Men's Club Raffle & Dinner PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 01 June 2010 11:27
May was a very busy and extremely successful month for the Men's Club. The inaugural Lag B'Omer Invitational Texas Hold'm Tournament was a success. Everyone who attended had a good time.  Congratulations to Davis Gaynes as the first champion of the event, and a good job by the other winners. Lag B'Omer field day was Sunday May 16th, and mother nature was on our side this year. It was a beautiful day, and we had our largest attendance in many years. The teachers had the students enjoying all sorts of activities, including relay races, tug-o-war, and others, while the Men's Club prepared and served the barbeque. Our annual Men's Club Raffle & Dinner will be Tuesday June 1. The buffet dinner will begin at 6:30pm and the raffle around 7:30pm. Any member who purchased a ticket is invited to join us with their spouse. We hope to see many of our supporters there, but if not, we still wish you good luck in winning the great prizes we are offering this year.

By Jon Coby: This May is going to be a very busy month for the Men's Club.  It, most properly, begins with our continued commitment for the safety of our synagogue's members by sponsoring the maintenance and training of the shul’s staff in CPR and the use of the emergency defibrillators, On Thursday, May 13th we are having our inaugural LAG B'OMER INVITATIONAL, a no-limit Texas Hold 'Em Tournament.

By Jon Coby: Spring is here and “along with the bees,” the Men's Club is going to be very busy this time of year.  We, along with the Hebrew High School students, are presently packing the special Yom Hashoah yahrtzeit candles that we send to everyone.  If you have not already received them in the mail, they will be arriving very shortly in time for their lighting.  This year, Yom Hashoah is Monday, April 12 so the candles are to be lit after sundown on Sunday, April 11.  

 Sunday May 2nd will be your opportunity to save lives. The Synagogue will be holding its annual Blood Drive. This was rescheduled from the winter because of one of our severe snow storms. It takes only a few minutes, but can make a large difference in someone's life. 

Planning is underway for the annual Lag B’Omer field day and picnic that the Men’s Club sponsors with the Hebrew School.  This year, the field day will be on Sunday, May 16th so mark your calendars.  In the past, this has been a very successful event and there is no reason why this year’s picnic will be any less of a success.  In fact, we anticipate this year’s to be better than ever!  The Lag B’Omer field day and picnic is done in coordination with the Hebrew School so all students should be encouraged to attend and participate.  Additionally, parents and all members of the synagogue are invited to come down, watch the activities, eat some hot-off-the-grill hot dogs and hamburgers, and have a good time.

Yom Hashoah Yellow Candle Program PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 19 February 2010 09:12
By Jon Coby: It has been over sixty years since Nazi concentration camps were liberated and the Holocaust that claimed six million Jewish lives came to an end.  To ensure that the six million did not die in vain and that the Holocaust never happens again, the Men’s Club will once again encourage all members of the JCCH to participate in the “Yom HaShoah Yellow Candle Program.”. As the years pass, the memories of those who fell victim to the ultimate hate crime must not diminish.  That is why next month the Men’s Club will mail out special yellow yahrtzeit candles to the congregation and encourages every family in our synagogue to light just one of these candles on the night of Sunday, April 11.   When each family lights their yellow candle, it will increase the awareness of the Holocaust, perpetuate the memory of the six million, honor the righteous people that risked their lives to protect Jews, and perpetuate our commitment to our people. The memory is important because the number of Holocaust survivors is diminishing with each passing day and taking our first-person connection with history.  As we lose this precious link to our past, those who deny that the Holocaust ever happened gain strength and are poised to revise history!  Sadly, recent published reports show that 20% of American high school students lack any knowledge of the Holocaust and are ripe for the revisionist history we wish to avoid. Yom HaShoah yellow candles are highly visible symbols of what really happened and are symbols of what we hope will always be tolerance of those who are different.  While the color of the candles recalls the badges Jews were forced to wear in Nazi-occupied Europe, their flames inspire hope in all of us that we can yet make our world a tolerant place to live. Yellow candles lit on Yom HaShoah are a highly visible symbol for “keeping the flame alive” and insure that the messages of freedom and tolerance continue to shine! Look for your Yom Ha Shoah Yellow Candle in the mail in the week of April 11, light it, and commit to never forget!
