As you read this, you may or may not have experienced the secular new year arrive. As an adult, I haven't always gone out and celebrated. But as my kids got older it happened more often. I'm at the stage of my life now that some friends can't seem to stay up until midnight to toast the new year. They'll watch the ball drop on New York time so it's only 9:00 our time. That's fine with me so I can go home and watch my favorite channel to ring in the new year. So I bring up New Year's because shortly after, we are going to start baking hamantashen.

CALLING ALL BAKERS, CALLING ALL BAKERS!

 

We will begin all baking on Wednesday, January 7 at 1:00. Purim is early this year so we only have 8 weeks to bake. Come join us if you're able. We have lots of fun!

 

Next, January 17 is Sisterhood Shabbat. I find it very meaningful when our members participate in the service. We are lucky that we have so many who can lead a part of the service. Contact Sharlene Schwed at 714 267-9536 or Tamar Breton at 714 814-0286 if interested.

 

Tu B’Shevat is Sunday, February 1. We won't be having the big Tu B'Shevat seder of the past, but we will have an offering of the basics necessary for one on January 31 at the kiddush.

 

PSW Region and NxNW Region present Torah Fund Study Day.

It will be on January 25, 2026 at 9:00am PST on Zoom.  Cost $18.00. If interested, please contact me.

 

We have more programs in the works  but if you have any ideas please let us know.

Happy New Year!!
