Online Trivia and scrabble competition

We all know Rabbi Seidel loves word games and has a competitive streak.

The game will be narrated by
Stefan Fatsis (Scrabble coach, reporter, and author of “Word Freak”) and you’ll have a chance to put your support behind Team Seidel or Team Julius!

Virtual juggling lesson with rabbi seidel
2:00 pm
All rabbis juggle text study, pastoral care, and prayer – but Rabbi Seidel may be the only rabbi who actually juggles! Have you ever wondered how Rabbi Seidel manages to keep those juggling pins in the air? Now’s your chance to find out! You can grab three balls of the same size (e.g., 3 tennis balls) or – for a better juggling experience (and only $5*) – we can order and deliver balls directly to your home.
*Get them fast! There is a limited supply of no-bounce juggling balls available.

Rabbi Seidel Appreciation Drive-by
3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
COVID-19 may require that we keep a physical distance from one another, but we can still drive, bike, or walk by the Seidels house and wave. This is will be a fun way to show the Rabbi and Rachel how much we love them and appreciate all they’ve done for our community.
Feel free to bring a sign or hang one out your car window. Make your own sign or click here for some TI signs to color and decorate.
No registration required.
If driving, please drive up Juniper Street and make a right on Morningside so we don’t cause a traffic jam. If you are biking or walking, please remember to keep a safe distance from one another and from the Seidels. Don't forget to wear a mask!
