Lunch this week has been prepared by Sybil Barrier with help from the Kitchen Committee.
 
During lunch, Rabbi Kaplan will present a class on the 
second chapter of Ethics of the Fathers.
The custom in Sephardic communities is to study the six chapters of Ethics of the Fathers during the six weeks between Passover and the holiday of Shavuoth.
Welcome New Members
We would like to officially welcome our newest members to the synagogue, Michelle Iimori and her son, Youki.

 
Thank you 
We would like to thank Dan and Janice Pitman of Pittman Restaurant Equipment for helping us acquire a new commercial refrigerator at a substantial discount. Our Kitchen Committee is now able to resume preparing foods for Shabbats and special events.
