The Charlotte Jewish News - May 2014 - Page 17 Synagogue. Shabbat Dinner at Temple Kol Ami May 9 ONGREGATIONS May Events at Havurat Tikvab Are you struggling to balance a busy family life and Shabbat tra ditions at home? You are invited to join Temple Kol Ami on Friday, May 9 at 7 PM for “Modern Mom’s Guide to Shabbat at Home” and Shabbat family din ner. We will explore the new meanings to the Sabbath and tra ditions in our modem lives, learn what it means to “make Shabbat,” and discuss the challenges facing a modem Jewish family when it comes to Shabbat in the home. Price of admission is a challah (some traditions will never change!), and our discussion will be followed by a spaghetti dinner. Temple Kol Ami is located at 303 Tom Hall Street, Fort Mill, SC in the Unity Presbyterian Church. To RSVP or for more in formation, visit www.temple- kolamisc.org or e-mail tka.reli- giousschool@gmail.com. We look forward to sharing a warm and enlightening Shabbat with you and your family. ^ Havurat Tikvah has been very busy this spring with Purim and Pesach to celebrate. For Purim we gathered at the Avondale social hall and enjoyed a Megillah read ing peppered with sing-alongs, a fancy-dress competition, and, of course, generous portions of hamentaschen. Now that the hustle and bustle of the last few months has sub sided, our congregation pauses to look towards events for the sum mer months. First off, we have an adult-ed Israeli Film Night coming up this month. More information will be on the Havurat Tikvah calendar on the website soon (www.havurat- tikvah.org). Havurat Tikvah holds a minyan for those who are observing a Yahrzeit or sitting shiva. For more information, please call us at 980- 225-5330. Havurat Tikvah is an affiliate of the Jewish Reconstructionist Fed eration, providing a comfortable, family atmosphere where all Jews can feel welcome. If you are inter ested, we invite you to visit, get to know us, and to become part of our congregation of nearly 60 households. For more information about any of our activities, check out our website (www.havurattikvah.org). You can also find Havurat Tikvah havural^t/hope and Havurat Tikvah Teens on Facebook. If you have any ques tions about membership or other aspects of Havurat Tikvah, give us a call at 980-225-5330.^ Jewish Reconstmctionist Communities In Association with the Reconstmctionist Rabbinical College Temple Solel Social Action Temple Solel, the two-year-old Reform congregation in Ft. Mill, SC,continues to place a great deal of emphasis on Social Action. Most recently, they gave the Ft. Mill Care Center $421 for the Care Center’s building fund. The money was collected from Tzedakah boxes, which had been distributed to congregation mem bers. The Ft. Mill Care Center, a 100% volunteer organization, pro vides emergency food, limited prescriptions, emergency dental and temporary assistance for util ities. Though they have no paid employees, they provided assis tance to 3,882 families last year on a budget of $240,000. The Center was founded in 1987 and now faces the need to relocate to a larger, permanent facility. The current Director of the Center is Carol Higgins, who has been a volunteer with the operation for 15 years. Temple Solel has supported the Care Center since the congrega tion was established. Last year, they gave 800 pounds of food and they continue to take donated food there. James Fox, the congrega tion President, said, “We have a unique membership which feels strongly about Social Action and community service. While we have participated in a number of specific projects, our relationship with the Fort Mill Care Center has been ongoing.” The Tzedakah boxes were dec orated by the children in the Tem ple’s religious school and distrib uted to all members of the congregation to drop in loose change at each meal. Carol Hahn, chairman of the Social Action Committee for the Temple, said, “The total collected was actually beyond my expectations. We have a good group.” Temple Solel holds regular Shabbat services the second and fourth Fridays of each month. Most are lay-lead, with some vis its from rabbis. Services are held at St. Philip Neri Catholic Church in Ft. Mill, starting at 7 PM. Ad ditional information about the congregation can be found at tem- plesolelsc.org. ^ TEMPLE SOLEL A SURPRISING CONNECTION. A REMARKABLE LEGACY. Beyond Swastika and Jim Croiv tells the compelling but little known story of Jewish professors who fled Nazi Germany during WWII, came to America and found teaching positions at historically black colleges and universities in the South. There they came face to face with the absurdities of a rigidly segregated Jim Crow society. Discover the connections and encounters between these refugee scholars and their students, and their great impact on each other, the Civil Rights Movement, and American society. Presented thanks to support from the William and Patricia Gorelick Family Foundation, Shelton and Carol Gorelick, Scott and Dana Gorelick, Jeff and Bari Gorelick, Howard and Julie Levine, and Lori and Eric Sklut.
