Steering Committee meeting, Monday, July 7, 7:30 pm at Rosa Leader-Smith's house in Yonkers. E-mail rleadersmi@aol.com for directions.
Hiking/walking Shabbat service, Saturday, July 26th, 10 am, at Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Cross River, about 50 minutes north of Hastings.
We will be hiking for about 1 1/2 hours along the Leatherman's Loop. We will go at a leisurely pace to an overlook with a view of the Croton Reservoir, stopping along the way for songs, stories, and basic prayers. The event is suitable for Mishkan Ha'amers and guests of all ages. (There are a few short uphill sections of the trail which might cause one to breathe hard just for a few minutes.)
This is our only service until early September. Contact Susan Adler at suepa11@aol.com for directions and details.
Keep in mind ...
Sign up for Hebrew School! Our school, for children in kindergarten through Bar and Bat Mitzvah age, supports our families' desires to raise their children with a deep appreciation, understanding, and excitement for Jewish life in its various manifestations - cultural, religious, and communal. In building our Hebrew School community, we strive to create a climate of acceptance and security, where all questions are honored and each child is appreciated.
