We had a wonderful time seeing Fiddler on the Roof, and we loved the rendition of Tradition! If you love traditions, as well, our worship and ritual committee would love for you to join them. This is a wonderful way to get involved in our congregation and pass our traditions down to your children and future generations.
If interested, please contact Brad Leiser, Ritual and Worship chairperson at bradleiser1@gmail.com

I was gonna…
finish my dissertation about properly aligned closets, but Sisterhood was eminently more fun to write about. Now I know precious little about vegetation even though we’ve had six houses, actually replacing four lawns (New Jersey winters were brutal) and two here in Florida. Who knew St. Augustine grass was a weed and plants need to be updated and uprooted! I would much rather paint the entire house (done 5 years ago…I was too old to do it last year and had to hire a painter - oh, the embarrassment! So, when I saw Sisterhood’s Membership Tea and Flower Arranging, I thought “Grace, give it a go”. Well, I will never be one to remember which growth is a weed or which plant is proper for which part of the lawn. What’s a succulent? Are we talking about plants or food? But Sunday I learned how to arrange these pretty things. Meeting new people, seeing old (not literally, of course) friends. And a special Thank You for you wonderful congregants, Rabbi, Laurie, and all those involved in today’s Green Thumb Bonanza!! It feels so good to be back.
