Is anyone interested in placing an order for kosher venison? That's right, Bambi is OK or should I say " 'K with the Rabbis".
I happen to like the taste of Venison. I have tried Bison which can also be kosher if butchered correctly.
It might be fun to pick some unusual meats and food that are kosher and have a food-tasting night at FHC.
If there are vegetarians out there that would like to get involved with a food tasting night, you are welcome to add your ideas/imput.
Below is a link for kosher venison.
Shalom Jeremy

HAPPY SECULAR NEW YEAR
To all readers of the blog, let me wish you and yours a happy and healthy secular new year.
As I look back on this past secular year the biggest events for my Krew certainly were Noah's brain surgery and Emily's Bat Mitzvah. We are quite thankful that both life events went well and without any complications. We've been blessed....
On a personal note, I thank my loving and lovely wife for her moral support throughout everything and for being a terrific spouse, mother to my children and friend.
To all Shalom. Jeremy

A BIG CHANUKA THANKS TO EVERYONE
On December 25, 2005 we held FHC's Chanuka party. We had over 50 guests enjoying the open gym, barbeque food and movie shown in the library on the big screen. Not to mention the salads, pickles, latkes and the delicious cookies and gelt, which appeared to be enjoyed by all. Below this blog entry are some pictures from the event.
As co-president of the Men's Club, let me take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped out in the preparation, planning and execution of this event. Since I do not mention names on this blog, I know that I will not have the problem of forgetting anyone.
And to the guests, I hope you enjoyed the evening. I am glad so many people joined the Rabbi at the downtown candlelighting ceremony. I could not attend the candlelighting since I was busy getting the party ready at FHC. The party for me, by the way, went very fast since I was primarily working in the kitchen and elsewhere. I would have liked to schmooze with everyone, but we can do that at the next few events coming up........
Joint Men's club/sisterhood breakfast with speaker 1/8/06 (A VERY INTERESTING TOPIC... COME AND LEARN MORE.)
Doc Rock 1/21/06 (LIVE ROCK MUSIC FROM ONE OF THE PREMIER LOCAL BANDS)
The Super Bowl 2/5/06 (FHC'S SECOND ANNUAL SUPER BOWL PARTY. LAST YEAR WE HAD OVER ONE HUNDRED GUESTS. THIS YEAR LET'S TOP THAT.)
THESE EVENTS ARE OPEN TO MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS. IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD HAVE OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES JOIN US FOR THESE EVENTS.
SHALOM. JEREMY

FHC moves forward with Architects
Last night the congregation met and voted to authorize funds to be expended for architectural services that will, if implemented, greatly enhance FHC .
I applaud the membership, and our leaders for moving forward on this initiative so that FHC can be proud of its physical plant (our house of worship) and can honor the memory of people like Ben Hirsch who, almost 50 years ago, had the vision and the tenacity to secure the land and build FHC.
We should never lose hope for an optimistic future. We depend upon our leadership to evaluate current conditions and plan for the future. Our Leaders must balance the needs and desires of a multifaceted congregation. I look forward to the coming months when we will need optimistic leadership to guide the congregation into our future.
I also hope that we step up as congregants and suppport positive planning to improve FHC both physically and spiritually.

The Blog is alive and well.
We were away and I was unable to hit the blog with content. Here is some relevant information to get us going again.
Save the following dates:
12/3/05 for the Bikkur Holim Shabbat Service
12/25/05 for the Chanukah party at FHC (For Jews, that date should not be that busy)
2/5/06 THE SUPER BOWL PARTY at FHC
I will discuss these events in greater detail. But, come to FHC for these events and you will have a joyous time.
And on another note, buy SCRIP-GIFT cards from FHC before December 1, 2005 because FHC makes money on their sale and it costs you nothing. The program is so simple. Buy the cards for a cash value. Make the check payable to FHC. The cards have the full value you paid for them, but the company pays FHC a percentage and that money goes to the fundraising efforts of FHC. I purchased a bunch and I calculated that FHC will make about $109. on the cards I purchased. As Adam Sandler is quoted as saying "NOT TOO SHABBY". I will also buy more next year when we do it again. If you have any questions you can contact me, or one of the coordinators of the program.

Bat Mitzvah thanks
On behalf of our family we would like to express our warm and sincere gratitude to the Rabbi for all his help concerning our daughter Emily and specifically in regards to her Bat Mitzvah.
The Rabbi has been there for our family whenever we have needed his spiritual, moral and emotional guidance. He has found time to meet with us even when the time and location was not opportune. He has shown extraordinary patience and guidance when it has been needed most.
On November 5, 2005 the Rabbi was wonderful and helpful. He coordinated the service, including the involvement of my family and my father, a reform Rabbi. Moreover, he enlivened the Friday night and Saturday morning services with interactive singing including a Noah's ark song which was enjoyed by all. We received numerous compliments from family and friends about how wonderful and warm the service was because of the Rabbi. It was great hearing the compliments from people who live all across our nation.
I would also be remiss if we did not thank Emily's instructors, and the Hebrew School for their terrific preparation of Emily for her Bat Mitzvah. Emily appeared so comfortable on the Bima. It is not surprising since many months ago I asked Emily if she was nervous about her upcoming Bat Mitzvah and her response was, "No, it's only Hebrew!" That alone says alot about the First Hebrew educational experience.
Shalom,
Robin & Jeremy
