Thank
You!
 Thank you to everyone who created and participated in our
first annual Karaoke Purim. It was a smashing evening - Lerner and
Loewe have nothing on us! Thank you to Lisa Trank, Jack Greene and
Amitai Gross for creating the musical extravaganza, and thank you to
all the spur-of-the-moment stars who performed. And thanks to the
Circle of Family Education families who baked Hamentashen for our
noshing.
Congratulations to proud parents Tamar Ares and Kyle Williams on the
naming of their daughter, Jasmine Orit Ares Williams.
Thank you to Aunt Ariella and Aunt Deborah who made donations in honor
of Jasmine Orit.
We are still glowing from Esther's Feast. If you were not able to
attend this festive event, there is still time to get your donations in
at www.pardeslevavot.org/donate.html.
This week is your last chance to write a tribute for inclusion in the
Tribute Book we are
giving to Rabbi Nadya and Rabbi Victor. Send your tribute to our Rabbis
to Lisa Trank at ltrank@comcast.net.

One of the most influential rabbis of the 20th century, Abraham Joshua
Heschel may be best known for marching with Martin Luther King - the
subject of Menorah's January program, which left many who attended
longing to learn more. Indeed, there's much more to Heschel than social
activism. Come learn more about this great scholar, theologian, writer
and teacher from one of his students, Rabbi Victor Gross. Rabbi Victor
Gross was a student of Professor Heschel in the late 60's and had a
personal relationship with him and his family and paid a partial debt
to his influence by writing his Ph.D. on him.
Shabbat Dinner for 8
Let's make Motzi in one
another's homes. What better way to share Shabbat and build
community? Members of Pardes Levavot will be opening their homes,
sharing a Sabbath meal and getting better aquainted. Save the date,
Friday March 16th! Please fill in the registration form and return
forms by Friday, March 9 to Melissa Klein melissa_klein@comcast.net.

ALEPH's Kallah Brochure
is now on the web!
Friends, I can't tell you how
excited I am about this upcoming Kallah. Every year the class proposals
are more impressive, and this year is no exception. That means that
your study options will be wide and deep. You will see that at this
Kallah we paid special attention to providing a broad range of
intermediate and advanced level courses for all of you life long
learners. We already have some amazing evening programs planned, not to
mention our "Rebbe is In" sessions and davenning offerings. And the
workshop track! Oh my goodness-what a rich selection. You can see it
all (except the workshop offerings-they are not yet final) and get your
Kallah questions answered about fees, etc. at: www.aleph.org/kallah.html.
