LAST STAGE CALL!!
Dear Friends,
No Purim is ever complete without a Purim shpiel – a play of the Megillah (story of Purim). But a shpiel needs actors! We've gotten a few volunteers, but we would love more involvement! There will be no memorization of lines, as narrators will be on hand for those who are shy to speak. We also will not need much rehearsal time for us to present a short, entertaining re-enactment of the Purim story. Adult or kids who are interested, please contact Erin at erin@grs.org.
Also for the Purim shpiel, children and adult costumes are needed, including dress-up clothing, funny hats, glasses, and masks.
Costumes for boys/men are especially needed.
Thank you!
Rabbi Andy

Dear Friends,
Thanks to all of you, last Shabbat's New Member Consecration and dinner
were amazing!
AND NOW for somthing
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT…
This Erev Shabbat, Friday, February, 10 at 6:30 pm, our service will take place arround the dinner table for our Tu B'Shevat seder.
In the tradition, Passover, with Haggadah in hand,
we will experience the first signs of spring in the land of Israel. Together we will celebrate the bounty of the earth, with rituals including white and red wine (or grape juice for children) and special fruits, native to Israel and welcome Shabbat, all at the dinner table in the social hall.
Of course, Cantor Lipton and I will provide an opportunity for both the Mi Shebeirach, the prayer for healing, and the recitation of Kaddish.
Bring your favorite winter comfort food, and enjoy the warmth of family and friends on Shabbat. Israeli style foods are certainly in order! Please contact Shelly Kaplan at kaplanhouse22@yahoo.com to let her know what you would like to contribute.

Dear Friends,
While every Family Shabbat is replete with ruach – spirit, song, birthday blessings, not to mention our wonderful pot-luck dinners full of child-friendly activities, this coming Shabbat, February 3, 2012, will mark the second GRS NEW MEMBER CONSECRATION – a welcoming of all new members!
Together, we will formally honor our new members as they come up to the bima for a special ceremony. Yet, beyond the pageantry, the key ingredient is YOU! Come meet and greet the newest gifts to GRS, as we expand and deepen our temple family.
Please RSVP to Louise Salzer at salzerhouse@aol.com to let her know what you will be bringing to our dinner.
Let us share the warmth,
Rabbi Andy
