Adult Learning - Musar
                                       The Board met on March 18 and,
Every Tuesday at 8:00pm CDT,
                                       after a d’var Torah and Rabbi’s
via Zoom
                                       report, discussed the re-opening of the synagogue, exploring

                                       to those who wish to attend remotely, which we are exploring. A
                                       continuing topic of conversation is how to handle the
Men’s Lunch
                                       transactions of cemetery plots for which the Board is seeking
                                       more information.
The program of monthly
Men’s Lunches is suspended
until further notice. We will
                                       ~Stephanie Shine
resume swapping jokes and
lies when we can do so
without also swapping viruses.

1. What are your first memories of Congregation Shaareth Israel?

Beautiful building and welcoming people.

2. What role has the Congregation played in your life?
I enjoyed going each week and I enjoyed teaching music to the religious school students greatly.
I will always feel that Congregation Shaareth Israel is my primary Temple, my heart place. I’ll
always be a part of the synagogue.

3. What role has the Congregation had in this community?
A strong Jewish presence in the community.

Ruth also sent us one of her drawings from her Roothy’s Zoo collection, noting, considering that
we live in these bizarre times, quirkiness helps!
