DAY 974: Trying On Something New — Recapping our Murder Mystery Event

מה שנהגו ללבוש פרצופים בפורים וגבר לובש שמלת אשה ואשה כלי גבר אין איסור בדבר מאחר שאין מכוונים אלא לשמחת בעלמא (שלחן עורך, סימן תרצ"ו, סעיף ח') The custom of wearing masks on Purim, or men dressing in women's clothing and women dressing in men's clothing, is not forbidden since the only intention [of these actions] is mere happiness" (Shulkhan Orekh, 696:8) Dear Hevreh, It's fun to play a "B" movie star even though I should really have been an A-lister. As my self-obsessed alter-ego Kelly Kingsley would have said during last night's FANTASTIC Murder Mystery Party, "The only thing stopping me from getting to the top is bad movie directors and poor talent evaluators." It was fun to play a character wholly[...]

Beth Mordecai Calendar Ideas

Share your ideas to fill our calendar for the next 18 months! Due date is Friday, July 18th. The only requirements for these ideas are... 1) Naming the person responsible for overseeing and implementing the idea (preferably the one who is sharing the idea) -- This is NOT a collection of brainstorming ideas. This IS a collection of the ideas that individually and collectively we take responsibility for implementing. 2) When should the idea take place -- This can be... a specific date for an event/program (e.g. Sept 17th for a Concert in the Park) a specific time of year for an event/program (e.g. Concert in the park sometime in September, maybe even October) a general time frame for a longer campaign (e.g. one year to attract young members[...]

DAY 341: The Purpose of a Jewish Community

Dear Hevreh, There are certain moments when you realize the purpose of being a part of a Jewish community. It could be inspiring services like our past Cantorial Showcase or our upcoming Friday Night Shabbat By the Sea. It could be fun social oriented events with friends like Sunday's Trip to Brighton Beach or June 20th's Movie Night. It could be moments of great insight into the meaning of our tradition, like we try to do every Friday during our Online Parashah Class. Yet, despite the worthiness of all of these Jewish communal opportunities, I think the one that hits the closest to home is when we are grieving and we need our community to support us.[...]

DAY 257: The Special and the Regular (Check out the video of Cantor Jayne singing in our sanctuary!)

Dear Hevreh, "Our community shows up for special events..." This is an insight that I gained after our first Shabbat by the Sea program in which we had 40+ attendees; and it was confirmed by our strong attendance to the welcoming celebration, the holiday parties, and the special Shabbat services. Our community comes together when there's something new and interesting to experience. Part of the challenge of building a committed and active community is to create more opportunities that provide new and interesting experiences while embedding them in the lifeblood of our community. The goal is not to create special stand-alone events but rather to make special events withstand the test of time within our community; it is for the special to also[...]
