My family is once again spread out over the continent, Peter in Lompoc, California, Valerie in Baltimore, Maryland and the rest of us here in Oak Park. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy the whole clan together (along with my mother from New York City) for a week in a warmer clime.
Now that the Holidays are over, I hope you are all rested and ready to participate in the many events that our zealous volunteers have been preparing for your education and enjoyment. I hope you are all reading the Messenger and the emails that go out weekly (and sometimes more frequently), but if not, there are many events that I think you need to be aware of.
On this Saturday, January 10th the Chevre Chidur Mitzvah will be presenting the Oy Vey Caberet. If you’ve never been to one of these, you’re missing something. Many of our talented congregants will be performing, and many others will be showing their artistic creations. There is a $16 dollar entry fee that includes dinner! Where can you get a deal like that?
The very next day, you can meet the candidate for our new rabbi, and then learn about Jewish Foods Around the World.
And there is more…
On Sunday January 18th, we join with West Suburban Temple for the annual Israel Bonds Brunch at 10:15. Following that Rabbi David Nelson of ARZA will be speaking about the Reform movement and its support of Israel during this time of crisis. A light lunch will be served, and the program is free of charge.
More free food…. Join us at 10:15 on January 25th to vote in the new board and possibly a new rabbi. Your attendance is very important as we need a quorum to proceed with our candidate.
There will be lots more in the future, too.
Keep open February 21st for a special event being sponsored by the Membership Committee. This will be an event you won’t want to miss. Watch your mail for details.
Look for me to say hello at any of these events, and let me know what you want to see on this blog.
Stay warm, busy and happy,
Lauren
