It's back - starting June 9 and for the rest of the summer children (and adults) of all ages can join us every Shabbat as Rabbi Ciment teaches us about the weekly parsha for a few moments and we enjoy a cold Popsicle! Come for the Torah, enjoy the popsicles and then stay and play in the park with friends. Time: July 2 at 4:00 p.m. Place: Herrick Park Sponsor: Elaine Silverberg and David Haldorsen in honor of all the children in our shul. This year we are looking for families to sponsor Parsha and Popsicles, at a cost of $18 for a one week sponsorship.

Families interested in sponsoring a kiddush and/or seudat shlishit should contact Holly so that she can reserve the date on the shul calendar. Please also let Holly know if you would like to participate in an upcoming Crock Pot Challenge which generally takes place around Rosh Chodesh. We've been doing these for a year and are always seeking new families to take the challenge. Kiddush clean up is on a rotating basis, based on your last name. While we recognize that everyone in your group may not be available each Shabbat, we ask that you pitch in if you are assigned in that month so that the same people are not doing the clean-up each week. We all like kiddushes and we all make plans for lunch after shul so please be respectful of your fellow congregants by helping out during your assigned month if you are in shul. We also ask that you please watch your children during Kiddush to the extent possible, and to place their finished items in the garbage cans provided. July Sarue, Segal, Wagh, Weinberger, Weinrib For more information on anything Kiddush related, please contact Holly Weiss at kiddush@arzeidarom.org.
