Who doesn’t like celebrating birthdays? Birthdays are times for gathering. As kids we get excited about the gifts, the refreshments, the friends and the hoopla. As adults we have different perspectives. Some of us don’t want to admit our ages and stop adding the numbers to our years. Some recognize that time marches on; others joyfully announce their ages.
1) We are invited to a celebration of 3 Buffalo Soldiers who are in their 90’s! There will be a gathering at
Bernheim Hall in the Ben May Library on Thursday, November 5 (5:30-7:30 p.m.).
Two local soldiers are turning 91 and the third soldier is turning 99 ! The Buffalo Soldiers were the only segregated African-American infantry division to see combat in Europe during World War II. (U.S. Attorney Kenyen Brown and retired Admiral Richard Landolt will be speaking ). You may recall that this group honored Agnes Tennebaum as a Holocaust survivor with a special presentation last year. Refreshments will be served.
2) Friday, Nov. 6 is Dinner night at Shul. Dinner is from 6:00-6:45 p.m. and a BRIEF service follows from 6:45-7:15. $5 per adult; kids 8 and under eat for free. Please RSVP by Thursday night. We are shopping and preparing on Friday.
3) Saturday, Nov. 7 is Birthday Shabbat. At lunch we honor all November birthdays. Come and enjoy lunch, ice cream, cake and perhaps a small nip of Crown Royal or Chivas Regal. Early Service is from 9:00-9:45 and Torah service is from 10:00-Noon.
4) Tuesday, Nov. 10 – The Mobile Christian Jewish Dialogue welcomes Rabbi Joseph A. Polak. An infant survivor of Holocaust and published author, he will addressing the community at7:00 PM at Ahavas Chesed Synagogue. Reception to follow.
5) Friday, Nov. 13 is Veterans’ Day Shabbat (6:00-7:00 p.m.). You are invited to honor our Veterans. All those currently serving in the Armed Forces and our Veterans are requested to attend in order that our Shul may recognize you and express our gratitude.
