Weekly Message from the Board President

Looks like we have to start over.  The Board of Directors made an offer to Rabbi Arthur Stern to become our new religious leader and he declined.  It wasn’t because of us or the job.  He spoke very highly of the congregation and Cheyenne, and the time he spent with us.  Rabbi Stern has decided not to accept any new pulpit position and instead will move to Florida to be closer to his family.  He said that while he may pick up some work here or there, his primary goal is to be close to his family.

So we’re starting over with our search.  The search committee met on Sunday.  They reviewed our other applicants and decided to ask for a meeting with the Board of Directors before proceeding further.  The committee would like guidance from the Board on the search.  That meeting has been scheduled for this Wednesday. 

Our Board meetings are held via Zoom.  If you would like to attend, please let us know and we’ll send you the link.

The See’s Candy Sale is up and running.  Now is the time to order, because prices are discounted right now.  That will change after Wednesday, but we should tell you that Sisterhood’s prices are pretty good even after the deadline.  You can order from our website (look for the link on the left side of the page) or by clicking here:

You can pay for your candy and pick it up after Thanksgiving.  The exact dates and hours are on the form on the website.

This is also the time of year when people do a lot of cooking… whether it’s for Thanksgiving, Hanukah, holiday parties, or just a very nice dinner.  Looking for something new?  Check out the Mt. Sinai Cookbooks.  They are filled with recipes from our own master chefs. You’ll get a taste of traditional Jewish recipes with a Cheyenne twist.  The cookbooks are $25, and are also available through our website:

By the way, we’re going to move up our next Shalom Dinner so we don’t interfere with Thanksgiving.  Let’s meet on Wednesday, November 12, at 6:30 PM at the Spice Zone Indian Restaurant, at 600 West 19^th Street.  We’ve eaten there before and had a very good experience.

Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:

Kleyne ganovim hengt men, groyse shenkt men.  
Petty thieves are hanged, big ones are pardoned.

Shalom,

Dave Lerner
President
Mt. Sinai Board of Directors
