When you attend services or an event where Alisa Fineman shares her voice, it is tantamount to listening to an angel sing.  We are celebrating Alisa's sweet 16^th year of affiliation with Congregation Beth Israel. 

Alisa's role as CBI 's Cantorial Soloist, has included preparation of our B'nai Mitzvah students, leader of the adult and children's choirs, including Women’s Seders and retreats.  She has graced our bimah with her songs and prayers.  Her musical and lyrical abilities shine through in all she does - from her music to her inter-personal relationships, from Jewish Food Festival concerts to whimsical Purim spiels. Alisa has an innate understanding of music; it is in her soul. How greatly we are blessed by her gifts.

On Saturday, May 18^th, 2013, we will take great pride in honoring Alisa for her devotion to our Temple. The evening's festivities begin with hors d'oeuvres at 6:00 p.m. followed by a delicious dinner catered by Michael's Catering. We will adjourn to the Sanctuary for Havdallah and entertainment with special praises offered by many of our congregants. 

This event is now SOLD OUT!

Thank you for participating in this wonderful event.

Rabbi Bruce and Susan Greenbaum are exploring the possibility of leading a humanitarian trip to Cuba November 6-13, 2013.  We will bring much-needed items to at least two synagogues that have small, but active, Jewish communities there.  We do need to know if there is an interest in a journey of this type.  Details about this trip are available by contacting the Temple office.
