Dear Temple Beth Shalom Members and Friends, we have many thanks for the Brotherhood/Sisterhood for quickly organizing a group to decorate our Sukkah, and now we invite you to enjoy it with them, the congregation, and our larger community in a brief member-led Sukkot service on Friday, October 10 at 6:30 pm. Weather permitting, please join us in the Sukkah to make blessings and shake the lulav and etrog. The group is headed to Outback Steakhouse for dinner after the service if you would like to join that as well.
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!
