Join our TSS family on Friday night, May 2, at 6 pm to say, “Goodbye and Good Luck” to the Silverstein family. They will  be moving to the Boston area this summer. Carrie, Marc and Grace have been an intergal part of TSS. Marc has served on the TSS board and has also been our Bagel guy on Sunday mornings. The Silverstein’s hosted Sukkot in their home this year and other endeavors.. Grace has been attending religious school for 3 years. Carrie has been available whenever asked to do something. Their two older sons have attended our Chinese buffet on Christmas and services as well. They will certainly all be missed.

Please bring a dish to share for dinner at 6 pm  before our pre-neg (6:30). Salads, sandwiches, finger food, any dish that is quick and easy to share before services is welcome. Please contact Marlene Plotnick at mar4136@aol.com or call 610-398-0559 to let her know what you are bringing.

Looking forward to seeing many people, especially families, for this sad but fun evening. RSVP to mar4136@aol.com by April 29.

*******Purim at TSS*******

Top Five Reasons Why You and Your Family Should Attend TSS’s Purim Celebration:

(1) If you’re having a bad hair day, you can always wear a mask & no one will know who you are!

(2) You can’t eat Hamantaschen on Yom Kippur!

(3) Mordechai – 1; Haman – 0!!!

(4) It’s during religious school, so you’re here anyway!

(5) Making noise, having fun and celebrating Purim with your Temple Shirat Shalom friends and family is a mitzvah!
