 Sisterhood Meeting
Everyone is invited!
Sunday, August 29, 2010, 11:00 AM
Colleeh Ahern-Hettich of the Miami-Dade College Earth Ethics Institute will talk to us about the CROPS (Community Rooted Organic Produce Service) Buying Club program initiated at the Miami-Dade College campus.
What is a Buying Club?
A buying club is a group of people who share a common goal - to save money on quality healthy foods, while at the same time supporting organic farming practices and local farmers. This promotes ecological harmony and environmental responsibility. Pooling resources creates greater purchasing power, which enables the group to buy organic food at close to conventional produce prices. If you are interested, please join us on Sunday to learn how to join the Earth Ethics Institute's CROPS program.

 Selichot: A Service of Forgiveness
Saturday, September 4, 2010, 7:30PM
Refreshments: At 7:30PM we gather to welcome each other back from our summer activities, to greet newcomers, to make new friends over coffee and dessert.
Focusing: That begun, the cantor will lead us into the chapel with a niggun (a wordless melody) to set the tone for the Holy Days. We'll say farewell to Shabbat then learn texts to sharpen ourselves so we might be ready, intellectually, to approach the Holy Days.
Becoming: We'll begin the process of spiritual preparedness through prayer, song, and interpretive dance and movement pieces created and presented by Jessica Pusceddu, a professional dancer and yoga teacher.
