In deference to Rabbi August's inspiring sermons over the holidays, we have given her column the month off.

Passover is coming--but not for a while! We are assembling a Passover cookbook to be distributed at our Women's Seder on March 30, 2008. Please submit your recipe to us via the form in your mailing or at recipe@leveisha.org. By your submission you certify that this recipe is written in your own words and not copied from some other source.
New at Adat Shalom is a special Shabbat evening every third Friday. This month, on October 19, at 7:30, there will be an extraordinarily special service; a gala evening honoring the new Adat Shalom Cantor Benjamin Tisser. Before the service is a Shabbat dinner starting at 6:00 p.m. ($18 per person, reservations required by October 17). Special guests for the gala service include Rabbi Edward Feinstein, Rabbi Harold Schulweis, Cantor Herschel Fox, and Dr. Noreen Green. There will also be an appearance by the Adat Shalom Band!
The evening doesn't end there. Following the service there will be an oneg Shabbat with dessert and Israeli dancing. Childcare is available so there's no excuse not to come and have fun! Future 3rd Friday themes include the Board installation in November, Salsa Shabbat in December and a Shabbat Shira service in January. All Lev Eisha members are welcome, so if you're looking for an interesting Friday night service, give it a try.
