High Holy Day Ushers Needed
It might be hard to believe, but while everyone is making plans for the summer, we are aware that Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are just around the corner (3 months away). To all of our High Holy Day Ushers from last year, your time and contribution to our services was so very appreciated and ensured that people were welcomed and supported as they came into Temple Shir Tikva.
 
We are again looking for congregants to volunteer as ushers for our High Holy Day services. If you want the perfect opportunity to volunteer at TST, this is it!  A one time commitment, however, one that is vital. Our usher squad is an essential part of ensuring meaningful, engaging and participatory High Holy Day worship services for all.
 
Will you join our Usher Squad?
 
Please email Liz Vinsant, our Usher Squad coordinator, at [email protected] to let her know if you will be able to help. In mid-July you will receive a sign up form and instructions.
 
Thank you for helping our High Holy Day services run so smoothly.

What's Cookin'? Updates
The Cookbook Committee is delighted to report that all copies of 
 
(favorite recipes from TST kitchens)  have now been sold!  
 
We wish to express our thanks and heartfelt appreciation to everyone who contributed recipes and purchased cookbooks.  Your enthusiastic response has made this community effort a resounding success. 
 
Two corrections have come to our attention: 
1. Grapenut Custard Pudding (Desserts, Page 147)  - Please add 5 cups of milk to the ingredient list.
 
2. Ba"Hana" Bread (Breads & Rolls, Page 111). The correct title is Ba"nana" Bread.
 
We apologize to Nancy Gossels and Lee-Ann Yolin for these errors.
 
We hope that you continue enjoying this keepsake and are experimenting with new ingredients and/or recipes. It's really fun! 
 
B'tai Avon and Bon Appétit!
