The Sherwin-Jordans will sponsor an Oneg Shabbat in honor of Robbi and Mark’s 25th wedding anniversary, I’ll be leading an interactive D’var Torah on the subject of dreams, and Cantor Sherwin will offer a song from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat , Any Dream Will Do."

Rebbe & Rebbetzin's Tisch, Friday, December 1st, 6:30 pm, Rabbi Kerry & Lynda Baker's home.
Shabbat as it should be - at home, surrounded by family and friends with great food, stories, songs, and of course, schmoozin'! A great Kol Halev tradition, all are welcome to the home of Rabbi Kerry, Lynda & Emily Baker. Please bring a dish to share: dairy/pareve only. Please call (512) 419-0945 or email Rabbi Baker <rabbi@kolhalev.org> to RSVP.

Torah Study, Tuesday, November 28th, Noon, CKH Office.

....  And Beyond  ....

Celebration of Shabbat and Chanukah, Friday evening, December 15th.
Each family or individual is encouraged to bring a menorah to light (CKH will offer menorot for anyone who does not have their own menorah).  There will be a creative, values-centered candle-lighting ceremony which will focus on the “hidden heroines” of Jewish history.  Rabbi Baker will tell a traditional Chanukah folk-tale and, of course, we will sing many of the time-honored Chanukah songs you know and love.  And there will be Chanukah gifts for the kids, too!  After the service, we will enjoy a latke dinner catered by Paul and Joni Constantine.

In Remembrance

Jewish War Veterans

On December 17 at 10 am, Austin Post 757 of the Jewish War veterans of the USA (JWV) will host a membership brunch at the at the Dell Jewish Community Center. We are proud to announce that Admiral Bobby Inman (retired) will be our featured speaker. Admiral Inman served as Director of the National Security Agency and as deputy Director of the CIA. He will speak to us on current events affecting Israel and the United States. We invite Jewish Veterans who are not members of post 757 and spouses as our guests at the brunch.

JWV has a richly deserved reputation as an Action organization. The Austin post proudly implements that designation by its four fold mission:

1.Jewish Veterans helping American Veterans

2.Jewish Veterans educating the Austin Jewish Community on the role of Jewish veterans in the United States

3.Jewish veterans supporting the State of Israel

4.Jewish Veterans helping Jewish Soldiers

If you want to learn more about how we do this, please come to our brunch on December 17. To reserve a place, contact Neil Goldman: phone 342 8233, email ngoldman1@austin.rr.com.
