More Volunteers Still Needed for Sisterhood Garage Sale

Sisterhood’s garage sale is coming up soon and we’re working hard to get enough volunteers to make it a success.  We hope that all Temple members will consider volunteering for one or two shifts.  We have shifts available morning, afternoon and some nights from July 22 through August 5.  Garage sale volunteers work hard while having fun together, making new friends, and eating yummy food. Most importantly, they do a great mitzvah for our synagogue and community.

This year, we are using VolunteerSpot, a web service, to help us organize volunteers for the sale.  

To sign up as a volunteer, just click this link: http://www.volunteerspot.com/login/entry/61-623910698115.

When you get to the site, you'll be asked for your e-mail address and they'll send you a personal link to actually sign up.  It’s very easy and only takes a few minutes!  

If you would prefer to volunteer by phone, or have any questions, please call Leslie Held at 952-920-5376 or contact her at lheld18@comcast.net.

Thanks so much to everyone for supporting us with donations and volunteer hours!

Preparing for the Tishrei Holidays:
Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Simchat Torah

This class is free and open to all, and will be led by Rabbi Jared Saks.

Our fall holidays are filled with celebration, introspection and joy. Come learn about their historical and religious significance, and the observances, customs and traditions associated with Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah. We will explore these themes during this season of soul-searching and performing t’shuvah (repentance or forgiveness).

Students taking our Introduction to Judaism class are encouraged to take this workshop.
