Hello everyone,
We hope everyone came through Hurricane Irma's passage safely. There are many of us still without power, but so far none the worse for wear. The Temple has power, and we're currently putting things back into shape here at the office. If you need anything at all, please let us know. Thank you.
Also, for those members who may not have received their tickets, please call the office so we may assist you.
Sincerely,
Your Friendly Temple Israel Office
Monthly Pearlman Emergency Food Pantry Drive
MAGAL will continue to collect non-perishable food items for the Pearlman Emergency Food Pantry this year. However, rather than weekly themes, we will collect one type of food for the entire month. Starting in September, please bring in items for a "Pancake Breakfast," such as boxes of pancake, waffle, or muffin mix and plastic bottles of syrup (no glass, please). The remaining collection dates for September are Sunday the 17th and 24th.
Thank you for helping MAGAL continue with this very worthy cause!
Religious School Simcha Kabbalat Shabbat
This Friday evening, September 15, the service will be lead by our Religious School students. It's also a Simcha Shabbat, where we will honor those with anniversaries and birthdays in September. Followed by a tasty Oneg with delicious cake! The service starts at 7:30 pm.
 Saturday, September 16 at 11:00 am
Last week's Latino Shabbat was rescheduled due to Hurricane Irma. We will be holding it this Saturday so no one misses anything.
Conducted in Spanish and Hebrew using a siddur in both languages. The service is open to the entire Jewish community of Orlando. El servicio se llevará a cabo en español y hebreo usando un sidur en ambos idiomas. El servicio es abierto para toda la comunidad judia de Orlando.
Simchat Torah Honorees!
Each Simchat Torah we honor two people whose regular service to Temple Israel has greatly enhanced our religious and social experience. Please submit your nominations as soon as possible.
