National Bagel Day was this past Sunday. I hope everyone celebrated accordingly.
Here's what's up this week!
HEBREW HIGH IS CANCELED DUE TO THE IMPENDING SNOW STORM
Tu b'Shvat is Coming Up!
We invite all generations of our congregation to join us as we immerse ourselves in Spring and embrace new growth for Tu b’Shvat – a celebration of trees. Our Seder will feature a tasting of the four fruits of Tu b’Shvat, four cups of grape juice, and an exploration of their significance.
Join us in the Social Hall on Sunday, February 5, where we will have a variety of tree-themed hands-on activities to engage all participants during the seder. Please RSVP by January 27. (Our Madrichimot are expected to be there, but everyone is invited to come!)
Save The Date! We have some fun events coming up...
Jewish Family Service and the Jewish Federation of Omaha is sponsoring presenters from the Set Me Free Project and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to provide three parallel sessions to middle school students, high school students and parents, each of the following Tuesday nights, from 7-8:30PM, starting February 7th. Registration will be posted soon on the Jewish Federation of Omaha website with links for each session on the home page.
Purim is Quickly Approaching!
On March 3rd, 2023 there will be a Purim Lock-In for all 8th-12th graders! Starting at 8:00pm we hope you'll join us to help set up the carnival, be the first to play the games, and have some fun. This year the lock-in is the Friday before the carnival, so we will have time to get some more sleep before Sunday. More information will be coming soon, but you can RSVP early.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to Jay Ascher, Director of Youth Engagement at (973) 985 - 7419 or jascher@templeisraelomaha.com
