July’s SHJCF Newsletter:

Hello!

Happy July! I hope you’re all doing wonderfully and enjoying the summer.

Unfortunately, we haven’t had much interest in volunteering to help plan or fund the secular Rosh Hashanah service. If we don’t get enough interest in the next few weeks, we’ll put it off for next year and just have our traditional Tashlich event this year. If you are interested in volunteering to help plan the event, please contact me at [email protected]. If you’re interested in donating, you can visit the GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-create-a-secular-rosh-hashanah-service-in-orlando?

For this month, we have our monthly Jewmanists meetup scheduled for Tuesday, July 21 at 6:30pm, and our monthly Shabbat dinner scheduled for Friday, July 24 at 6:30pm. Both will be held at TooJay’s Deli at 2624 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32803. We’d love to see you there!

Finally, we’re still scoping out interest in a possible Sukkot camping event, where multiple members would camp at the same local campground one night of Sukkot and eat and hangout in a sukkah (or sukkah-like structure) together. If that’s something you’d be interested in, please let me know at [email protected]!

Have a wonderful July!
