Project Atideinu
Thanks to all who participated in the successful matching of the Sorrentino grant. However, we are still considerably short of our total campaign goal. We are in the early stages of the fabrication of the donor plaques that will grace the wall of our new community hall. If you have not yet made a gift to Project Atideinu and want your name on the plaque, please do so no later than February 10th. If you have made a gift, please consider increasing it at this time to move to another category. Questions? Please contact Raelaine Radnitz at 972-250-2488 or raelaine@aol.com.

Havurah
Individual havurot are small groups that have similar goals with Judaism as the binding thread. The word havurah is Hebrew for fellowship. New havurot are being formed at Temple and we would love to add you to the mix. Each group determines for themselves what their emphasis will be and how often they will meet. Whether it's up social, study-oriented or community service, the choice is up to you. A Havurah is a great way to meet new temple members and form lasting friendships, which will ultimately add something to each of our Jewish lives. Contact Marcia or Ted Gold at 972-618-7088 or marcia@goldcruiseandtour.com and give them your name, phone number and email address.
