SH/BH Book Club
Saturday, October 19 / 1:45pm
Home of Dawn Shogren
Our next book selection is The Golem of Brooklyn by Adam Mansbach. Join Ken Parker as he leads the discussion of this very timely book. In Ashkenazi Jewish folklore, a golem is a humanoid being created out of mud or clay and animated through secret prayers. Its sole purpose is to defend the Jewish people against the immediate threat of violence. The Golem of Brooklyn is an epic romp through Jewish history and the American resent that wrestles with the deepest questions of our humanity-the conflicts between faith and skepticism, tribalism and interdependence, and vengeance and healing. RSVP to Sabrina by October 15th.
SACK THE SNACKS
Sunday, October 20 / 12:00
During Pizza in the Hut (after religious school)
Everyone is invited to enjoy pizza, games in the sukkah and a pesto garden party while doing a mitzvah by helping Sisterhood pack after-school snacks for students living at the North Family Gateway Shelter. The shelter uses 500 snacks for kids per week and we need your contributions! You can order your donations to be delivered directly to the Temple using our new Amazon Gift list; https://tinyurl.com/sacksnack24 or register at Sign Up Genius at https://tinyurl.com/sacksnacks924 and bring them to Temple. Hand delivered donations are always welcome as well. Thank you for helping the children of Family Gateway!
