Tikkun
Olam
Tikkun
Olam’s mission is to “Repair the World.”
We have done this through projects and donations. The
events in Haiti in January were catastrophic. In order
to help, Bet Shira’s Tikkun Olam made a $500.00
donation for Haiti Relief through the Greater Miami Jewish
Federation.
Thank
you to Pris Adler and to all who volunteered
at the Seymour Gelber Adult Day Care Center on February
21, 2010 where we restored neglected gardens.
MITZVAH
DAY is coming, March 14, 2010.
We hope you have had an opportunity to review the mailing
on MITZVAH DAY and have signed up to do your share in
repairing the world. This is an opportunity for families
to join together and for all our members to select a worthwhile
and gratifying project. Partner with Bet Shira’s
Tikkun Olam Committee and sign up for Mitzvah Day. Our
school children make sandwiches for the hungry; members
donate blood, visit shelters, clean an area at the zoo,
and plant trees. The B’nai Mitzvah students will
have displays of the mitzvah projects in the lobby. At
the synagogue, we will be collecting clothing to be distributed
to shelters and various agencies. B’nai Mitzvah

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE
The much
awaited Progressive Dinner was held on Saturday
evening, January 23rd. A large crowd of enthusiastic
congregants started the evening with hors d’oeuvres
at the beautiful home of Iane and Steve
Deutsch. The weather was great and our hosts
were very welcoming. At approximately 7:45 pm we split
into different groups for the main dinner course and wine
at the homes of Messrs. Blum, Hochman, Lichtman,
Serota, Shapiro, Sleeman and Stein. After dinner
we all re-grouped at the home of Marleen and Martin
Applebaum for Havdalah, dessert and coffee. Everyone
was raving about the delicious dinners that they had at
the main course host homes and were enjoying the lovely
desserts that the Applebaum’s had provided.
Rabbi
Caplan and Cantor Kula led the group in a short and moving
Havdalah ceremony, after which we sang Happy Birthday
to a surprised Susie Novak. Carol
Stein is congratulated for leading the organization
of this memorable evening.
