Send 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.
