Brotherhood Mitzvah Project

/in , /by

Thank you everyone for coming to The Temple Brotherhood Mitzvah project this weekend!  We toured Supplies Over Seas with Denise Sears, CEO, and then helped to sort medical supplies.

The Temple Brotherhood is a great way for Jewish men and non-Jewish spouses of Jewish women to “work, play, learn, serve, contribute, and help”.

The Temple Brotherhood financially supports Chavurat Shalom, Youth Group TILTY, Camp GUCI Scholarships, Trager Early Child Education Center, College Outreach Programs, JFCS Food Pantry, B’Nai Mitzvah Bibles, Confirmation Kiddush Cups, New Member Welcome Baskets, Adopt a Family, Jewish Film Festival, Habitat for Humanity, and the Softball Team. Our main projects include The Book of Remembrance and The Brotherhood Chanukah Dinner.  We also do several Brotherhood mitzvah project events throughout the year.

Supplies Over Seas is a charitable group that sends unused medical supplies and equipment to Africa and South America that would ordinarily be thrown out. This worthwhile organization was started by Dr. Norton Waterman.

Brotherhood Distillery Tour

Brotherhood Distillery Tour at Peerless Distilling

The Temple Brotherhood visited Peerless Distilling, one of downtown Louisville’s newest distillers,  on June 12. Carson Taylor, president and fifth generation, gave us a historical account of Peerless’s founding by his great, great grandfather Henry Kraver, a Jewish immigrant from Poland. The original distillery was started in 1889. After a tour of the distillery and rikhouse, we tasted four different ryes then enjoyed a brisket dinner catered by Chef Z.  Thank you all so much for making our Brotherhood Distillery Tour a success!

Purim Party at The Temple

/in , /by

The Temple Religious School and The Temple Brotherhood hosted a fantastic Purim Party at The Temple! Thank you everyone for coming out to our Purim Party!

Purim is celebrated by the reading of the Scroll of Esther, known in Hebrew as the Megillat Esther.  This relates the basic story of Purim. Under the rule of King Ahashuerus, Haman, the King’s prime minister, plots to exterminate all of the Jews of Persia. His plan is foiled by Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai, who ultimately save the Jews of the land from destruction. The reading of the megillah is typically a rowdy affair, punctuated by booing and noise-making when Haman’s name is read aloud. Our Purim Carnival is always loads of fun with costumes, games and family fun for all ages.

THE CHESTER B. DIAMOND RELIGIOUS SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT :

Our learning community strives to create a caring atmosphere of friendship.  Additionally, encouraging meaningful understanding and a dedicated commitment to Jewish life – in school and at home.  The wonderful teaching faculty is diligent that all classroom experiences are valuable and nurture a positive Jewish identity.  In addition, our goal is for each student to participate in enjoyable experiences that are part of Temple life, be exposed to and internalize our biblical stories, and to embrace Jewish culture as well as Reform ethical beliefs and values.

Happy Hanukkah! A Great PARTY Happened Here!

/in , /by

Happy Hanukkah! Over 250 people came to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah at The Temple. Thank you to Brotherhood for cooking over 1000 latkes! #thetemplelouky

Hanukkah, meaning “dedication” in Hebrew, refers to the joyous eight-day celebration during which Jews commemorate the victory of the Maccabees over the armies of Syria in 165 B.C.E. and the subsequent liberation and “re-dedication” of the Temple in Jerusalem. Our Brotherhood Hanukkah supper is the stuff of legends. 1000 latkes are prepared, songs and games for all ages are shared.

This includes: Chavurat Shalom, Youth Group TILTY, Camp GUCI Scholarships, Trager Early Child Education Center, and many more programs.
