 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 Holydays. We'll say farewell to Shabbat then learn texts to sharpen ourselves so we might be ready, intellectually, to approach the Holydays.
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.

 Join us for Community Garden Planting
Sundays, September 12, 19 and 26, 9:00 am to Noon
"Think global, and act local" or so the saying goes. The urban garden movement that is sweeping the nation has arrived in Miami, and is alive and well at our very own Temple Israel! We need to sustain this very important project in the New Year.
All temple members and interested parties are welcome and greatly encouraged to get their hands dirty and to "lend a hand." Produce will be donated to the Lotus House Homeless Shelter in Overtown. Please RSVP to Phyllis at 305-573-5900, ext. 405 or plittman@templeisrael.net if you are able to join us.
