B’racha Center General Meeting and Open House
On Sunday, January 11, 2008, from 1:30 - 3:00 PM (or 4:30 until 6 PM if the Steelers are in an early playoff game), the B’racha Center for Jewish Connections will hold its first General Meeting and Open House. Babysitting will be provided.
If you have any interest in the B’racha Center you should be there. After we review all of the great things we already do, we will break up into groups to plan the future of our existing projects and of any others that we come up with. Help us plan a bright and vibrant future for the Center and connect with others while you are at it. If you have not already done so, let the office know (at 412-421-9715 or office@templesinaipgh.org) if you can be there.

On other Mondays we play games, meet to plan or prepare for other projects or just have a cup of coffee and connect. Look elsewhere on this page, on the Temple web calendar, or call the office (412-421-9715) to find out what we are doing on any given Monday. It will be worth your while.
Sing-Alongs at Charles Morris
As many of you know, the Temple Sinai Troubadours (Temple Sinai Caring connection, IG Choir and anyone else who would like to join us) have been going to Charles Morris every other month to sing along with the residents. This is such a popular activity for the residents (and the visitors) that we have been asked to make our visits monthly. Our sing-alongs will be held generally the third week of each month. Please check our Calendar for the next one.
A BIG THANK YOU to all those who share their voices and their ruach! The sing-alongs are a big hit and every voice counts!
We invite anyone with a big heart and a friendly smile to join with us next time. YOU can be a part of this great communal event. No experience necessary.
If you have questions or would like to join us, please contact the Temple office, 412-421-9715, office@templesinaipgh.org
