REPAIRING OUR BELOVED TORAH SCROLL
Rabbi Gail Fisher led a dedicated group of volunteers in cleaning and repairing our sacred Torah scroll on August 3. The crew wiped both sides of the entire scroll with special sponges and repaired sections that were coming apart with special thread (thanks to Jackie Schoch for her sewing skills).
Saturday Morning Service August 9 at 10 am
GREATEST HITS! A Shabbat to remember – Saturday, August 9, at 10 AM
Join us for a joyful and lively Shabbat service featuring a Torah portion that contains some of our “greatest hits”! Before we begin the reading, Rabbi Gail will invite everybody – in particular, our children – for a peek into our scroll at these fascinating sections. Learn too the double specialness of this day on the Jewish calendar. As always, you can expect meaningful prayer, spirited singing, and plenty of schmoozing, which will continue into our delicious kiddush, provided this month by Marshall Jones. Oh, and did we mention that we’re going to learn an Israeli dance?? We hope to see you there.

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.
