Games Night Feb 2021

February 6, 2021 Howard Community

We had a great night of fun when the mistress of events created another virtual extravaganza. Beryl put together three very fun activities and if laughter is the measure, we had kilometres of fun.

The first was a drawing game in which participants had to draw a picture based on her descriptions. I saw the picture ahead of time and thought there was no way that anyone would get it. I was way wrong. Everyone did a smash-up job and they all looked great.

The second activity was a “20 questions” type event where the answers were pomegranates and groundhogs. Surprisingly, bread boxes aren’t as popular as they used to be, but the youngest member of the crew is the only one who has one. (Then again, she bakes a lot).

The third activity was trying to figure out who matched a truth that they had submitted earlier. Who knew that our folks are so worldly or get into so much trouble while wearing daisy dukes?

Looking forward to our next party which should be Purim 5781.

Thank you everyone for participating.

Post High Holy Days

Greeting Card — A healthy and safe new year 5781. Card designed by a local Artist (Wenda Abel) and donated to BSVT.

Well the High Holy Days have come and gone. We had a combination event of in-person (limited to 15 maximum including Clergy and the entire Tech Department) and Zoom. I have heard many comments that it was actually a spiritually successful event. I know I cried at one point. The glitches were few and the people were many as we listened and shared in an abbreviated version of the High Holy Day services that most of us are so used to.

I would have to say that the Rabbi and Cantorial Soloist hit all of the points I know I wanted to hear and did them well. Jonah will return next year, same big fish, same big story and that’s okay.

We all had a chance to share, visit a bit and at least “see” each other again to remember that we may be more isolated than we like, but we are not alone. We also all had a chance to kvell when we received our unexpected goody bags with lots of meaningful and extremely yummy surprises. Thank you board for putting these together on short notice and delivering them far and wide.

Thank you also to all who attended and those who worked so hard to make this a significantly better event than it would have been without the work.

Shanna Tova. May you be sealed in the book of life for many years to come.

Trivia Night Fundraiser

June 18, 2020 bsvt Fun Events

BSVT held a Zoom Trivia Night as a fundraiser for two charities. The first round of 15 questions was for Jewish Family and Child Services. The second 15 questions was for St. Paul’s Community Food Bank. BSVT and some congregants have good history with both of these charities and we raised over $1,100 for them.

JFCS actually wrote a nice article about us in their newsletter which you can find HERE.

Money and food were collected and donated. Thank you to Beryl and Lesley for their hard work in coming up with the idea, the questions and communicating with both groups.
