SUMMARY:An Afternoon of Learning & Volunteering: Family-to-Family Volunteer Project
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday afternoon for a volunteer project. This year\, we will partner with Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston to support their clients through a variety of projects. Volunteers attending this all-ages program will help to create and pack hygiene kits and holiday gift bags for two Interfaith Ministries programs: Meals on Wheels and Refugee Services. In addition\, the Interfaith Ministries leadership team will join us to discuss why these projects are so vital to their mission. Lunch will be available to purchase for $5. \nDonations for the two projects may be dropped off in the rotunda at Emanu El in the bin marked “December 3 Volunteer Day” \nRegister online and join us! For questions\, contact Allison Hale \nHygiene kits are an essential tool for helping refugees to not only stay healthy but to also maintain their dignity.

SUMMARY:YP Event- Lies I Heard in Religious School: Jewish Holiday Stories for Grown-Ups
DESCRIPTION:Little kids hear all sorts of fanciful stories about the Jewish holidays: The Maccabees had oil that lasted for eight days. Moses raised his hand and the seas parted. Esther won a beauty contest. But the real stories of these holidays are way more complex and interesting (and sometimes even gory) than you probably ever knew… \nJoin Rabbi Fixler as we celebrate Chanukah with drinks and a latke-tasting menu of modern twists on the traditional potato pancake. We’ll enjoy delicious food and delectable conversation as we peer past the PG holiday stories you’ve heard and explore the R-rated versions you never knew.
