The best laid plans don’t always come to fruition. As you know from my recent email, The Golden Noodle II has been postponed to a future date. There simply was not sufficient interest by way of Passover dessert recipe entries to support the event. We thank Patty and Bill Weiss for all their hard work and enthusiasm and look forward to a Golden Noodle II event sometime next year.

On the other hand, we DO have one last big Spring Fling fundraising event that will happen on April 10th. We will host a very special concert by Jon Nelson & Yom Hadash at Temple Sinai. To quote his website, www.yomhadash.com, “by uniquely fusing rock, pop & world music with ancient Judaic melodies and traditions, Jon and his band have truly defined their genre.” Jon Nelson is no stranger to Temple Sinai, having played guitar with Sababa at our successful concert last spring. He will also be visiting our religious school this month, in order to work with our Youth Choir so they can perform with Yom Hadash on April 10th in a concert that will inspire and rock us all. There will be refreshments as well as raffle prizes and silent and live auction items as part of the evening’s festivities.  Please plan to attend and bring your family and your friends. Tickets are $18 ($10 for students). Of course, let me know if you would like to help with this event by donating auction/raffle items, taking on a sponsorship, or volunteering your time and efforts for the various aspects of planning and logistics.  Read on in this bulletin for more information.

Naturally, you should carefully read every item in this bulletin but please also note the write up about “Connections of Central Massachusetts.” Think about any way you might be able to support this important community collaboration.

I look forward to sharing the Spring Fling Concert and all its related festivities with all of you.
