Temple Israel Summer Porch Party
Thursday, August 15, 6:30pm
Jewish Tradition says we should celebrate life by giving to worthy causes graciously. Temple Israel is embracing this idea with a Summer Porch Party featuring the music of our own Steve Gilbert. The party will include ice cream, cookies, entertainment and a raffle. The cost is $5 per person and children under 12 are free. In the spirit of the event, we are asking attendees to help support CHOW with a tangible donation.
Our guest soloist will be Steve Gilbert, who is well known in the Jewish community for his musical talents. Steve is a Professor Emeritus of Psychology at SUNY Oneonta, a Past President of Temple Israel, a frequent davener of services, and an amateur performer known as Ukelele Steve by residents of several senior living facilities. He has entertained many times at the Senior Friendship Club as well as Temple Israel events. He has a varied repertoire which includes Jewish music.
The food will be Kosher and we will provide dairy and non-dairy ice cream as well as gluten free cookies so everyone can partake in the refreshments. Water and drinks will also be available. We are honored to have our raffle prize, a quilt that was started by our own Pam Lavker, of blessed memory, and finished by Maxine Rosenberg and Kathy Cederholm. Raffle tickets are $3 each or 4 for $10 and you don’t need to be present to win.
Please RSVP by August 13th to your respective Temple offices. If you cannot attend but wish to purchase raffle tickets, you may do so by calling Tammy at Temple Israel (607-723-7461). We look forward to celebrating with you on August 15th!

Machzor Lev Shalem features egalitarian text better suited to our current Conservative practice, modern translations that re more approachable, transliteration to aid those who wish to engage but lack Hebrew skills, and many commentaries and interpretations to enhance both worship and study.
This is your opportunity to participate in the fundraiser to acquire these new Machzors for Temple Israel! Please select one of the categories below:
