Lunch and Learn: The Situation in Israel
Monday, May 24
Be sure to join Lunch and Learn on Monday for an opportunity to understand the current escalation of violence and unrest in Israel from one who has lived it. Rabbi Gadi, who was born and raised in Israel, offers an insider’s perspective on the situation there — the ongoing conflict and the way forward.

Rabbi Gadi will return to his usual Lunch and Learn timeslot on Thursday to continue his series on the history of the Jews.

Mens’ Club Invite
With the gradual return to “normalcy”, the Mens’ Club committee has been working to revitalize the long held traditions of our organization.
However, before all else, we would like to extend our most heartfelt thanks to Micah Kaplan, M.D. for his dedication, years of service as President, and commitment to our Club and Congregation. We are indebted to you and your guidance.
We are having our first meeting of this year on Tuesday, May, 25, at 4:00 PM. Because of ongoing social distancing directives, this meeting will be held through the Temple’s ZOOM account. Just go to the Tifereth Israel website, click on the “Shabbat Services or a Meeting Online link. Enter the code (same as for services) and you will be admitted.
Our agenda will include nominating and voting for Club Officers, discussion of proposed future events, and just sharing our Brotherhood.
I hope to see you at our meeting. Please feel free to contact me either by phone or email, if you have any questions.

Virtual Silent Auction Opening Party 🎉🎉🎉
It’s a party, and you’re invited.
We’re kicking off our Virtual Silent Auction with an opening party to show off all the great items and services we’ve been gathering for you. Talk about convenient: right from the easy chair in your living room — or your deck or patio or even poolside in your backyard — you can raise a glass of wine or a fizzy soft drink, munch on cheese and crackers whatever hors d’oeuvres are stored in your fridge, and peruse all the offerings that make this Silent Auction different and irresistible (fun).
Come to the party this coming Sunday, May 16, at 5 p.m.
Directions: visit www.
See you Sunday at 5.

Seems everybody we talk to these days is aglow with auction fever. The word is out. Plans for the 2021 installment of the Virtual Silent Auction are underway, and excitement is in the air. Okay, keep your shirts on, folks, here’s everything you need to know:
When is it?
Place your bids at the opening party on Sunday, May 16, at 5 p.m.
(Don’t be late. You snooze, you lose.)
How do we bid?
Come to the opening party for a look-see and a chance to place opening bids.
Will it be as much fun as last year’s auction?
You betcha! More stuff and more fun!
What are the items?
Aha! Glad you asked, because that’s where you come in…
Our shul has 121 members. If every member would donate one really nice item or a service, we would have one mega bang-up event. Sotheby’s and Christie’s — eat your hearts out! There’s a new guy in town. When it comes to auction action, Congregation Tifereth Israel tops ‘em all.
Here’s how to donate:
- Choose your item, and take a photo of it. (Yes, donations are tax deductible.)
- If you’re donating a gift certificate or service, type it up and take a photo.
- Email the photos to drtombyrne@me.com or madelyn765@aol.com. Include a description
and the value of your donated items. (We will start the bidding at half the value.)
- Questions? Problems? Call Madelyn at 631-559-2816 or Tom at 631-765-5275.
- Chop-chop. The opening party will be here before you know it. Be a part of the success with your donation and your bid. You’ll have a rollicking good time.
Thanks everyone. Hope to hear from you soon.
Francis, Madelyn and Tom
