Dear Allness:
Shavuot begins Sunday night, June 1st, and it is traditional to engage in Torah Study. Having a DAIRY meal for Shavuot is also a tradition.
In anticipation of the holiday, we will be having a DAIRY potluck to welcome our new members to our growing TBT community. The potluck will be held at the Temple May 30th at 5:30 to be followed by services and Oneg. These dinners and services have always been fun and filled with good food and energy. Please RSVP to Kari Bowen-Zilkenat and let us know what DAIRY item you will be bringing by May 27th.
On Sunday, June 1st, there will be a light dairy meal at Rabbi Marcy’s house followed by a short study session focusing on Shavuot and Chagall. Please let Kari or Rabbi know by May 30th what DAIRY dish you are bringing and how many people will be in attendance.
Kari 713-494-5946 (or reply to this email)
Rabbi Marcy 713-705-7662
The Rabbi will give you her address when you call her regarding Shavuot in her home.
On the Wednesday or Thursday prior to the potluck, we thought it might be fun to get together and go to the Dairy Maids Cheese Shop in Houston. Please let the Rabbi know by the 25th if you are interested in this adventure. We will make travel plans accordingly.
We look forward to being together in celebration of our new members and Shavuot.
Kari Bowen-Zilkenat
Member, TBT Sisterhood
P.S. I will bring homemade macaroni and cheese.
We need Dairy main dishes, salads—veggies—fruit, desserts and drinks.
The Temple Beth Tikvah Sisterhood is a vital part of the TBT community, providing for many of the temple’s needs. Each year annual dues are collected prior to the beginning of the Jewish new year at Rosh Hashanah. Annual Sisterhood dues are only $30.00 for members of TBT and $36.00 for non-members. These dues allow the Sisterhood to keep our temple kitchen stocked; provide paper goods, coffee and drinks for our Oneg Shabbats and other Holy Day celebrations, like our Rosh Hashanah Apples & Honey Oneg, Yom Kippur Break Fast and our Hanukkah Menorah Lighting Service. It also goes to purchase all of the ritual foods for our Passover Seder; put on the Annual Chicken Soup Cook-Off; purchase gifts for our B’nai Mitzvah kids; supplement other Sisterhood events and help our temple in so many ways.
