Once again a busy week is almost past, and we can look forward to a relaxing and spiritual Shabbat experience with our friends!
You're invited to join us at the Levy's tomorrow, Friday evening at 6.30PM for the Shabbat evening service followed by a hot dinner. meat this week, although there will be a vegetarian option for those who prefer. We ask a $15 donation per persion attending, except Jewish Journeys' members.
Saturday morning. Last week Paul proposed, and those in attendance seemed to like, the following idea: instead to joining together, those who are interested, to have lunch in a restaurant, we remain at the hall. Everybody bring their own sack lunch - this is not a 'pot luck'! - and we'll sit, eat, enjoy one another's company and study a bit. Everybody who cares to, can donate to Jewish Journeys the $20 you would have spent in the restaurant as a boost to help us through our funding difficulties. (This is in addition to the $15 per person donation that we ask of all those attending the service, except members).
The only difference to what was proposed last week, is that we are not going to start half an hour early, at 9.30AM as announced. Several people expressed concern about that. So we're going to start at ourregular time, 10.00AM but otherwise we're going to try what Paul proposed. Bring a sandwich or something for lunch - remember, you can stow it in the fridge at the hall during the service - and we'll sit down together, all who can stay, after the service. We have the hall until 1.00PM.
Of course, the hall I refer to is our usual meeting place, the QCWA Hall in Southport. And remember, I am welcoming suggestions for topics for the table lessons! If you have something you'd like to learn, your letting me know in advance will enable me to do some research and maybe prepare handouts or other materials.
Remember, we're taking bookings for the Tu B'shvat Seder which will be on Sunday, 24 January at 6.00PM at Sharon Barnett's home. $36 donation per person, $10 for children. I don't need payment now, but I do need to know if you"re planning to come.
Finally, I have been invited to speak at an inter-faith function at 3.00PM on Thursday, 28 January at St. Martin's House, St. John's Cathedral, 373 Ann Street in Brisbane. You are all welcome to come if you're available! If you'd like to go, and would like to travel up together, please let me know right away. Maybe after the program, we'll go someplace in Brissy for a no-host dinner.
Looking forward to seeing you on Shabbat and beyond...
Rabbi Don
