Dear Friends,

Although it is only mid-July, here at the shul we are actively preparing for the High Holy Days. Rosh Hashana begins the evening of September 20th, 2017.  

Can you help? CBS Volunteer Ushers have an integral role in keeping our attendees (members and guests) organized and safe!

If this is your mitzvah …..

Please assist in this necessary effort by attending one of three Usher Training sessions scheduled. Each session will be about 1 - 1 1/2 hours.

1.      Session: Sunday, August 27th from 1 - 2:30 pm in the Social Hall

2.      Session: Tuesday (Evening), August 29th from 6:30 - 8 pm in Social Hall

3.      Session: Sunday, Sept 10th from 1- 2:30 pm in the Youth Lounge

Rosh Hashana is Sept 20 (evening), 21 and 22

Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur  are Sept 29th (evening) and 30th

Throughout the Holy Day services, the volunteer usher on-duty schedule is blocked as 1 ½ hour time frames to ensure each volunteer can participate in the services themselves. It takes a whole village to contribute to the well-being of our loving community. Please sign up for ONE of the sessions to help make these High Holy Days memorable and safe. 

Please click on this button to sign up for the training.

Have you ever been a Sisterhood president?  (Here or elsewhere) Hadassah President?  Synagogue President? JWI President?    Please let us know who you are and if you could join us on Sunday, August 20th for lunch and share ideas together for the year ahead.  Mark your calendars for 12:30 PM on that Sunday at the home of Esther Schwegman.  Please call 727-793-9519 or 727-734-3583 to let us know you can join us. Thank you.

 One of the most meaningful ways you can express your commitment to sustaining Jewish life for future generations is by creating a Jewish Legacy.

Please help ensure that your beloved synagogue, Congregation Beth Shalom will endure and provide life-enriching experiences for others after you are gone.
