Happy New Year & Welcome to Our Steering Committee

Happy New Year from Jews’ Next Dor!

With the new year underway, our newly elected Steering Committee will be working with you, our participants and volunteers, to make the next 6 months and beyond of Jews’ Next Dor the best it can be. Thanks to everyone who attended our elections, we’ve ratified our bylaws and elected all candidates who ran for our Steering Committee.

Please join me in welcoming the new Jews’ Next Dor Steering Committee. Each of the 7 members of the committee will be focusing on a different need of the Jews’ Next Dor community.

Yonatan B. – Programming
Ella G. – Communications
Daniel W. – Post Programming
Aleeza A. – Volunteer Development

Kristin S. – Culture
David H. – Steering Committee Chair
Ben L. – Finance/Treasurer

Thanks to David K. for stepping up to be our Recording Secretary.

The Steering Committee can’t do it alone. They depend on your help, support, and participation. Are you willing to be on a committee in any of these areas? Do you have feedback to share? Need someone to listen? Want to volunteer? Have an event idea? Your Steering Committee is here for you: we’re always willing to listen, and would love your help in making the coming months of Jews’ Next Dor the best they can be. You can contact us directly or at JewsNextDor@beth-david.org.

No time commitment is too small or too big. We have all kinds of tasks that we need help with; to name just a few:

• copy editing
• potluck Shabbat hosting
• posting events online
• helping organize events
• setting-up or cleaning up at events
• providing baked goods for events
• taking pictures at events
• reading Torah at Jews’ Next Dor Shabbat on May 5th (or leading another part of the service)
• shopping for events
• helping organize volunteer trainings
• inviting a new person to attend an event with you

Wisdom & Witdom: Ireland or Oyreland

When: 9:30am -3pm, Saturday, January 28, 2012

Where: Congregation Beth David, 19700 Prospect Road, Saratoga, CA

Come and join Jews’ Next Dor at Saturday morning services with Congregation Beth David and lunch followed by this months installment of Wisdom & Witdom with Doug Brook. This is a great opportunity to get familiar with Congregation Beth David’s service that we’ll be leading on May 5th, 2012. Come sit with Jews’ Next Dor near the back.

Jews Next Dor is an active community of Jewish 20 and 30 somethings centered in the South Bay.

Wisdom & Witdom occurs on the 4th Saturday of the month. This month we’ll seek to answer the question: Were there ever Jews in Ireland, aside from emergency landings at Dublin Airport?

In conjunction with opening night of “Finian’s Rainbow” — directed by Doug Brook, at South Bay Musical Theatre in Saratoga — we’ll Eire out this question, and also explore how three New York Jews in the 1940s wrote Broadway’s definitive Irish musical.

This is the fourth installment of Wisdom & Witdom, the successor to last year’s popular Laugh & Learn, led by Doug Brook.

Starts right after the kiddush, around 1:15. Session runs under an hour. Don’t let Facebook RSVPs fool you; there’s always at least a couple dozen people there, sometimes many more.

Open to the public. No prior knowledge required, as proved by the instructor.

For more questions, feel free to email us at JewsNextDor@beth-david.org

Organized by Aleeza A.
