Family Shabbat BBQ Dinner
The last family Shabbat BBQ dinner was such a success we decided to have another one…but with a twist. Do you know anyone that is not affiliated with a Temple or congregation? Have you talked to them about Shir Shalom in the past and they said something like: “wow, that place sounds really cool”? Even if they didn’t, and you know they should belong, invite them to this dinner. Dinner will be on us, and yours will be too!
Please join us on Friday, August 13 @ 5:30 pm.
We know that the majority of our new members come as friends of current members. No one can help sell Shir Shalom better than our members, so this is your chance to bring a new family to Temple. They can enjoy dinner with us and then join us for our Kabbalat Shabbat service beginning @ 6:30 pm.
For those families that bring preschool age children, our new preschool teachers will be on hand to meet and greet everyone. This will also be a great opportunity to welcome Donna Jeross and Norma Lesnick to our Temple family!
For those of you who just want to come and have some great BBQ dinner and then enjoy services, the cost is $10/adult, $5/child (5-12). Services are free.
Bring the family, a blanket and enjoy a bbq dinner and Shabbat services the Shir Shalom way.
RSVP to the Temple office @ (248) 737-8700 by Wednesday, August 11 @ 5:00 pm.
