A Busy and Exciting Schedule
While settling into the year
5773, Havurat Tikvah has many
exeiting upeoming events to antie-
ipate. On the 10th of November,
we have a eommunity Shabbat
serviee at 10 AM in the Aitken’s
Classroom of Avondale Chureh on
2821 Park Road. Following the
serviee, there will be a potluek
Kiddush luneheon (kosher,
dairy/parve, peanut-free dishes).
Our teen group, Mitzvahs in
Aetion, also has a busy year
ahead. We have partnered with
teens from Kol Ami (in Fort Mill,
SC) and have already had a joint
meeting, where we soeialized,
made plans for the next few
months, and braided some deli-
eious ehallah for our families. We
are looking forward to initiating
several eommunity serviee proj-
eets throughout the year, possibly
ineluding a day at the Dilworth
Soup Kitehen, one of our soeial
aetion partners. Mitzvahs in Ae
tion also hopes to initiate book
elub meetings and more soeial
gatherings with Kol Ami in the fu
ture.
Some of our soeial aetions
eommittees, ineluding those in
volved with Dilworth Soup
Kitehen, Projeet Linus, and Room
at the Inn, are involved in plan
ning for fortheoming events as
well. For more information on
