It's 2011! I hope everyone had a restful and refreshing break, whether you went away or not. I was in Buffalo visiting family and returned with a nasty cold. I should hopefully be recovered by Wednesday when everyone returns to classes, including Prophet Study group, Adult Ed. Hebrew and Religious School.
I hope everyone will join us for Saturday morning services when our own Kitah Zayin/7th Grade leads the morning worship. The class parents are providing a lunch afterwards, to which everyone is also welcome to attend. Later this month we have the Bar Mitzvah of Sam Edwards-Kuhn on January 22nd. It's a wonderful event in the life of our Jewish community and I encourage all of you to attend worship services and support Sammy. Sam has been an active participant in our Youth Service Choir on the High Holidays as well as playing violin during those services. As part of his mitzvah project he is collecting new or slightly used children's books so please bring one to Temple next time you are here.
Sisterhood Shabbat is January 28th. Sisterhood members (and Shabbat Choir) will be leading the service that night. Rabbi gets a break!
And Chai School starts up again this January 20th. We have a wonderful roster of course offerings. If you have a teenager, whether or not s/he has attended Chai School, or even Hebrew school before, is welcome to attend. Go to our website for course selections and to register: www.templesinaivt.org
BTW, if you get the Sunday Burlington Free Press, you may have seen our own Tanya Stone's article in the Arts section yesterday about using local products. In Tanya's case, she used local talent to enhance her latest book, "The Good, the Bad and the Barbie." Next month, February 12th, Tanya will be leading an ALEINU (that's our Adult Education Saturday night living room lecture series) on this topic. Stay tuned for details.
Welcome back and have a wonderful 2011!
