A great time was had by all. and  Dorshei Emet raised $7,100.00  to help feed the hungry throughout Montreal, with additional proceeds raised at the Saturday event at Église unitarienne de Montreal. KEHILLAH CONVERSATION #4: Money and Values  Please join us on Wednesday, May 1, 7:30 pm to help articulate the values that should guide decision making in our synagogue on matters related to money. From our membership dues to the way we serve kiddush, from the way we celebrate our simchas to the number of bulletins we publish each year - everything has implications on our finances. How can we make sure the way we spend our money reflects the values that define us? How can we uphold our values without going bankrupt? Money talk is as much about the soul of our shul as it is about the bottom line - a conversation you will not want to be left out of. See you then!
