Special Guest: Luise Kaish, Sculptor of our Ark

Put this date on your calendar and plan to attend services in our Sanctuary when Luise Kaish, sculptor of our Ark, will be the honored guest. The Rabbi Philip S. Bernstein Society is proud to be bringing Mrs. Kaish back to TBK and to give the congregation the privilege of hearing about the genesis of the commission and the process of creating the Ark.

In conjunction with her presence at the Bernstein Shabbat service there will be an exhibition of photographs of the creation of the Ark, From Maquette to Monument. These photos were exhibited last year at the Century Association in New York City where Mrs. Kaish resides with her husband Morton.

The next date that childcare is available is on Friday September 10 for the Shabbat Service at 6:00 pm. Babysitting is located in Room 109. The program is staffed by adult caregivers and is open for children between infant and seven years of age. Snacks and activities are provided. There is no charge to families for this service. (Children must be picked up directly after the conclusion of the service.)

Reservations are a must, as space is limited. To reserve space for your child call Linda McCullough, sitter-coordinator, no later than noon on the Friday of the service. Please also call Linda if you need to cancel the reservation. You can reach Linda at 461-0015 or 733-1749.
