Movie Night
Movie Night for May is Saturday, May 18. Is Movie Night too serious, too educational, and too dark sometimes? Well, not this May. Movie Night will be none of the above. Light, comical, inane, absurd and ridiculous is the theme for May. So be forewarned! The movie is Flirting with Disaster, in English from 1996 and runs 1 hour, 32 minutes.
In this comedy of errors, soon-to-be-father Mel Coplin sets out to find his birth parents, accompanied by his wife and sexy female adoption agent. Their quest becomes even more anarchic once drug dealers and a pair of gay FBI agents get involved. If you like offbeat comedy, you might enjoy this movie. And remember, it’s free! All big name actors signed on for this farce: Ben Stiller, Patricia Arquette, Tea Leoni, Mary Tyler Moore, George Segal, Alan Alda, Lily Tomlin, Josh Brolin and more.
Please bring a snack to share and help clean up after the movie. Feel free to bring a friend. Soft drinks are provided. So, come join us at 7:00 at CST on Saturday Night. Film rolls at 7:30. See you at the movies.
Shavuot
What Does God Want of Us?
We have all pondered that question at one time or another. This year we invite you to join us as Rabbi Arnie, Rabbi Aaron Starr and Rabbi Joseph Krakoff help us explore the answer to this question at our annual Tikkun Shavuot learning opportunity. This year we are proud to partner with Congregation Shaarey Zedek for this event at their synagogue, 27375 Bell Road, Southfield on Tuesday, May 14th.
A breakdown of the evening is as follows:
7:00 pm Minchah afternoon service
7:15 pm – 10:00 pm Learning sessions featuring Rabbi Arnie, Rabbi Aaron and Rabbi Krakoff
10:00 pm Shavuot Ma-ariv evening holiday service
We hope that everyone will be able to join us. If you cannot stay for the entire evening, come for the time you have. RSVPs are preferred and can be made to Karen Davis at (248) 357-5544, ext 60 or at Kdavis@shaareyzedek.org.
Yizkor
On Wednesday, May 15th we will be having a Yizkor service at CST at 7:00 pm. This is one of the four times during the year when we say these prayers. In doing so we remember the family and friends who have passed away, and we reflect on the contributions they made to our lives. If you have a loved one you would like to remember, please join us.
Diva Dinner
“A TASTE OF MICHIGAN”
Diva Dinner May 10, 2013
Honoring the memory of our beloved Diva “sister”
JOYCE BAYER
It was at our 2012-2013 pre-season dinner meeting that Joyce, unsurprisingly, knew that the official celebration of “Michigan Week” was 5-18 to 5-25, just around the corner of our scheduled May dinner date and suggested that the Diva’s serve up a pure Michigan dinner theme. We heartily agreed and, saying “Yes to Michigan”, we’ll be serving up a menu of Cherry Chicken, Michigan Salad, Wild Rice Pilaf and Spring Asparagus.
An assortment of quiches (along with the above side dishes) will be available for the vegetarian diners. We’ll also be serving up some sweet surprises produced in our Great Lakes State!
In addition, back by popular demand, this will be a “Daven before Dinner” event. Shabbat services will be at 6:15 p.m, with dinner following at 7:00 p.m. Please have your RSVP to the CST office no later than noon on Wednesday, May 8th. The cost is $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for children 6 and older, kiddies 5 and younger eat for free! As a reminder, there will be a $3.00 per person surcharge for late reservations and walk-in diners.
JOYCE,
WE LOVE YOU AND ARE MISSING YOU IN OUR KITCHEN!
