Happy Thanksgiving
Sincerely, CAT

In the spirit of Turkey Day, we want to express our gratitude.

Because of you, we have a community and for that, we are greatly privileged. Hands down, we've got the best community in town.

A very special thanks to Janice, Jackie, Alex, Deborah, Cantor Cathy, President Arnie, Rebetzin Jeff and Rabbi Jerry. 

We hope you have a joyous and festive season!

Rabbi's a Chef
Celebrity Kosher Cookbook

Leonard Nimoy's pickled herring and William Shatner's
knaidlach.

No we're not being funny. Those are just two recipes listed in "Celebrity Kosher Cookbook." 

Published in 1975, Rabbi Jerry Cutler and Miriam Hall (Monty's wife) joined forces to collect as many recipes as they could. Notable contributors include Lucille Ball, Joan Rivers, Kirk Douglas, and Walter Matthau.

Just last week, Jewniverse posted about the book!

 
Oy!
Shabbat Services
Location TBA

As always, services will be held the first Friday of every month. 

That means this Friday, Dec 7. 

Last month, our location had insufficient parking spaces, so we're currently scouting alternative locations.

A new location will be announced shortly with a follow-up email. Also check our Facebook for updates!

In the meantime, to quench your CAT fix, here are December's messages: Rabbi's Message and Arne's Corner.

Penguins of Madagascar

My 8 year-old granddaughter, Cleo, who loved the last Penguin Madagascar film, wanted nothing to do with this recent release.

Two Bagels


Kinky Boots

A musical about drag queens, heterosexuals, a failing shoe factory, pseudo affection and written by Harvey Fierstein and Cindi Lauper? That's right!

Four Bagels

Foxcatcher

If you are not a wrestling aficionado, and I'm not, you will probably find "Foxcatcher" at 133 minutes, a tad too long.
