2. Monthly TAS Poker Game – Calling all Poker Players
If you like to play in a monthly game of poker and help out the temple, MoTAS is putting together a safe monthly online game of No Limit Hold-em. A monthly tournament is a fun way to increase your skills at poker and make a bit of mullah. Games would be played at 7:30 on the first Tuesday of each month. The $20 buy-in would be handled by MoTAS. MoTAS would take 15% of the stakes for our temple fundraising and the rest would be split 60% and 25% by the top two players. Tournaments will take about 90 minutes. If you (yes, men and women) have an interest, contact Howard Miller at hmiller12@socal.rr.com.
3. Help Us Spread the News about Rabbi Becky
Now that Rabbi Becky has started at TAS, we need to let our community know about the changes at TAS. This is not the TAS of yore: all of what might have inhibited folks in prior years is in the past. We have a new Rabbi, a new Cantor, and most importantly: a new spirit and a stronger family. We need to let our communities know: not only the local North Valley of Chatsworth, Northridge, North Hills, and Granada Hills. We need to let the folks in all directions nearby know: the Southern portion of the valley (Reseda, Woodland Hills, Van Nuys, Encino, etc.), the communities to the East (Arleta, Sylmar, San Fernando), Simi Valley to the West, and, to the North, the southern portions of Santa Clarita and Stevenson Ranch.
The best way to do this is to invite someone to sample our Friday night service. They can do this via Zoom, or that can join via Facebook Live via the Temple’s Facebook page. You’ll get the Zoom information in your weekly temple mailing that you can share. You can also recommend that folks contact the Temple office for information.
We also want you to go beyond asking local friends and family to meet her and our temple. First, you can spread the word on those social media sites you use. Spread the message on Facebook about our service. Look at the Temple’s Facebook page for information to share. Second, you can introduce Rabbi Becky to your neighborhood using nextdoor.com . If you already have an account, you are ready. If you need to register / create a new free account, click here: https://help.nextdoor.com/s/article/How-to-join-Nextdoor?language=en_US. Once you have your account:
- Go to your account on nextdoor.com
- Select “General” under “Neighborhood”
- Post a story about Rabbi Becky
Here are some suggestions for things to mention in your post:
- Temple Ahavat Shalom is a 54 year old warm and welcoming Jewish Reform Congregation in Northridge.
- Mention how long you have been a member.
- Join us for a dynamic Shabbat service with our new rabbi, Rebecca Hoffman, and provide the date and time.
- Invite people to come check us out.
- For more information on our Zoom service or attending via Facebook Live, call Ben Tenn at (818) 360-2258 or contact Aaron Solomon at (818) 360-2258.
