Senior Group Prime Timers Remarks from Marc
6
Mah Tovu
Hashanah in September. We have January 1 and we have July 1. I like to think of
even more NEW things to celebrate. In July, two NEW members joined our TEam.
Rabbi Gidon Isaacs and Yana List will be great additions to an already great staff.
Both will bring NEW ideas and NEW excitement. Our NEW program book was
completed and should already be on your coffee table by the time you are reading
this. Our NEW school year is being planned which will include some NEW
curriculum. In most years, this would have been enough, Dayenu, but this year
under renovation. The ceiling in awaiting NEW ceiling tiles, the walls are awaiting NEW paint and the
been built. The wiring for our NEW sound system has been laid and our NEW lectern has been ordered.
I have no doubt that when you enter our NEW prayer space your response will be similar to Balaam
worship and says:
Mah Tovu-- How fair are your tents, O Jacob, your dwellings, O Israel!
I through Your abundant love, enter your house; I bow down in awe at Your Holy Temple.
Prime Timers
Italian restaurants in South Jersey? Who knew?
Marc Rothstein, Executive Director
Well, really, everyone knew. Neither of the Prime Timers’ next lunch destinations are exotic for this
“L” is for LaScala’s Fire on
Thursday, Aug. 17, in the Promenade, and “M” is for Marcello’s in Evesham on Thursday, Sept. 14.
(That is the second Thursday of the month, instead of the third Thursday, because of Rosh Hashanah.)
As usual, please contact Myra and Barry Gross at 856-863-1302 no later than the day before the lunch
if you are planning to attend. They welcome suggestions for restaurants representing the rest of the
alphabet, as well as suggestions for other Prime Timers events, such as concerts, plays and tours.

August is our month for rest. We hope you are enjoying a pleasant summer, whether traveling, visiting
with family and friends, or just having a lovely staycation.
We have already begun planning our programs for 2017-2018. Be sure to watch for announcements in
We kick off our season on Wednesday, Sept. 13, with a brown-bag lunch featuring Rabbi Gidon Isaacs
as our guest speaker. His topic will be announced later this summer. Please remember to mark your
calendars, and be ready to pack your lunch and join us as summer ends and we begin a new season.
We forgot to list
Murray Sarvar,
our Accompanist, in our 2017-2018
Program Book. Murray is a vital part of
Temple Emanuel and we apologize for
the omission.
