Coming Events:
Annual Food Night
Once again we celebrate a Jewish victory over pagan forces. Way back then it was the Greeks (who still haven't recovered) who tried to make us forsake our beliefs. Happy ending – we prevailed. And we intend to mark the occasion once more with our annual Food Night. Besides the chow we've planned a special surprise activity. We'll get together at Beit Canada on Tuesday, Dec. 27 at 5:00 p.m. What do you have to do? Call Rona by Dec. 20 and tell her what dish you're bringing (dairy or parve). Hope to see you!
Visit to the New Tel Aviv Museum
Monday, Jan. 23 ,2012 at the
New Tel Aviv Museum: We'll take the 9:00 a.m. bus # 280 from the Central Bus Station. (It also runs along Rogozin so you can catch it there.) We'll get to Tel Aviv and board one more bus for two stops to the wonderful new world of the museum, which has enjoyed fabulous accolades. We'll do it on our own or with headphones. Then a pause for coffee or lunch. Interested? Let us know if you'll join us. Call
Chana or
Anita. We could all use a little culture.

ESCA in the community
You'll find our members manning the phones in the
Moked Ironi in times of stress. Call 106 from a landline or *10681 from a cellphone to report a problem or to get help with one.
"Give A Kid A Break Fund"
The donations keep coming. We got an
anonymous jubilee donation for the kids' fund. And then we got another
anonymous jubilee donation. This Anonymous sure is a generous person. Sincere thanks to you. And sincere thanks to
Rubin Silvern who took the initiative (as usual) on his own this year and delivered much-needed equipment to our adopted school. The school expressed profuse thanks.
How about you? Won't you give something to a needy kid? Ask
Chana about giving. It's really appreciated.
And don't forget about "Yadid L'Chinuch"
That helps kids within the school environment to catch up to other kids or get a little ahead if they can.
All it takes is 4 hours a week.
You don't have to have a teaching background. There are many ways you can help. If you'd like to know more then call
Nitza at 054-7000911.
Past Events:
Our Book Night was a pleasing success
The book reviews ranged from biographies of people past and present (Avraham Stern, Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt, Arnon Milchan and Nathan Sharansky to name a few) to narratives of exciting events of now and yesteryear and some fiction. Our readers narated stories from our own little country, from Europe and from as far away as Antarctica. We even got to hear about a new series of children's books aimed at promoting an ecofriendly environment. It's always refreshing to gather with people of like (and different) backgrounds and interests and exchange knowledge and views. Some of us like to talk and some of us just like to listen, but whichever activity you enjoy more we're always happy to see you. This was only our latest Book Night, and we'll be doing it again in the future. Next time we hope to see you, whether you are relating a story or just enjoying the literary atmosphere.
