Weekly Message from the Board President
Yes, we’re thinking of food again. It’s almost like we want to have food every single day! The Passover Seder is coming up – it will be on Sunday, April 13. Registration opens at 5:30 PM and the Seder will start promptly at 6.
Hopefully, you have received your invitation in the mail. If not, please contact the Synagogue office – you are definitely invited and we want you to come. The menu includes gefilte fish, hard boiled eggs, and fresh Italian salad, and matzah ball soup (of course – what would Passover be without matzah ball soup?) The main course offers you a choice of roasted chicken with clementines (which is a gluten free option), oven broiled salmon (also gluten free), and Noam’s Special Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms. The sides are roasted potatoes and fresh green beans. For desert, we’ll be serving flourless chocolate cake with raspberries. And there will be matzah, moror (horseradish), charoset, karpas and other traditional foods.
Our seders are always very well attended, so get your reservations in early (by March 26, please!) The cost is $45 for members, and $50 for non-members. Kids age 5 to 13 are $15, and under 5 are free. And the maximum charge for a family unit is $150 so you won’t pay more than that. If paying the full amount for the seder represents a financial hardship or is keeping you away, just send in what you can afford. We’ll make it work. It’s more important that you celebrate Passover with us.
Of course, Passover means giving up leavened bread for the holiday, so let’s get one more chance in to enjoy. Our next Shalom Dinner will be at Olive Garden next week, on Wednesday, March 26. Let’s meet at 6:30. And feel free to eat as many breadsticks and as much pasta as you want. It’s not Passover yet!
The dinner for women last week was a tremendous success. Special thanks to Jeff Weinstein and Rick Padilla for their work ahead of time in preparing the food, and for all the men who helped us as servers, cooks, and cleaning up afterwards. It was one of those really fun events that we do so well, and we’re glad everyone enjoyed it.
Shelby Means’ career keeps getting better. Shelby is a long time member of the Mt. Sinai family, and the daughter of Sherri and Warrie Means. You may remember that she won a Grammy award last year for her performance with the band Molly Tuttle. She’s now striking out on her own, and has just released her second single. It’s called “Million Reasons” and is a bluegrass cover of a Lady Gaga song. It also features her brother and her husband on the track. You can read about it here: https://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/shelby-means-release-incredible-lady-gaga-bluegrass-cover-week-march-14 and listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcmgDwuqjJ8.
Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:
Alts iz nit puter vos kumt aroys fun der ku.
All is not butter that comes from a cow.
