Weekly Message from the Board President
The invitations are in the mail. You may have already received yours… if not, it should be coming in the next few days. If you don’t get one, please contact the Synagogue office. They are invitations to the annual congregation meeting at Mt. Sinai. The meeting will take place on Sunday, December 15 in the Social Hall of the Synagogue.
It starts with brunch at 10 AM, because as the letter says, we like to have a little something to eat when we get together. Sisterhood will be pulling out all the stops and creating a wonderful meal… as they usually do.
Then at 11 AM, we’ll get down to business. New members of the Board of Directors will be elected. We have three open seats, and four candidates so far. Anyone who is a member in good standing can serve on the Board. You can nominate someone at the annual meeting including yourself!
The Board of Directors meets once a month via Zoom for about an hour and a half. Board members frequently serve on committees or volunteer to help with various activities, but it’s not a requirement.
The candidates (in alphabetical order) are:
Steve Borin
Dave Lerner
Courtney Schlisserman
Ben Thornell
The candidates will be invited to speak at the meeting, and share their visions for the future of Mt. Sinai, and why they should be elected to the Board.
We’ll also be reviewing the budget, and talking about other Synagogue business. If you are not a member, please feel free to come to the meeting. You can’t vote or run for the Board, but you can participate in everything else.
Usually, the annual congregation meeting takes about an hour after the brunch. We’ll see you December 15th!
Plus, you can also pick up See’s Candy while you are there. An order form is on our website, but you can also buy candy in person on Sundays after Thanksgiving, including the day of the annual congregation meeting.
A special shoutout to Napoli’s Italian Restaurant last week. They did a great job serving us during our Shalom Dinner, and gave us the entire back room of the restaurant.
The next Shalom Dinner is the big one… it’s Christmas Eve, Wednesday, December 25. We’ll all go to China Buffet for Chinese food, because eating Chinese food on Christmas Eve is apparently a Jewish tradition (we haven’t seen it in the Torah, but it may be the 614th Mitzvot).
Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:
Koved iz vi a shotn: vos mer men loyft im nokh, alts vayter antloyft er.
Respect is like a shadow: the more you run after it, the further it runs away.
Shalom,
Dave Lerner
President
Mt. Sinai Board of Directors

From Temple Emanuel: JEWISHcolorado donors have stepped forward to offer a dollar-for-dollar match up to $200,000 for donations to the Israel Emergency Fund. All emergency dollars will go to support efforts on the ground in Israel, aiding victims of terror, addressing trauma issues, and assisting with emergency medical and infrastructure needs. The match was launched by Barry and Gay Curtiss-Lusher from a shelter in a Tel Aviv Hotel and JEWISHcolorado Board Chair Ben Lusher and his wife Nicole.
