Dear Fellow Congregants,

Wow... the TBS Men's Club October Family, Friends & Fun Festival has been a huge success. Our 1st Annual Sukkah Hop was so very special. There is nothing like getting together with our friends while celebrating the natural, historical & spiritual holiday of Sukkot. Thank you sincerely to all our host families and all the hoppers for participating and making all our hard work worthwhile. Thank-you to Rabbi Nesenoff, Hebrew school principal, Cantor Carla, and Cantor Judy Merrick  for guiding us with history, song and friendship throughout this joyous occasion.

Ok... Ok... Was that Fishing Trip the BEST or what?? C'mon 54 of our Friends & Families renting out the whole Yankee3 Fishing Boat. We had the best weather... blue skies... and FISH!! There is nothing in this world like the expression on a kids face while they're reeling in a fish. Actually the parents had pretty big smiles on their faces also.

I can't thank our Congregational Families enough for participating in our events. I realize it's tough with our busy schedules to do all our activities. That is exactly why we're having something happening every weekend this month. So if you missed the first few events you'll have two more chances to get involved!

Our NEXT FUN on a SUNday October 18th EVENT... CANOEING!!! That's right... Like the ancient Jews of Egypt along the Nile River, Jews of Long Island have enjoyed the serene beauty of the North Shore's Nissequouue River. This will mark our 2nd annual Jews in Canoes River Dance. With a little luck of good weather we will see the early Autumn leaves from a view like no other. We will Meet at Paul T. Given County Park across from "The Bull" on route 25/25A in Smithtown. at 12:00 and enjoy a 2 1/2 hour journey traveled by ancient Smithtownians for hundreds of years.

Canoeing Nissequogue River October 18^th

Start at Paul T. Given County Park (across from the Smithtown Bull) - 12:00

Your 2 1/2 hour canoe or kayak trip ends at "The Bluff" in Kings Park. There will be a shuttle bus to take us back to our cars at the end of our voyage. Timing is critical when paddling down the Nissequogue River since it is an estuary. A falling tide assists you when paddling downstream toward "The Bluff" where the Nissequogue River empties into the scenic Long Island Sound.

canoes $41.50 (2-4 people) or double kayaks $51.50

(or bring your own boat and just come along)

Please invite all your friends to join us in the fun!!
