Weekly Message from the Board President

 

This is going to be a very special Christmas for the Taylor Robinson family.  Taylor’s twin sons turn 6 years old on Christmas Eve.  That’s also the day of our big Shalom Dinner.  We’ll be meeting at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, December 24, at China Buffet on Dell Range Blvd.  We’ll understand if Taylor and her family don’t make it… but if they do, we’ll all sing Happy Birthday for two reasons.

First, we want to help Taylor’s sons celebrate their birthdays.  And second, we’ll want to see the expressions of the other diners when they see a group of Jewish people singing Happy Birthday on Christmas Eve.

The Shalom Dinners are open to everyone – just come and enjoy!  Everyone pays their own way and we just get together and enjoy each other’s company (and maybe singing voices…)  See you 6:30 PM on Christmas Eve at China Buffet.

We have a big thank you to give to Doralee Halperin and her husband Jeff.  They dropped off ten boxes of books to donate to our Mt. Sinai Library.  The books come from Doralee’s late brother Ray, who lived in Cody and enjoyed reading books about Judaism.  Ray was an avid reader and had collected thousands of books on various subjects.  Here’s more information about him:  https://www.codyenterprise.com/news/obituaries/article_f4552b26-3469-11ed-becf-ff63cc3473d5.html

The books about Judaism were donated to Mt. Sinai.  We are very appreciative of the donation and will be adding them to our collection.

Did you know we have the largest collection of books relating to Judaism in the front range?  Our library began with books donated by Dorothy Feldman and were from her late husband’s collection.  But thousands of other books have been donated over the years, and our library is very impressive.

The See’s Candy Sale is in full swing.  Lots of people came by to pick up candy on Sunday, but we still have plenty of boxes left.  You can order on our website, or come to the Synagogue next Sunday between 10 AM and 4 PM.  If you order on our website, your order will be waiting for you to pick up.  You can also just come to the Synagogue and shop – the selection is pretty broad.  The Synagogue is open Sundays from 10 to 4 until Christmas.

We also want to give a shout out to Rick Padilla.  He came to the Synagogue on Monday and opened the doors so a plumber could get in and fix a leak in the basement.  We appreciate him giving up his time and hanging out while the plumber did his work.

Quick reminder – brunch and the annual Synagogue Congregation meeting are coming up on Sunday, December 15.  Come to the Synagogue and eat brunch at 10 (thank you, Sisterhood!) and then stay for the annual meeting.  We’ll be electing new members of the Board of Directors, showing you the budget for next year, and discussing other Synagogue business.  The brunch is at 10, the meeting starts at 11.

Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:

A noged hot faynt koved vi a kats smetene.               
A rich man hates honors like a cat hates cream.   

Shalom,

Dave Lerner
President
Mt. Sinai Board of Directors
