Congregation Rinat Yisrael

Dear Friends,

Purim just ended and we had a very successful Mishloah Manot fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who contributed, packed, and drove to help make the Mishloach Manot fundraiser a huge success. A special Thank You to: Barbara Hochman, Ilana Wertenteil, Chaire Kershenbaum, Miriam Berman, Gila Stone, Elana Leiber, Charlie Eisenberg, Edan Nayowitz & The Judaica House, Monica from Fancy Delights and Adina Kirshner for all the background work, data entry, creativity and suggestions. Our packers: Nafi and Elana Leiber, Talia and Beth Wittenberg, Susan and Rena Levin, Felicia Grossman, Einat Zolty and Sharon Rifkind; and the families who delivered the packages:  Schnaidman, Kershenbaum, Ash, Zolty, Sragow, Cottrell, Faber, Applebaum, Schechter, Ickowitz, Landa, Levine, Stone, Feuerstein/Rudin, Katz, Birman, Mann, Glicksman, Samuel, Atwood, Zelig, Wertenteil, Klein, Bendavid, Golubtchik, Krim, Judas, Fineberg, Novetsky, Last, Tollinsky, Davis, Brandriss, and Clark. Once again, it was a huge success. We hope you all enjoyed your packages. Like last year, we were able to give a donation of $ 3,600 to the Rabbi's Discretionary Fund. We were able to give the donation because we put less food into the packages.

Nerot had a very successful bowling event February 20th. Teams were made by choosing numbers out of a cup and everyone came home having met at least one new couple. Stay tuned for more enjoyable Nerot events!

For Shavuot, we will once again be having a Bake Sale. If you are interested in baking, please e-mail binafaber [at] yahoo [dot] com.

We are planning a Pre-Mother's Day/Pre-Shavuot / Pre-camp Boutique in our new social hall. If you are interested in selling items at the boutique or know someone who is, please let us know or be in touch with Reva Judas.
