Our Sukkot meeting is this Thurs. Oct 5

10/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Our Sukkot celebration is this Thursday, Oct 5, 7pm at Jo Schwartz's house.  Will we see you there?  If you haven't RSVP'd, shoot Alyce an email ([email protected]) or call her (818-787-9058) and she will provide the address.  Led by our Cantor Ken, this is a fun, schmoozy, event with lots of camaraderie and singing.  We are doing our traditional "A-L bring dessert; M-Z bring an appetizer" (not that we specify whether to use your first name, last name, middle name or nickname - take your pick!)
Picture
We already sent over $500 in gift cards to Texas, but if you want to contribute, you still can; we are also still collecting for hurricane victims.  If you want to bring gift cards (Target, Walmart, Home Depot and/or Kroger/Ralphs) to Thursday's meeting, Mel Birken will take care of sending them to a Temple that can use them or distribute them to families in need.  Or drop them off at the Temple in a sealed envelope marked "Sisterhood - for Hurricane victims"
If you prefer to donate $$$$ directly, here are some options:
=> To donate to the Hebrew Congregation of St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands) go to this website:http://synagogue.vi/donate/hurricane-irma-relief-effort/
=> To give to Shaare Zedek / JCC of Puerto Rico got to: http://www.jccpr.org/
Also, physical donations can be brought to a local Puerto Rican restaurant, Mofongos, which is at 5757 Lankershim. Right now, they are asking for cleaning and baby items( diapers, wipes, clothing, and kids clothes , socks and underwear.)  Later they will take adult clothing.  Also bottled water and non perishable food.
Speaking of food, here is a quick overview of the Jewish calendar:
   Rosh Hashanah -- Feast
   Yom Kippur -- Fast
   Sukkot -- Feast
   Hoshanah Rabbah -- More feasting
   Simchat Torah -- Keep feasting
   Month of Heshvan-No feasts or fasts for a whole month. Get a grip on yourself.
   Hanukkah -- Eat potato pancakes
   Tenth of Tevet -- Do not eat potato pancakes
   Tu B'Shevat -- Feast
   Fast of Esther -- Fast
   Purim -- Eat pastry
   Passover -- Do not eat pastry
   Shavuot -- Dairy feast (cheesecake, blintzes etc.)
   Seventeenth of Tammuz-Fast (definitely no cheesecake or blintzes)
   Nine days of Av -- Don't eat meat.
   Might be OK to eat cheescake or blintzes.
   Tish B'Av -- Very strict fast (don't even think about cheesecake or blintzes)
   Month of Elul -- End of cycle.
   Enroll in Center for Eating Disorders before High Holidays arrive again.
