Making a SUPER Congregational Connection

Temple Beth Shalom of Needham, MA and Larchmont Temple of Larchmont, NY have made a very friendly Super Bowl ‘reverse wager’.

If the New England Patriots win the 2012 Super Bowl, Larchmont Temple agrees to display in its front foyer one (1) appropriately colorful sign that reads: “Mazel Tov (!! מזל טוב) to the New England Patriots and Temple Beth Shalom of Needham, MA on winning the 2012 Super Bowl!!” A digital photograph of this display will be sent to Rabbi Jay Perlman for publication in the “Scroll.” This display will remain in the foyer for one (1) week.

Also, should the New England Patriots win, Temple Beth Shalom agrees to send Larchmont Temple (c/o Rabbi Jeff Sirkman) one (1) case (12 packs) of New England famous NECCO Wafers and 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies from the Chipyard in Quincy Market, Boston.

As well, Rabbi Jay Perlman and Rabbi Todd Markley agree to wear New York Giants jerseys for a day while at Beth Shalom.

If the New York Giants win the 2012 Super Bowl, Temple Beth Shalom agrees to display in its atrium one (1) appropriately colorful sign that reads: “Mazel Tov (!! מזל טוב) to the New York Giants and Larchmont Temple of Larchmont, NY on winning the 2012 Super Bowl!!” A digital photograph of this display will be sent to Rabbi Jeffrey Sirkman for publication in the Larchmont Temple Bulletin. This display will remain in the foyer for one (1) week.

Also, should the NY Giants win, Larchmont Temple agrees to send Temple Beth Shalom (c/o Rabbi Jay Perlman and Rabbi Todd Markley) one (1) crate of GUSS’ Pickles and one (1) NY famous Junior’s Cheesecake.

As well, Rabbi Jeffrey Sirkman agrees to wear a New England Patriots jersey for a day while at Larchmont Temple.

This SUPER contract has been entered into under Temple Beth Shalom and Larchmont Temple rabbinic supervision – via e-mail - in the spirit of fun and friendship.

הכל שריר וקים

With much anticipation for a phenomenal Super Bowl, all of this is valid and binding.
