Temple Israel Men’s Club P.A.L.S. - Come Be A Part
Outreach
High heat and humidity can be
devastating to the health of elder
ly people who cannot afford air
conditioning. By installing donat
ed air conditioners, the Temple
Israel Men’s Club provided an
important Mitzvah. The men who
volunteered their time, under the
direction of Michael Abadi and
Alan Sussman, have truly been
lifesavers. Community Building
and Neighborhood Development,
a division of United Family
Services, and the Men’s Club have
worked together this year to pro
vide these air conditioners to the
Brookhill Community Association.

Since families are at the heart
of Jewish life, the Temple Israel
has formed its newest group,
P.A.L.S. (Parents and Little Ones
Schmoozing). Under the profes
sional guidance of Rabbi Ari
Sunshine and leadership of
Allison Karp, Margaret Musa and
Stephanie Tuckman, families with
children seven and younger will
gather to schmooze, play, cele
brate, learn and ultimately spark
our children’s love of their Jewish
community.
Because Sukkot is the time for
hospitality, we have chosen it as
the occasion of our first gathering.
We will dress comfortably and
meet on September 25 at 5:45 PM
in Temple Israel’s Sukkah for a
festive evening of “Pizza in the
Hut.” Rabbi Sunshine will share a
story and teach some songs, we
will make a Sukkot craft and
enjoy a meal of pizza with all the
trimmings.
If you want to attend “Pizza in
the Hut,” volunteer to help or just
want more information, please
call Allison Karp at 704-847-
6141, Margaret Musa at 704-845-
0907, Stephanie Tuckman at 704-
588-6048, or Rabbi Sunshine at

Be Inspired on the High Holidays at
Ohr HaTorah
Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur are the most important
days on the Jewish calendar. This
is the time of year when we renew
our commitment to God, and God
renews his commitment to the
world. It is no wonder why an
overwhelming majority of Jews
make an effort to attend services
at the synagogue during the Holy
Days.
Congregation Ohr HaTorah
offers traditional Orthodox servic
es and is open to all Jews in the
greater Charlotte area. The servic
es will be lead by Rabbi Binyomin
Weiss with his melodious voice.
Rabbi Yossi Groner will insert
brief meditations during the serv
ice, to help worshippers with the
flow of the service. The High
Holiday experience, at Ohr
HaTorah allows the participants to
feel the deep meaning of these
days in a spiritual and fulfilling
way that leaves a lasting affect.
Junior Congregation at Ohf
HaTorah is a wonderful opportu
nity for children to participate in
the services of the holidays.
Children will learn about the sig
nificance of the day through sto
ries and illustrations. Baby-sitting
will also be available for younger
children. High Holiday services
are held evenings at 7:30 PM and
C ongrcgation
orali I
upro^acjl.ukirviiciinSSorihCarifUmf
mornings at 9:00 AM. All services
will be held at Congregation Ohr
HaTorah, 6619 Sardis Road in
Charlotte.
After Yom Kippur, the commu
nity makes the joyous transition to
celebrate the festival of Sukkot.
Ohr HaTorah will host a family
Sukkot party on Tuesday,
September 24 at the synagogue’s
giant Sukkah on Sardis Road. A
full holiday picnic will be served,
and there will also be entertain
ment for children.
Saturday night, September 28,
is Simchai Torah night, the happi
est day in Judaism. The celebra
tion will begin at 7:30 PM with a
holiday service and a festive holi
day meal, followed by the
Hakofot - dancing with the Torah.
Simchat Torah at Ohr HaTorah
has earned a reputation for gen
uine unadulterated and expressive
joy experienced by adults and
children. It is a night to revel in
happiness and merriment in our
connection to^the Torah and our
faith. 4*
