Something to do next weekend

Looking for something to do with the family this weekend? Thinking about having a family portrait done for the all important holiday card and gift for Grandma? Well known portrait photographer Debby Brown will be at Maimonides Academy at their Family Fun Day at a greatly reduced rate of a $36 sitting fee (normally $150) this Saturday, October 17th. Each 30 minute session must be reserved so call and reserve your time slot with Gigi at 203/918-8788 or with the school itself at 203/748-7129.

Maimonides recently sold their property to a neighboring school so that they can move to a facility that will better suit their growing needs, the fourth move Maimonides Academy has made since their 1978 founding. This nurturing school provides a Jewish and secular learning environment from nursery school through 5th grade, offering a more challenging curriculum than many of the other local private educational institutions in our area.

Other activities that will be happening at this family oriented afternoon will include Judaic sand art, a variety of bouncy things and the reason I will stop by: delicious and juicy Kosher Hot Dogs.

Bring the family, save some money on your holiday photos and check out this amazing resource for your children and their children’s children.

Temple Shearith Israel In Ridgefield, CT

Temple Shearith Israel renovated their event room, The Pavilion, and had a showcase to present the new space to the local community. Event space is very limited in our area and now the community has one more option for their events.

A congregant took photos of all the vendors and their wares and it has been interesting for me to see how others see our wheatgrass display. Here are some of the photos Jeff B. took.
