Our Synagogue had many exciting activities in the past few months! Friday
night and Saturday morning Shabbat services are very well attended.
We had many congregants and guests attend our Shabbat Alive
services held in April and June, our Confirmation class led services in May and
our Teacher Appreciation Shabbat also in May.
The next Shabbat Alive Service will be on August 10 at 7pm. This service will feature Jennifer Rolnick, a cantorial student and our own congregants on instruments and vocals.
The synagogue board has been very busy discussing and implementing new exciting events for all of us. Please continue to read the blog at http://cshshofar.blogspot.com/ and the weekly Happenings sent via email.
Our Sisterhood and Men's Club are a very important part of our congregation and both groups are very supported of us. Thank you for all you wonderful ladies and superb gentlemen in both groups.
Our Religious school had another wonderful year. Katy Izygon as the principal and all of her fantastic teachers make our Religious School one of the best in Houston.
Our Rabbi is another
valuable asset to our congregation. We thank our Rabbi for all his
leadership and support to all of us.
Perhaps, you think
that synagogues run themselves. However, that is not the case, and many people
volunteer many hours to help see that it runs smoothly. Did you know that there
are many studies that show a link between volunteering and increased feelings
of self-worth? Some of our committees include fundraising, education, social
action, membership, ritual and facilities. Come and join one of these
committees or the many other activities at our synagogue and share your
expertise with your congregation,.
Our board meetings are held on every third Thursday of the month at 7pm and are open to all members.
We are looking forward to meeting and talking to each one of you in the coming months and are eager to learn your ideas about what our synagogue can do for you and your family. Feel free to contact us to share your ideas and please tell us which committee of our synagogue you would like to participate.
