High Holiday Motto
“Don’t Pay to Pray”
“Don’t Pay to Pray” was the
motto of Chabad of Sarasota’s
promotion and invitation
for all members of the
community to join the High
Holiday services without

Excited to share the message,
her Jewish pride, and
contribute goodwill, Stefanie
Warrenbrand had the design
printed on magnets for her
car. Chabad is grateful for
Stefanie’s enthusiasm, which
rubbed off on Rabbi Chaim
Steinmetz,
who
printed
additional magnets for his,
Sara’s and Kelly Dietz’s car as
well.

Happy Birthday
Your Jewish Birthday Matters!
Below you will find listed our members’ Hebrew birthdays and the corresponding English
dates upon which they fall this year. The Talmud tells us that on your birthday your Mazel
(good fortune) is dominant. Your Hebrew birthday is the perfect day for reflection about your
life as a Jew, and about the good deed you’d like to resolve to perform. It’s a day to celebrate
your Jewish identity and celebrate with people who are close to you. At the celebration, say
a prayer of thanks to G-d, resolve to give Tzedakah, and help someone in need. Put your
Mazel to work, and make your Jewish birthday matter.

Youth Update
Weinstein Religious School Update
“Fun and exciting” would describe how
the students at the Weinstein Religious
School (WRS) have learned about the
High Holidays. In the sessions prior
to the holidays the students enjoyed an
array of activities that set the tone for
the holiday and taught students of the
varying customs, laws and traditions.
Eating apple sandwiches, making round
Challahs and honey plates, sending out
New Year eCards, races, discussions and
songs, enhanced the learning experience.
The energy of the volunteering Teen
Madrichim: Evan Glazer, Mendi
Vardon and Farah Vardon certainly
assisted the teachers in making a
positive impact upon the students. The
holiday junior congregation led by Sara
Steinmetz, along with volunteering
teens and parents, included a
Mitzvah auction where prizes
were awarded for youngsters who
undertook a resolution in honor
of the new year.
c Upcoming WRS Events:
• October 3 at 4:30pm – Sushi in the Sukkah & Rock Climbing WRS students attend free.
• October 5 at 7:30pm – CKids Junior Congregation
• November 2 at 6:00pm – WRS school wide Shabbat dinner
TGIS - Teen Shabbat Dinner
TGIS – Thank Goodness It’s
Shabbos is a once a month
program for teens who will
join together for a Shabbat
dinner and discuss the Torah
perspective on current events
or hot topic subjects. TGIS is
targeted for teens in grades 9-12.
Prior to each dinner, registered
teens will receive an email with
a web link revealing the topic
of discussion for the Shabbat
dinner. After the hot topic is
fully discussed and debated
among the teens, Rabbi Chaim
Steinmetz converses with the
teens about Judaic views on
the subject, interjecting Jewish
values and morals. October
12th marks the first of six TGIS
dinners. To register your teen,
please call the office 925-0770.
CKids Holiday Celebration
Children
in
kindergarten
through grade 6 are welcome
to participate in a lively CKids
Sukkot holiday celebration held
on Friday, October 5 at 7:30pm
which will include Shabbat &
holiday songs, prayers, stories
and games followed by a
children’s Junior Oneg. Eating
an edible Sukkah and Torah
will be fun and add holiday
excitement. This program is
offered free of charge and is
sponsored by Marc and Allison
(Opal) Levine in honor of
Spencer’s birthday.
Kaplan Preschool Update
As the students have all
transitioned to the new school
year, there is a happy hum at the
Kaplan Preschool. Children are
playing and actively engaging
in learning as they expand their
verbal, social and fine motor
skills and gain mathematical
and phonological awareness.
The VPK (Voluntary Pre-K)
program offered at the Kaplan
Preschool provides a state
subsidy to parents who enroll
their four-year-old child at
the Kaplan Preschool, and
we currently have four spots
available. We thank Gittel
