Bribery, Pure and Simple

Oh no! Cantor Elisa is not well enough to sing tonight.
It’s time for BRIBERY!
Tonight’s Shabbat-in-Sochi Russian-themed Happy Hour includes:
Pieroggis w/sour cream, Blintzes w/sour cream, Russian Borscht with … yes sour cream, and Vodka (not w/sour cream but oj is available). 
During Shabbat services, we will pay homage to the 50th anniversary of the British Invasion when the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, by asking all attendees to please dress in the red, white and blue of the Union Jack. 
Adon Olam will be set to a very sing-a-able Beatles’ classic.
Our February birthday honorees and their friends will be treated to chocolate mousse birthday cake as an added incentive for attending tonight.
Bribery, pure and simple.  But, hey, I need you.
See you tonight.  Shabbat in Sochi Happy Hour begins at 6 pm.  Kabbalat Shabbat services begin at 6:30 p.m.
