High School Senior Send-off May 5th 5 - 7pm High school seniors and their families are invited to participate in a special ceremony that will honor them on Sunday May 5th 2012, from 5pm - 7pm in the Share Chapel. Rabbi Gross will lead a short Havdalah service* which will conclude with the passing of the Torah from each parent to their child. As each family holds the Torah, parents will have the opportunity to share their thoughts with their child. The ceremony will conclude with a brief and informative workshop on topics ranging from Hillel to Birthright trips. And no celebration organized by Sisterhood would be complete without food. We're having an Italian buffet dinner for the whole family. Al and Luise Samuels are adding to the festivities by providing gifts to our graduates. If you would like to be a part of this simcha please contact Allison Tromer at 954-345-1857 or alkev@bellsouth.net by April 29th.
