Men’s and Women’s Groups Joint Dinner Oct. 14
Fun at Joint Men’s and Women’s Group Dinner
Thirteen members of the Men’s and Women’s groups enjoyed good food and conversation at their joint dinner on October 14 at Szechuan Garden restaurant. Special recognition was given to Stu and Susan Richman in honor of their 31st wedding anniversary on that very day!
URGENT ONEG FOR SATURDAY SERVICES
It has been our custom for years to have a light lunch on Saturday Services. It is our way to have lunch with the Rabbi and the members and to enjoy everyone’s company.
We have 10 Saturday services left this year. We normally have a diary lunch. Please pick a Saturday that works for you or maybe join up with another family and plan a luncheon.
It is not hard.
If you can not sign up, maybe make a donation of $50.00 and someone will do the luncheon for you in your name.
Please contact Mark Holt, Vice-President, mark.edward.holt@gmail.com to let him know about the Oneg. If you are making a donation for the Oneg, please make a check out to Congregation Sha’are Shalom.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Lead a Friday evening Shabbat service — we’ll help you!
Our prayer book makes it easy — just choose your favorite reading from each two-page spread, either in English or Hebrew, spoken or sung. We even have some pre-chosen plans to use. The pressure is very low — the audience is usually small and supportive. If you’d rather not write a brief d’var Torah (a mini-sermon on how something from the week’s Torah portion might apply to our lives today), Suzanne Darby has volunteered to write it; and if you’re hesitant about leading songs, I can help out with that.
We’d just like more of our members to come up and play a part in services, and so we’re eager to help any way we can.
You don’t have to know Hebrew, and you just have to be past bar/bat mitzvah age. You can even enlist your spouse and/or kids to be your co-leaders. We’re looking for volunteers for Friday evenings. Please contact me at myerspat@gmail.com to sign up or for more information.
See you at our next service
HELP WANTED
Dates Available for Oneg Sponsors
Shar’are Shalom each Saturday morning (every 2nd Saturday) and Friday night (every 4th Friday) service at the temple ends with the pleasure of fellowship. A little nosh usually makes this fellowship last longer and adds to its delightfulness. Each post service nosh or oneg requires an Oneg Sponsor. Whether it is wine, juice, a challah, and some cookies, or even more – it is always appreciated by those in attendance.
Contact Marshall Jones (Mjones.shaare@gmail.com) if you would like to sponsor an oneg or lead a Friday Night Service or have any questions about doing either.
