Exciting Gala Update:
As a reminder, the Temple B’rith Shalom fund raising Gala is planned for March 25, 2023.  It will include the Rob Ratner band with our Jessica Dreifuss singing…along with both a silent and live auction. Tickets are $115 per person.

Auction items are starting to be acquired…rounds of golf, golf lessons, art pieces, sightseeing flights, and more.  We all need to get on board with soliciting auction items to ensure a successful event. In addition, invite your friends, Jews and non Jews alike, to attend our Gala…it will be a fun-filled evening, and is important to the financial well being of the Temple.
If you have any questions, please contact Gloria Hershman at 928-778-0161 or misgloria@gmail.com

As always, any support is gratefully appreciated and continues our efforts for the many programs Temple B`rith Shalom provides.
L'Shalom,
Rabbi Susan Schanerman
