From the Editor: The goal of the Weekly is to get MoTAS members the information they need on upcoming activities, and then get out of the way. If you have any information on MoTAS activities you need to get out to the membership, please contact the Weekly Editor at cybermaven@tasnorthridge-motas.org. We are now in our summer hiatus, so the weekly will be every 2-3 weeks, depending on upcoming events.

1. DINING OUT AT EMLE’S – TUE AUG 20

“Dining Does Good” has returned. Things have gotten more complicated since the pandemic with all the delivery apps and such, so this is DINE IN or PICK UP only. Let’s support MoTAS, and all show our smiling facEmle’s at ‘s in Northridge on Tuesday, August 20.

Would you like an easy way to help MoTAS financially? How about taking your family to dinner. The MoTAS “Dining Does Good” allows you to go out to dinner, and have the restaurant donate a portion of your check support the Men of TAS. Our August Dining Does Good” will be Tuesday, August 20  at Emle’s, 9250 Reseda Blvd #1, Northridge, CA 91324, (818) 772-2203. You can find a flyer for the event at https://wp.tasnorthridge-motas.org/activities/dining/ or download it directly from our Box account. Once you are at the Box version of the flyer:

• If you are on a PC or Mac using a browser: (1) click on the white DOWNLOAD button; (2) there will be a pop-up about logging in to do more — ignore that – just close the popup box; (3) You will be prompted on where to save the download, or it will go into the downloads directory; (4) when the download is complete, open the PDF and print it. DO NOT right click and attempt to print from the Box page.
• If you using a browser on an Android phone: This takes you directly to the PDF. You can download or print from there.

We really encourage you to come and support these events: we raise a little extra funds for our work, but more importantly, we come together and break bread as a Temple family on a regular basis. It is a real joy to walk into a neighborhood restaurant and see your Temple friends, to sit down and share a table and talk. This is the heart and goal of MoTAS: Building Relationships.

2. SEPTEMBER SPEAKERS MEETING – SUN SEP 8

Our speaker for Sunday, September 8th will be temple member Leonard Shaffer, who will be doing a show and tell on ham radio. Leonard has been interested in ham radio since the 1950’s and has had his license since 1975. He has around 4,000 contacts logged. A full breakfast, including bagels, lox, and eggs, will be available starting at 8:45am. Join us for our usual business review, and learn what is happening with the temple.

If you are wondering about the Pancake Breakfast: According to the Temple Calendar, we are doing the Pancake Breakfast the first Sunday of Sukkot, Sunday, October 20. We will be building the sukkah the Sunday before that, on October 13, the day after Yom Kippur.

3. FOOTBALL SQUARES ARE NOW ON SALE

Please join MoTAS in our very popular fun-raiser, now in its 13th year.  It is a very important program, which raises funds for temple projects that are not able to be done because of budget limitations.  Much of the money is used primarily for education projects.

You don’t need to know anything about football, or even like football.  It’s all about helping TAS. For one entry, you participate in the entire season!

The rules are the same as last year. The entry fee remains $50 per square. If you wish to pay by check, please mail it directly to:
