High Holy Days Volunteers

The High Holy Days are just around the corner. Amazing. The first night of Rosh Hashanah is Wednesday, September 12th. We already have several volunteers both from previous years and brand new volunteers. But we still need help.

We are looking for a few more people to help with set-up and decorations, break-down, parking, tickets, the Yizkor book, and Children's Services. Maybe you and a few friends would like to volunteer for set-up or break-down together. If organizing is your thing, we need someone to compile the Yizkor book. If anyone, especially our teens, is interested in helping with the Children's Services, please contact Hal Weiner.

Also, our fabulous shofar blower is unavailable this year. Any brave takers?

If you would like to volunteer, but are not sure of how or where or when, contact one of your friendly, neighborhood High Holiday committee members - 
Rachel Cooper <rfcooper@gmail.com> 
Hal Weiner <HWeiner@aol.com> 
Alissa Zachary <alissainaustin@gmail.com>         We are all in the CKH directory.

One size doesn't fit all & we can help you find an enjoyable, comfortable way to participate.

KOL HALEV SISTERHOOD to host Yom Kippur Break-the-Fast

On Saturday, September 22nd, CKH Sisterhood will host the Break-Fast after services. As in the past, this will be a potluck affair, and we ask members to bring food according to their last names: A-L Main Dish; M-S Dessert; T-Z Salad. (This is merely a suggestion and if you prefer to bring something that doesn’t fall into your category, that will be appreciated also.) Please plan on serving 15 adults, and please bring an extra dish just for the Kid’s Table, to serve about 10 kids. You will need to provide serving utensils and writing your name on the bottom of your dish will ensure its return to you. A microwave and refrigerator are available for our use.

Please contact Karen Gault <kgault@austin.rr.com>, 249-7949, or Elizabeth Freaney <elizafrea@peoplepc.com>, 255-2609, to let them know what food you will bring. Thank you!

Kol Halev Gala

Mark your calendar for the Kol Halev Gala on Saturday, November 17th, 7:00 - 10:00 p.m.  Congregation Kol Halev will celebrate its 10th year anniversary and Rabbi Kerry Baker’s 30th anniversary of his ordination, with a special gala called Starry Night -- a celebration event for the families of Congregation Kol Halev and the Austin Jewish community.

Starry Night will be a fabulous gala with food, drink, entertainment, and live and a silent auction. That’s where you come in  ....

First, save the date and come help us have a wonderful celebration and fund-raising event.  Second, help us make this a night to remember by volunteering.  Marcia Hoffman <sungoddess47@hotmail.com> is the general chair of the Gala Committee.  If you have specific skills or interest please email Marcia with that information. This will be a special event if each of us steps up to help.  If you can help with the auctions by organizing or soliciting donations, contact Michele Chandler at <mchandlerlmsw@sbcglobal.net> or 762-3663.

Mazel Tov

A belated Happy Anniversary to Misha ben David and Pat Gabella who celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on August 7th.

If I have missed a birthday or anniversary in your family, send me a note and I'll post belated wishes. I'll also forward the information to Karen Glina so she can update the database (unless, of course, I missed your simcha due to my advancing age.)

In Remembrance

Thank You!
