Past Events
December 14 Hanukkah Build-A-Bear for Aishel House
A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate hanukkah with Congregation Or Ami's Sisterhood at Build-A-Bear in Memorial City Mall. We had a wonderful time creating adorable dolls for children at Aishel House at the Houston Medical Center. This year we had such a wonderful turnout that some of the dolls were also donated to Texas Children's Hospital Westside.
Thank you to Elaine Gladstone, Judy Karonika, Rita Marshall, Jean Quiat and Joan Sarah-Foster for delivering the lovey's to Rabbi Schmulder at Aishel House on Friday.
October 15 Pasta in the Hut
Congregation Or Ami Sisterhood celebrated Sukkot with a delicious dinner prepared by Helena Vonville. It was a beautiful night to enjoy a wonderful meal with friends. We decorated the sukkah after Rabbi Estes led the havdallah service. We finished off the evening with a scrumptious Italian cream cake. Thank you Helena, Judy, Elaine H. and Joan for an excellent program.
