1. VETERANS DAY SHABBAT FRI 11/11
Again this year, Temple Ahavat Shalom together with MoTAS, is planning a shabbat service to coincide with Veterans Day, which this year will be on November 11, to honor our temple veterans. Chaired by Roger Lowe, Hal Bass and Bob Levine the evening service will recognize all temple veterans who have given service to our country. If you are a current TAS member (or immediate family) and a veteran or on active duty from any branch of our armed forces, we want to acknowledge and honor you.
If you are comfortable with being recognized PLEASE follow the link here https://forms.gle/ywhaRgpVNjRqaiky8 and provide us your information.
We would appreciate knowing your highest rank, branch of service, years served, and whether you plan to attend services Nov 11. TAS & MoTAS look forward to honoring our veterans.
2. NOVEMBER MEETING SUN 11/13
In honor of our Vets, please join MoTAS for a continental breakfast. We will be serving all of the goodies you have come to enjoy, including Lox, Onions and Tomatoes. .
We will be having our usual business review and we are working on a guest speaker.
To prepare in advance, our question of the week will be….
- For our vets, What is the strangest or funniest or most embarrassing thing that happened to you while in the service?
- For our non-vets, please write a 2500 word essay on What is your guilty pleasure? [Just Kidding, No not really.]
3. CHANUKAH BOUTIQUE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED SUN 11/20
The annual Sisterhood Holiday Boutique is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, November 20 from 10am to 3pm. Typically, the Men of TAS helps with the food service.

We will need people to help pickup (and possibly pre-package) the food. We will need folks to sell and deliver the food. We will need folks to help clean up.

TAS is in need of a Zoom-Master or multiple Zoom-Masters to manage the broadcast of our Friday Shabbat services. WE WILL TRAIN YOU.
