Kiddush Cooperative 2015
We have finished our second cycle of the Kiddush Cooperative and based on
feedback from members, it continues to be a nice addition to our kiddush
calendar allowing a group of families to sponsor at least seven to eight
times a year a hot and delicious kiddush. Thus, we would like to start our
third cycle following the yeshiva break. In order to do that we need at least
twenty four families to participate at a cost of $200 per family. This is an
excellent way to sponsor kiddush at a very reasonable price. While we
typically order from our local vendors, we welcome feedback from Kiddush
Cooperative members on what types of menus they would like to see.
Thank you to the following families who have joined this year's Kiddush
Cooperative: Adams, Alt, Barber, Barta, Blass, Blech, Blum, Borodach,
Carman, Distenfeld, Einhorn, Eisenman, Levin, Mittan, Polinsky, Rabitz,
Rivkin, Rothstein, Rose and Anonymous families for your season
sponsorship. If
We still welcome families to join the Kiddush Cooperative. The more families
we have, the more hot kiddushes we can enjoy throughout the year. It is
not too late to join! Please email Holly Weiss at
[email protected] to add your name to the Kiddush
Cooperative.
Thank You - Mishloach Manot Project 2015
On behalf of the Sisterhood, we would like to thank the many people who

Borodach, Fein-Rameriez, Frankel, Grunstein, Krupnick, Polinsky, Rose,
Rosenbluth and Tyler families who worked overtime in the blizzard to make
sure everyone received their packages. Thank you to our mishloach manot
packers, Sheryl Blass, Ali Blech, Ita Cohen, Aaron & Aliza Goldgewert,
Shira, Lielle & Judah Grunstein, Valerie, Gittel & Rosalie Levin, Julie & Liat
Polinsky, Jill Rosalimsky, Nancy & Hannah Rose, Elana, Chana & Avigayil
Rosenbluth, Ellie Rothstein, Valerie Rubinstein and Debbie Tyler. Much
appreciation to the Blass family for hosting the packing and making their
home available to the committee on numerous occasions. Thank you to Zev
Darack for his help in developing an online form for order submission and to
Shabsi Polinsky for his help in collecting the orders.
Finally, a tremendous yasher koach to the committee chair, Nancy Rose,
and the committee, Ali Blech, Aliza Goldgewert, Shira Grunstein, Stacy
Katzwer, Julie Polinsky, Elana Rosenbluth, Valerie Rubinstein, Debra &

Kiddush Committee News
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.
Mar: Goldstein, Grunstein, Horowitz, Katzwer
For more information on anything Kiddush related, please contact Holly
Weiss at [email protected].
Learning Opportunities
We are always looking for opportunities to strengthen our connection to
Torah. The more Torah in the shul, the better, so let us know if you have
any other suggestions.

Wednesdays at 7:50 pm before ma'ariv are postponed until after Pesach.
