Join us as we celebrate the Bar Mitzvah of Eli Marden, son of Barbra and Doug Marden.
 This celebration will begin on Friday, with services starting at 7:30pm, followed by an Oneg hosted by the Marden Family in honor of Eli's Bar Mitzvah.
On Saturday Morning, services will begin at 10:00am, followed by a Kiddush provided by the Marden Family.

Lane Series Event
NEXT Monday, November 13
UVM Lane Series presents
the Semer Ensemble at the UVM Rital Hall on Monday, November 13 at 7:30 pm (Pre-show Talk with Artists in Hall, 6:30pm).
"The Semer Ensemble has brought the musicians of 1930s Berlin back to life after decades of silence."- Songlines
In 1938, on Kristallnacht, in Berlin, the entire archive and storehouse of an important repository of Jewish records and music was destroyed. Believing that this material must still exist somewhere in the form of sheet music and records sold to patrons, German musicologist Dr. Rainer E. Lotz has made it his life's work to seek out these many rare examples of Jewish music produced by Semer Records. An all-star cast of musicians from Europe and the United States has formed the Semer Ensemble to bring this recovered music to the public for the first time. The often dramatic, emotional songs range from klezmer, to cabaret, to prayer music. Led by the great Alan Bern (Brave Old World) and including Yiddish vocalist Lorin Sklamberg (Klezmatics) and more, this is an astonishing evening of the Golden Age of Jewish Music that was almost lost to history and violence.
This is a chance to have a wonderful evening of music while also raising a little money for Temple Sinai. Members and non-members may purchase tickets by
clicking the button below, logging in to ChaverWeb, and selecting the Events Button. ONLY 10 Tickets left, so order yours TODAY!
