Welcome Back and Renewal Celebration - Friday, August 27
School is back in session and summer will soon be over. It's time once again for our annual Welcome Back dinner. This year is special because we are not only kicking off a new year, but we are welcoming back our Rabbi from sabbatical. We are especially anxious to welcome back Rabbi Audrey Pollack and her family from Israel, and hear all about her sabbatical and time of renewal. We are also very fortunate to have musician Dan Nichols join us for this special "welcome-back" evening. He will provide music for ous Shabbat service and will perform a concert after dinner.
Service, 6:00 p.m. Dinner at 6:45 p.m. Concert after dinner
Reservations for the dinner are closed, but everyone is welcome to the concert after dinner!
Sisterhood Opening Brunch, August 29, 10 a.m.
Be sure to reconnect with your 'sisters' at Temple on Sunday, August 29. The opening brunch will feature our own Karen Fingerman, professor of gerontology, developmental and family studies at Purdue, who speaks to us on again successfully. You may be interested in reading about another area of Karen's research - parents' feelings about their adult children by accessing: http://www.womenshealth.gov/news/english/642095.htm. Her work is clearly very interesting.
