Shavuot Celebration at Diamond Creek

Leave a comment

14129b0ba4ef80a7d436021134ab3a1e5ea05491-x425-2Congregation Beth Shalom‘s annual celebration of Shavuot will be at Diamond Creek Vineyards in Calistoga thanks to the generosity of Boots Brounstein.

Join Congregation Beth Shalom and Congregation B’nai Israel for this spectacular day.

Sunday, May 24th, beginning at 10:30 am Swimming, “schmoozing” etc. will end at 3:30pm

Services will take place at 11 am with Rabbi Lee Bycel, CBS, and Rabbi David White with music led by CBS Music Director, Gordon Lustig

Shorashim (children 4 and under with their parents) will celebrate in an area with leader Mimi Greisman

It’s a day spent in beauty with a lake (and paddleboats), swimming pool, trees, vineyards, waterfalls, and sunshine (we hope) in abundance.

Plan to bring a picnic including beverages, towels, folding beach chairs, and bathing suits.

Go north on Highway 29 past St. Helena. Turn left on Diamond Mt. Road (one block past Dunaweal Lane). Proceed to 1500 Diamond Mt. Road, where you will see the first of many signs directing you to the lake at Diamond Creek Vineyards which is farther up the road and around the hill to the right. Note: if you get to the stop sign on Highway 29, turn around and go back to Diamond Mt. Road.

We are saddened by the loss of Jack Siadek this morning.

Funeral Services will be at Congregation Beth Sholom Wednesday November 4th at 2:30pm.

Jack was such a greater fighter (he kept getting knocked but always got back onto his feet) and a great all around person. I know our family will miss him.
