Temple Sinai's Yom Kippur Yizkor Service will be different this year! We want you to send digital pictures of those in your family or the Temple Sinai family you will be remembering this year. We are going to turn it into a slide show or video. Please include their name, Hebrew name if known, how you are connected, and other short details you want included.
If you are unable or don't want to send in a photo please just list their names below and we will list their name in presentation.
Please know that due to time constraints, while individuals will be remembered during the service, their names will not be read from the pulpit. Please submit no later than Sunday September 20th.

The Gilman Family
We moved to South Burlington in June 2018 after about 15 years in the New York City area. Laura is originally from West Hartford, CT and Andrew is from Wynnewood, PA, but we were drawn to Vermont to be closer to Laura's sister (and her family) in Shelburne as well as to raise our children in an area with great schools, beautiful surroundings (with lakes and skiing), and a vibrant town.
Elizabeth is in first grade at Orchard School and Hannah attends preschool at Heartworks. Andrew and Laura are both attorneys - Andrew works for the U.S. Attorney's Office, and Laura for the Vermont Attorney General's Office.

Shalom Mishpachot/Dear Families:
"The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry'"
We had a run through with the teaching staff and things did not go well. Rather than begin a new school year with technical problems, we are going to take more time to work them out.
This week we will work on the tech issues and next Thursday (Sept. 24), we will have a technical run through with all of our Religious School families to make sure everything is working. We won't have regular class, just a chance to see if you can all get into the assembly and your classes. It will be a great opportunity for you and your child to meet your teachers and iron out all the glitches.
Then, if everything is good, we will begin school in earnest on October 1st.
Watch your email and the weekly announcements for all the updates. And, as always, feel free to call, text, or email me with any concerns or suggestions.
Shanah tovah,
Morah Judy

Anti-Racism Book Group Continues
Join us! Our anti-racism book group will begin its second book in October. We will be reading Isabel Wilkerson's Caste:
The Origins of our Discontents. It is a powerful examination of how our racial hierarchy was constructed and continues to reproduce itself.
We will divide the book (approx. 370 of text) into three sections(1 ½ hours each) and meet at 7 pm every other week:
- Monday, Oct. 5
- Tuesday, Oct. 19
- Monday, Nov. 2
If you have questions contact Carol Heffer or David Shiman.
Register with Stacie, our temple administrator by October 1st.
