Gilad Home
June
25, 2010 marked four years
since the kidnapping of Gilad Shalit.
Our tradition teaches that pidyon
shevuyim (redeeming captives) is of
paramount importance. What can you do?
Keep Gilad Shalit in
your thoughts and prayers all month long
and spread the word. Join our yellow
balloon campaign and let the
world know, Gilad Shalit is not
forgotten.

Seudah
Shlishit will resume October 9, 2010
On
Shabbat afternoon between Minha, the
afternoon service and Maariv,
the evening service, we share in the
beautiful tradition of Seudah
Shlishit, "The Third Meal."
This lovely tradition helps
fulfill the
mitzvah of eating three proper meals on
Shabbat. It is time to eat, to
schmooze, to study and sing Zmirot, the
distinctive and beautiful
Shabbat melodies and to chant the Birkat
Hamazon, the Grace after Meals.
Please plan on joining us on Shabbat
afternoon. Let it be a time to
challenge your mind, uplift and refresh
the spirit. The Shabbat will be
for you as special and beautiful as you
allow it to become.
Sponsorships
are available
$80.00
Sponsoring
Seudah Shlishit is also a unique
opportunity to observe a
special birthday or anniversary with
your friends and family. Please
call Joan or Phil Redisch at
727-546-4291 to reserve a date - TODAY!

Fabulous
and New Gift & Craft Show
GIVE
A GIFT CERTIFICATE
In
the heat of the summer, the CBI Gift
and Craft Show Committee is already
busy planning a new and exciting event
that will
light up this Hanukkah season even more
than before! This year, the festivities
begin on Saturday,
December 4, with an opening night
dessert reception from 8 pm to 10:30 pm.
Sunday December 5, from 10 am to 8 pm, vendors
will "de-light" you and your
family with
a full day of shopping for unique
specialty items and fine crafts for men,
women, children, pets, the home,
employers, employees, teachers or anyone
who deserves a token of your esteem!
Since the show happens in the middle of
Hanukkah, this presents a great opportunity
to take advantage of CBI gift
certificates that are available
throughout the year. Give certificates
on the first days of Hanukkah as
gifts to children, family and friends,
to spend at the Gift and Craft Show.
Gift certificates also make great
corporate gifts since
they are available in any denomination.
Got the munchies before, during or after
shopping? Check out Generations: An
Ethnic Café
for delicious food, desserts and drinks
to keep you energized for browsing for
more great buys. After you shop, no need
to
drop—keep your holiday spirits
soaring at the Community Hanukkah Bash
on Sunday, after the show,
The
event committee welcomes volunteers for
all aspects of the fun.
Please
call Susie Berman at 410-6448 or the
synagogue office for further details.
