Kehillah Kedoshah
Hey friends! A new song is circulating the synagogue. It's called "Kehillah Kedosha," which means holy community. Some of the lyrics go like this:
It's how we help, it's how we give
It's how we pray, it's how we heal, it's how we live
I think this really sums up the feeling we have at our temple. It is there that we eat, sleep, pray, work, learn, teach, play, care, grow, laugh, cry.
Sorry, I just got deep there for a second! Anyways, this weekend, we have our baby-sitting fundraiser (possibly--if we get anyone to sign up!) and then our final overnight of the year and the last one before our seniors leave for college! : (
Gonna be so much fun, y'all!!!! Catchya there!

Sorry, I'm a Slacker!
Hey everyone, sorry I've been a slacker recently!
Coming up next is Mitzvah Morning on May 4. AvA is holding a car wash in the synagogue parking lot and will be asking for a recommended donation per wash. We have some suggestions for where to donate the money, and you can submit your vote to the right of this post.
Also, the Relay for Life is Fri-Sat, June 27-28 6PM to 12PM at North Attleboro High School. You can join Team Achim and there are three ways to register (I've already registered, which brings us to 4 members, so please join!):
- register online and pay your registration with a credit card. Go to http://main.acsevents.org/rflmagtrattleboro.
- register online and pay your registration fee off-line with cash or check made out to the American Cancer Society and mail it to Susan Bradie or drop it off at the synagogue.
- register the old-fashioned way - with a form. E-mail me and I'll give Susan your name so she can get the packet to you.
She asks everyone, "Think about all the people you know who have been affected by cancer. Join the relay team and make a difference. Think how easy it will be to fundraise in your pajamas by doing it on-line!"
REGISTRATION MUST BE COMPLETE BY APRIL 25. Please sign-up!!! Relay is an amazing event, a great cause, and we have so much fun! We'll need an adult chaperone and supplies and stuff.
If you have any questions, you can e-mail me, call, IM, or post a comment! Catchya later!

Amy's Corner
Bonjourno! It's time for Amy's Corner! Our amazing advisor had some news for us, so here we go!
"I was looking at dates and I don't think we can do anything in April. The 5th is my anniversary, the 12th is your prom, and the 19th-26th is Passover. I remember a while ago asking about nights for the babysitting fundraiser and the Rabbi said no to the 26th because it was Passover. Maybe we can do something on Sunday the 27th? Go out to breakfast? Cinema Pub? Bowling?
May 4th is Mitzvah Morning. Donna is working on something for us to do because the plans with Christopher Heights fell through. She didn't really know the details. So, that may be our next event. Then maybe we can shoot for the 24th for our next/last sleepover of the year? I'd like to work on the Israel map at that one if possible. The 17th was the night that was bad for Lucas and Nicole. Can you ask everyone if they are still interested in the Parent's Night Out fundraiser that night and then having the sleepover after? We could possibly do that too on the 24th. Just an idea.
And last I need dates for the barbecue. The 8th is graduation and the 15th is Father's Day. I think we were thinking the 22nd."
So to sum up, April's not looking good : ( Also, we can't decoupage with the old people this year : ( I'm sure they'll miss Lucas ; ) For Mitzvah Morning, we're being given something else to do. As for the baby-sitting night, she was wondering if we wanted to couple that with another overnight (which we must have!), and May 24th is a possible date for that. Finally, the BBQ is probably going to be late June this year (the 22nd). OK, now I must go! Post ya later.

GTs, guys, GTs (like, legit!)
What up, my people?! On Sunday, we made our 2nd annual trip to the Attleboro Planned Parenthood Clinic to see Marcia and "stock up!" First, we went to Bliss for lunch and ice cream (FYI: They don't bring you to-go cups!) It was pretty awesome; Sarah stalked babies and learned about birth control (ironically)! Unfortunately, there's no good day during April except the day of the Norton prom, so we don't have another event planned until May :*(
Amy wanted me to post the following:
On April 11 - 13, 2008, 8th - 12th graders from JRF congregations across North America will have the opportunity to attend the exciting No'ar Hadash North American Teen Kallah. It is now the time of year to begin looking forward to, and registering for, our gathering of Reconstructionist teens from across the continent.
A wonderful group of teen council members are hard at work developing an amazing retreat weekend. This is a great opportunity to meet other Reconstructionist youth, have fun, take part in experiential Jewish learning, sing and dance, hang out, and be part of our exciting growing youth movement. And, they can do all of this while exploring historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The cost of the weekend is only $180, plus travel, for registration forms that are postmarked by March 26, 2008. Included in this amount are:
-- Accommodations at the Courtyard Philadelphia Airport hotel
-- Meals (Friday dinner through Sunday breakfast)
-- Transportation between Philadelphia Airport / 30th Street Station and the event
-- All program and entry fees
-- A T-shirt
More information about the kallah, and about No'ar Hadash, is available at http://www.noarhadash.org
Kallah was totally cool when we hosted it. Randy stole bowling shoes, we fed the homeless and we paper-machied our faces! Unfortunately, again, it interferes with the Norton prom, so Rachel and I won't be able to go and I know Lucas is going to be in FL, but everbody else should definitely consider it!
TTYL, home-skillet biscuit!

Ice Skating
Let me just say: I only fell once! I think everybody else made it through pretty much intact. Unfortunately, we couldn't get Amy out on the ice; apparently, doing bills is more fun than hanging with us! Anyway, we met for brunch at Goochie's in North Attleboro, then hung out at Nicole's for awhile (don't worry, guys---Britney's not married!) We met up with Amy at the temple. Amy, we're sorry we didn't ask you to brunch!!!! (We're not the best planners!) We skated in Franklin for over an hour---well, Lucas, Nicole, Sarah, and Ariel skated; me and Micah pretty much made best friends with the wall and got jealous of the 3-foot-tall people who were perfectly comfortable whizzing around the rink! Oh, and Sarah glided around trying to make up her karma points with little kids---are you even yet, Sarah?! Finally, we ended the day with our ritual trip to Wendy's. I don't know about everyone else (especially Amy---bills rock!), but I had a blast! Next up is March 2nd, when we'll meet up at the temple after Hebrew school, grab a quick bite, then head over to the Attleboro Family Planning Clinic to hang with Marcia, and see if they have any new flavors (this event was quite a success last year!)! We're planning to go to Bliss afterwards. Can't wait! I'll leave you with this: Liu Ping! Liu Ping! Liu Ping!

February
Bonjour, mes amis! That's French for 'hello, friends!' J'adore les caniches! That's French for 'I love poodles!'
Anyhow, without a response for the P. Bruins game, we resorted back to ice skating. Amy says, "We'll meet at the synagogue at 2:15 on Sunday, 2/17 and then head to the Franklin skating rink. Skating is $4.00 and it's an additional $4.00 to rent skates if you do not own them. I believe they open the snack bar, but I know they have vending machines, so please bring extra money for snacks." This would be so much fun, so hopefully everybody can make it!
Also, after Shabbat B'Yachad this Saturday, February 9, we'll celebrate the very first Chreeestmas! We're not quite sure what this will entail yet, but it commemorates the letter E, so anything you want to contribute, feel free (you can even make a party hat decorated with E's!)!
If you're interested and we can find a date that's good for everybody, I think it'd be really cool if we went out to breakfast one morning (it could be more like brunch, so we don't have to get up too early!)
I hope everyone's having a good week! See ya Saturday! Peace out!
