JOIN US AT BIG SUNDAY - NEXT SUNDAY, MAY 7
It's another Big Sunday at the Breed Street Shul. Join us next Sunday, May 7, from 1-3 p.m. in Boyle Heights as we build bridges on Breed Street again this year as part of Big Sunday '06, L.A.'s Annual Day of Service. Come join the fun!
We need volunteers for two projects that day:
1. Help us welcome and show people the Shul and also help with some gardening and exterior clean up.
2. Help put on a party for our neighbors, Cesar Chavez House (the former Mount Sinai Clinic building), a shelter serving homeless families:
You can sign up by emailing us at jhsociety@aol.com, or directly on the Big Sunday website, http://www.bigsunday.org/aboutus.htm. We're grateful to David Levinson and all the other wonderful people at Temple Israel of Hollywood and supporting organizations for putting on this amazing day of community service each year.
I look forward to seeing you next Sunday.
Shabbat shalom,
Steve
Stephen J. Sass President

That day, Cuarteto Latinoamericano -- based in Mexico City and Miami - will appear at Breed Street Shul, 247 N. Breed Street, Boyle Heights at 12:30 p.m. at a mini-concert to play "Sueños de Sefarad," a brief work written for them by David Stock and based on four Ladino themes. Cellist Eric Han will provide 15-minute performances at the Shul at 1 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., alternated with the Breed Street Shul Project video and tours of the Shul from noon to 3 p.m. These events are free and open to the public.
