Pizza and Prayer – a winning combination!
October 24, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Friday night FUN at Shabbat Services! The Fall evening was sheer joy as the children ushered in the weekend with a Pizza Pre-neg and cupcakes.
How appropriate that this Shabbat Service was led by the TSS Religious School children? As Cantor Sermonized the visit paid to Abraham by the Angels to tell him that his wife Sarah would soon give him a child and give birth to a nation, the realization that OUR future and the future of TSS was sitting in the front row.
It is so important to pass our Jewish traditions onto our children. Like the children of our ancestors, they are the next generation to carry on the Jewish faith. Bringing your kids to Shabbat Services not only fulfills a mitzvah, but also reinforces what the Angels told Abraham, that the birth of his child would bring forth the birth of a nation.
With so many distractions in our lives, and so many secular activities that are scheduled for Friday nights, Shabbat Services are often sacrificed. But making Services a priority, just once a month, does so much for building the future and creating a bonding experience for our children to their Jewish faith.
Friday night was fun, informative and created a night filled with good Jewish memories that hopefully someday our children will pass onto their own children.

About the book:
The Family by David Laskin
David Laskin brings to life the upheavals of the twentieth century through the story of one family, three continents, two world wars, and the rise and fall of nations. A century and a half ago, a Torah scribe and his wife raised six children in a town at the western fringe of the Russian empire. Bound by their customs and ancient faith, the pious couple expected their sons and daughter to carry family traditions into future generations. But the social and political crises of our time decreed otherwise.
The torrent of history took the scribe’s family down three very different roads. One branch immigrated to America and founded the fabulously successful Maidenform Bra Company; another went to Palestine as pioneers and participated in the contentious birth of the state of Israel; the third branch remained in Europe and suffered the onslaught of the Nazi occupation.
In tracing the roots of this family—his own family—Laskin captures the epic sweep of the twentieth century. A modern-day scribe, Laskin honors the traditions, the lives, and the choices of his ancestors: revolutionaries and entrepreneurs, scholars and farmers, tycoons and truck drivers. The Family is a deeply personal, dramatic, and emotional account of people caught in a cataclysmic time in world history.

Pizza Pre-neg – October 18th, 6:00 PM
Hello TSS Family,
In an effort to bring our children together in an environment outside of Sunday School, TSS is rolling out a Pizza Pre-neg to be held on the 3rd Friday of the month, beginning this Friday at 6:00 PM. The TSS Pizza Pre-neg is open to all children of TSS. In order to make sure that we have enough Pizza for all of the children we are requesting that you RSVP by 8:00PM on Thursday, October 18th. In addition, please sign up to help with paper goods, etc.
It is our hope that the children will come together to enjoy some Pizza, create lasting friendships, and welcome Shabbat with their TSS family.
We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday evening, October 18th at 6:00 PM.
