Dear Friends,
Now that we’ve had a chance to catch our collective breath after
Rosh Hashanah, I wish to thank everybody who came, participated, and helped in
various ways with set-up, clean-up and other chores. A special thank you to Paul for his service
as Ba’al Tekiyah. I heard so many
positive comments about the effort he put into making the experience of the
Shofar, one of the key elements of the festival, memorable to all.
We regret that
several of our ‘regulars’ were unable to attend because of illness and other
impediments. We certainly hope to see all
of you soon.
I heard only positive comments about
the Seder on Sunday night and the service on Monday morning. Particularly positive was the feedback about
the venue, the QCWA Hall in Southport.
Know that I have taken the feedback to heart and am working on moving our
regular programming to this venue. Many
of you thought that it compares favourably with the Community Centre, and with
the Levy home.
Please don’t forget, we’ll have our
regular Friday evening gathering to welcome Shabbat, this Friday at 6.30PM at the
Levy’s. A hot dinner will follow the
service. We’re asking for a donation of
$15 for non-members who attend. The
Saturday morning program is still in recess for the rest of the month.
Next week, we gather to observe Yom
Kippur. Tuesday night, 22 September at 7.00PM
at the QCWA Hall for the Kol Nidrei Service.
Wednesday, 23 September at 2.00PM (until 5.00PM) at the same location
for the afternoon/Yizkor/closing services. (Note: NO Yom Kippur Morning Service will be
offered.) Requested donation for
non-members is $15 for each service.
After the conclusion of the services
on Wednesday, you are invited to the Levy home for an informal
break-the-fast. Requested donation for
all is $18 per person. If you’re planning
to come to this and have not yet told us, we request your RSVP ASAP.
Continued best wishes for a Sweet
Year and a Favourable Sealing, and looking forward to seeing you soon!
Rabbi Don
