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.
