SUKKAH DEDICATION

Please join us Friday, September 27 at 5:3 pm for the dedication of our beautiful new sukkah. We want to thank Elizabeth and Justin James and their family for caring so much about our community and our traditions. Our new sukkah is a great upgrade from our old one and we are so thankful to have members who stepped forward to lend their expertise and support in accomplishing this. Please come and honor them with us.

Dear friends - Our Torah Fund Campaign for 2019-2020 has begun.  The theme for this year is Chesed which means kindness. Deeds of loving-kindness are one of the three central pillars of Jewish life. As it is said in Psalm 89 "may we build a world of kindness." 
To proudly wear your Torah Fund pin for 5780 please call Susan Forman at 813-286-8133.

For our program this year we are going down memory lane.
Please bring the youngest picture of yourself. Don’t put your name on it, we will guess who it is.
Still going down memory lane we will play name that tune from the 30s, 40s and 50s.

CANTOR'S CORNER

​​​​​​​One evening, Goldie Markowitz left dinner in the oven for a little bit too long and the kitchen filled with smoke -- the smoke detector went off. Goldie searched the house for her children only to find them in the bathroom, washing their hands. 

Over the loud buzzing of the smoke alarm, Goldie asked them to identify the sound. 

"It's the smoke detector," they replied in unison. 

"Do you know what that sound means?" Goldie demanded. 

"Sure,” they replied. "Dinner's ready."
