Adult Education Meeting
   

If you are interested in having input in adult education classes for the coming year, we are having a meeting at the Temple this Thursday, July 24th at 7:30 PM.

Calendar Planning Meeting, Sunday,

July 27, at 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Please join us for this year's first programming meeting and a light brunch (a little bird mentioned blintzes!) Our intention will be the planning of the upcoming year in a creative and cooperative fashion, making sure that we provide a reasonable, educational and enjoyable number of events (without over-committing our resources).  Let's map out the holidays, special social events, adult education seminars/classes, coffeehouses, movies, cooking classes and retreats/day trips, etc.

Please bring your dreams and imagination, along with a willingness to take ownership of the events that interest you.  Know that ownership doesn't necessarily mean running the event; you can recruit and/or delegate to make something happen.   

Of course, please invite any other interested friends/members. An RSVP to Jeff Kaminsky is appreciated.   

Looking forward to a productive and exciting year!

Helping out Holocaust Survivors 

This appeal comes from Vicki Brail, who was contacted by a Bonnie Schwartzman, Director of the Kosher Food Bank, Jewish Community Services of South Florida.

Many JCS clients are in need of towels and linens. They do not mind if they are very gently used and in good condition.

If you have some extra towels or sheets and are cleaning out your closets this summer, please feel free to drop them at the JCS Kosher Food bank, Bet Shira Congregation or contact Eileen Far at 305-804-3771 and we will distribute them to these seniors in need.

We invite any of our members and friends to join us for this 21 day Spiritual and Meditative Journey offered by Deepak Chopra and Oprah. With the oncoming season of deep reflection for the Jewish people, this would be a ideal opportunity to connect with the energy of the Universe ,and to whatever God you are committed to.

The start date is August 11th , so interested enrolees should reserve your space in the free series as soon as possible.

We would like to develop a "reflection group" to meet at the Temple on a scheduled basis to process and discuss the impact of the program in our personal lives and our search for more expansive living or healing.  If you would like to come together with other fellow travelers on the spiritual journey, and share the journey in a loving way, send an email to or call the Temple office.  Tell us your best way to be contacted , phone, email. cell, etc., and your preference for a daytime or evening gathering.  Arlene Miller will get back to you regarding scheduling and further details .

Hope you and friends who have an interest in furthering spiritual development will join so that we can develop a really loving and supportive harmonious community!

They have not released the full program design and time yet. It will be audio/video  session, I think, each day for 2l days. Usually if you can't make the presentation time, there will be a replay later in the day, so everyone should be able to keep up. Once you sign up for the free program, they will send you an email with further instructions.  

Shalom...In Peace and Harmony for the World!

PS. I need a few volunteers to help me with the program. Will you sign up to help, please!
