OCTOBER EVENTS

It is hard to believe it’s October! But we have several fun and educational programs planned for the next couple of weeks.

SUKKOT – 10/08/2020 – 7pm
           First, is our annual Sukkot celebration, being held this Thursday, October 8, 2020 at 7pm via Zoom (see flyer below). Given COVID restrictions we are prevented from our usual celebration at the home of Jo and Jim Schwartz, and we will seriously miss their beautiful Sukkah and the lovely evening it always turns out to be. I have it on good authority, however, that this week’s event will be great. We will be joined by Rabbi Becky and Cantor Ken, for story and song. Refreshments will have to be provided individually. Be sure to check your email for the Zoom link to be provided later this week.

BALLOT MEASURES – 10/18/2020 – 2pm
           In conjunction with the TAS Social Action Committee we are pleased to have our own Fran Lapides, representing the League of Women Voters with us once again. Fran will be reviewing the ballot measures on November’s ballot to give us insight into the issues, the pros and cons and the impact of each of the ballot measures. Please feel free to share the link that will be provided with any of your friends or family who are interested.

WRJ-PD CONVENTION – 10/24 TO 10/25 – VIA ZOOM
           As a reminder, Women of Reform Judaism, Pacific District Convention is being held via Zoom from 10/24/20 – 10/25/2020. Registration is free, although they are requesting donations. Here is the link to the WRJ-PD website which provides registration information and an idea of the programs being offered. I encourage all of you to attend as much of the convention as you can. It is a very worthwhile experience. Registration is at www.wrjpacific.org. Registration is open until 10/19/20.

A Final Thought
“We have no understanding of the energy that God planted within our souls. Therefore, God has to test us to bring forth those treasures that are buried deep within ourselves and make us unique.” Rebbeztin Esther Jungreis
