Hello everyone! I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July weekend! We got lucky with the weather, for the most part. And, hopefully, today we will get a bit more desperately needed rain!
| Keep up with what is going on at the Temple by checking the Website calendar frequently! Check out the Calendar page at: www.florencetemple.org. |
I wanted to let you know that Rabbi Nancy has had a conflict with this Friday and has asked to reschedule for the 15th. So, this Friday services will be led by Robert Adler and then Nancy will be here the 15th and the 22nd. Sorry for the late notice but something just came up for her late last week and this is the first chance I have had to share that change. The dates that Rabbi Nancy will be leading our services in July and August are:
- July 15 and 22
- August 12 and 26
Everyone is also invited and encouraged to attend the weekly Torah Study group that meets each Saturday morning at 9:30, at the Temple.
For those of you who see this message this morning, I want to remind you that Howard Zeff sent out a note last week letting us know that there will be a Rummage Sale organizational meeting TODAY (7/5) at 2:00 at the Temple. Lots of volunteers are needed so, if you can make it, please do! This can be a great fundraising opportunity for us so please come help out!
Reminder items:
- We are responsible for desserts at the Soup Kitchen Saturday, July 16th. Please plan to bring homemade (a favorite) or store-bought dessert items to the Temple no later than 9:30am, Saturday, July 16. If you prefer, you can also make a financial donation that will be used to purchase any additional desserts needed. (Make all checks payable to Temple B’nai Israel.)
- Please mark your calendar for Saturday, July 23 and get ready to have some fun when the Temple hosts a WC Handy Festival event called the Ten Gallon Yarmulka…featuring our very own Rabbi Nancy Tunick and her talented husband, Scott Whitehead! The Social Committee is working on all the specifics related to hosting the event – and volunteers will be needed – so, stay tuned for more details to come. In the meantime, mark it on your calendar and plan to be there!
- The Temple Rummage Sale and Picnic is scheduled for Saturday, August 20th. Clean out those closets and save it for the big sale! Again, the Social Committee is working on specifics for this event and they will share more details soon. Between now and then we will likely have one or two Temple clean-out days so look for that announcement and plan to pitch in on this much-needed task!
If you are aware of something in the community that you would like me to draw some attention to in my message, please let me know! And, as always, if you have any announcements you would like for me to share with our membership, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
I will not be at services this Friday as I have company coming to town so I will miss seeing everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful week and I will look forward to seeing you on the 15th!
Shalom!
Traci Welch
