Jewis Love Affair w/Chinese Food + Chanukah & Globalization


Dear Haverim:

            As we near the end of Chanukah, I am placing a strong emphasis on study this weekend, and I hope you will find time to embrace the student in you, and join me for all or some of these study opportunities.

       *Tonight, 8 p.m., Friday, December 14.  From Lokshen to Lo Mein.  I will explore the Jewish fascination with Chinese food, especially on December 25.  Join me for this tasteful topic plus a history of the Jews of China. An oneg Shabbat with kosher Chinese fare imported from Cherry Hill will follow.

       *Saturday, 9:30 a.m., December 15.  Shabbaton for the Hebrew School (10:15 am).  My sermon topic will be a study session, with texts provided.  Subject –

            Chanukah: Development, Globalization and the Miracle of the Maccabees. (material provided by the American Jewish World Service).

Looking ahead…

       *Saturday night, 7 – 10 pm, Teen Pa-Jew-Ma Dance.  Hosted at CBS, co-sponsored by Adas Kodesch, Congregation Beth Emeth and Temple Beth El.  We hope to bring all our community Jewish teens together for synagogue-based social and ritual programs.  We hope it will lead to mixed dancing. We will begin with Havdalah.  Music by DJZ and photobooth by Professor Looney. Cost: $15 cash at door.

            *Sunday night, 7 pm – Teddy Roosevelt and the Jews. Presented by the Rabbi Jacob Kraft Education Foundation. With Rabbi Lance Sussan, PhD, Senor Rabbi, Congregation Keneseth Israel, Elikins Park, PA. Dessert to follow.
