Hello Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, the Brotherhood/Sisterhood is leading a Sukkah decorating session at our location tomorrow/Sunday, October 5 at 12:00 pm, weather permitting. Great if you have decorations and branches or palm fronds from your yard you can share. If you don’t feel up to climbing or walking around in the grass, we can definitely use your help sorting, repairing, and making decorations and just sharing your good vibes. This is a great activity for our young members and friends, so bring the kids!
