The Mitzvah of Sponsoring an Oneg Shabbat
Sponsoring an Oneg serves many purposes. It helps in our desire to socialize with one another following an evening of spiritual renewal. Jews are known for noshing and talking, usually at the same time! It's an opportunity to share the joy of a special mitzvah … a birthday, an anniversary, a bar or bat mitzvah, a graduation, a confirmation, recovery from illness, a …you get the point. Sponsoring an Oneg is something each family can and should do from time to time. We all have events in our lives worth sharing with one another.What's involved? Nothing more than providing a selection of cakes, cookies, and/or fruit, including a few sugarless items, on your chosen Friday. The office can assist in letting you know how many people to plan for.
Won't you share your next celebration with your Congregation Albert family? What special event is on your calendar? Plan ahead. Call the office to pick a date and sponsor an Oneg Shabbat today.

Entertainment Books,
still a bargain at $35
Congregation Albert is now selling the Entertainment Book for the same price as last year, $35. It contains coupons for reduced rates at restaurants of all categories, hotels, attractions, and retail businesses, local and national. We offer the Book as a synagogue fund-raiser; it's a great deal for even greater deals. This is an easy way to explore your home town cost-effectively using the many specials inside.
Books are here now and are effective November 1 through October 31, 2006. Come to the office to purchase yours. Although many fund-raising organizations now sell them, you can probably sell several by letting friends, co-workers and neighbors know that you have them. They also make excellent gifts. The money we raise goes toward general operations.
TIP: Keep your book in the glove compartment, where it is always handy to consult and use. You will be surprised at how much more often you will use it.
