Sisterhood Scribbles Monica Steinman & Marcy Gray Temple
Beth Emet Sisterhood is the organization of the women of the congregation
who come together in friendship for programs to benefit the Temple and
the community, for social activities, for study, and above all, for
growth of the individual so that each may find an opportunity to fulfill
her potential as a person and as a Jewish woman. Sisterhood provides
the arena for the individual to expand and grow in a Jewish atmosphere.
Summer 2007 has been a time for family and friends, fun and travel, relaxation and renewal for many people. The Sisterhood Board has also been busy as we met to plan an exciting year. Sisterhood is an energetic group of women who come together to assist the Temple, engage in fundraisers and enjoy Jewish life in the camaraderie of good friends. Whether you are new to Temple or a returning member, we welcome you and hope that you will choose to be an active participant in our Temple life. Remember, new Temple members receive the 1st year’s Sisterhood membership free and a complimentary copy of the Temple Beth Emet Sisterhood Cookbook. Sisterhood will kick off the 2007-2008 year with our Welcome Back Breakfast. Watch your email and Temple notices for date and time. Then our Annual Paid-Up Membership Dinner is on October 2nd. As a bonus, we are adding Bunco to our evening’s festivities and expect a wonderful turnout. Do join us for a fun evening as we meet our new members and rekindle old friendships. As the year unfolds, we will continue our regularly scheduled activities. That includes our monthly Book Club where we meet at a member’s home, have dinner and engage in lively discussion of our chosen piece of literature. We’re in our fourth year and it’s been an activity that participants eagerly look forward to each month. We will be expanding Book Club this year to include some breakfast sessions at Temple also. The first of these Sunday Brunch & Book Club sessions will be in November, so watch the bulletin for more information. In addition, we will have our weekly Mah Jongg games, which are always open to newcomers and we look forward to seeing some new faces. Never played before? Not a problem...we will help you through the beginning stages of this fun, challenging game. We meet at the Temple at 7:00 pm the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month and at members’ homes the 2nd and 4th Wednesday. If you are interested in Book Club or Mah Jongg, please send your email address to Monica Steinman at steiny9584@aol.com to get weekly updates. Apples and Honey for Rosh Hashanah, Chanukah Gift Exchange, Party Showcase, Camp Expo, Passover Tasting, Gift Shop, Field Trips and so much more is in store for you as a Sisterhood member. If you have any questions you can contact Marcy Gray at marbilgray@aol.com or Monica Steinman at steiny9584@aol.com. We hope to see you on October 2nd and throughout the year. So do something for yourself and for your Temple this year, become a Sisterhood member! BETH EMET SISTERHOOD COOKBOOK We

Men's Club - Menschim Steve Feldman I
hope everyone had a great summer far because school is about to begin.
Over the summer, the men’s club had an outing at a Marlins game.
We met for dinner prior to the game and had fun at the ballpark. I want
to especially thank Tommy Mandel for organizing the event and in getting
the tickets. I also want to thank Gary Chaiet for sending out notices
for the event. I also want to thank all the men’s club members
that attended the dinner and game. I know everyone had a great time
and more is being planned. The next meeting of the men’s club
is Wednesday night, August 22 at 7:00 pm in the social hall. Please
mark your calendars. All temple men are urged to attend. With the High
Holy days almost upon us, we need the assistance of all temple members.
We need men’s club members to serve as greeters and ushers during
the high holy days. We need to assign you dates and times for your participation
and assistance. Keep the date of Saturday October 20, 2007 at 7:00pm.
That will be the men's clubs first annual talent showcase and dinner
at the temple. Try-outs for the talent show will be in September. More
information to follow. We are planning a number of social activities
(golfing, bowling, softball, poker, etc,), but we need your help with
the temple’s open houses, hurricane preparation, and fundraisers.
The men’s club will be raising money to build a baseball field
and basketball court on the temple’s grounds. If you are interested
in being active in the men’s club, please contact me at 954-540-8982
or at shfeld@bellsouth.net
and I hope to see you at our next meeting. Call
the Temple office if you would like to be Hurricane Helper, play softball,
help with the construction of the Sukkah, help with the Purim Carnival
and be a part of the Men's Club. Learn how you can get more involved
by contacting Steve Feldman.

Joseph's Rainbow The
mission of Joseph's Rainbow is to provide hope, support and comfort to
our temple family during challenging life experiences. Please share your
talent with us. Do you own a restaurant and can provide a meal on an occasional
basis? Do you enjoy cooking and could make dinner for a needy family?
Are you a good listener and could provide encouragement? Do you enjoy
praying for and with others? Do you have a professional expertise that
could help another in a time of adversity? The four areas where
we need your support and team leaders are: Remember, we are here to help temple members in times of need as well as members of the community. Thus far, we have been sending out cards remembering simchas, well wishes and sympathies. As always, donations are appreciated. When calling the Temple office please indicate that you would like a Joseph's Ranbow card sent to your loved one or friend. Funds raised by us will be used to help any of our own members during times of need such as illness, loss of a loved one or personal difficulties. We will provide food and assistance as needed. If you or someone you know needs assistance of any type, please contact either Rabbi Greenspon, Jay Nemes, and we will make arrangements to provide help. We are also available to do simple errands and have members available to provide transportation when needed should you temporarily not be able to drive. We are working with other organizations to provide social service counselors as needed. Again, we are here to help not only our own but also extended family and members of the community. In addition to sending out cards we have can provide Publix gift certificates to community members in need and visited with ill temple members. Our plan for the High Holidays is to again have our Annual High Holiday Food Drive. We will be requesting that Temple Members and families remember those less fortunate and donate non perishable food items.Please come and check us out. We must all try to give a little something back to those less fortunate than ourselves. Together we can help our temple families find hope, comfort, and strength during the challenging times in their lives.
