest, but he frequently came to our services and other events.  Tim and the late Dorothy Feldman worked for many years on the Synagogue library.

Here are a couple of excerpts from Tim’s obituary.  You can read the full obituary here:  https://www.bustardcares.com/obituaries/terry-solon

“Tim had an immense fondness and respect for the Jewish people and their faith. He spent countless hours helping to establish the Jewish library at Mt. Sinai Synagogue in Cheyenne and he often attended Shabbat services on Friday evening, so much so that they dedicated a chair just for him in his honor.”

“Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, March 14th, at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church with the Reverend Temple Heatherly officiating. Burial will be in Highland Cemetery.”

“Tim was adamant: He wants no flowers! He has requested that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to one or more of the following: St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Casper, St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Cheyenne, Christ Episcopal Church in Newcastle, Mt. Sinai Synagogue in Cheyenne, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wyoming.”

Our condolences go to Tim’s family and loved ones.  We will miss him a lot.  Baruch Dayan HaEmet – May his memory be a blessing.

One other note – Rabbi Craig Rosenstein, one of the candidates for Religious Leader of Mt. Sinai, has withdrawn his application.  We will be welcoming Rabbi Mitch Delcau the weekend of March 27^th.  Rabbi Delcau is a candidate for the position.

Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:
