Weekly Message from our Board President

We’re not done yet!  Two weeks ago, we held another very successful Yiddish Food Festival.  Hundreds of people came to the Synagogue to enjoy our food, music, dancing, and learn about our Synagogue and Judaism.  Here’s what it looked like.

Then yesterday, the Mt. Sinai Endowment Fund held its second annual concert, featuring Jalan Crossland and Sally and George.  We had a great turnout and raised money for the Endowment Fund.  At one point, Warrie Means joined daughter Shelby and her husband Joel onstage.  Shelby and Joel are “Sally and George.”  Then at the end of the show, Jalan Crossland and Sally and George performed together. That was a real treat.  Here’s a shot of Jalan Crossland with “Sally and George.”

Thanks to Dr. Jason Bloomberg for the pictures.

But wait, there’s more!  The Israeli Scouts will be coming back to Mt. Sinai on Tuesday, July 2^nd, for a special performance.  It will start at 6:30 in the Social Hall.  The Rabbi has more details in his column.

And then two days later, on July 4^th, we’ll have our annual summer picnic in the back yard of the Synagogue.

 It’s been a great spring and summer so far.  There’s lots to do at Mt. Sinai, and its all fun – music, dancing, food, and great company.  Wow!

Here’s our Yiddish Phrase of the Week:

Der ponem zogt ois dem sod.
The face tells the secret.

Shalom!

Rabbi’s Column

One of the reasons (besides very hectic schedules) for the recent lack of articles has been the tag team computer power cord problems plaguing the computers that we use here. One of them is the work computer; the other one is the family computer. For the work computer a replacement power cord did the trick. For the family computer, the replacement power cord did not resolve the issue. Fortunately, the speed at which programs can be loaded in, and the intelligence level of the individual computer (as in recognizing a very old mouse without having to put in the disk first) has improved drastically so the transition is much less painful.

The Israeli Scout group has performed for us in the past. This was usually upon our request, and they did us a favor by including Cheyenne in their route. We paid the requested amount for this favor, all of it due by sometime in May. This year, we are doing them a favor by eliminating hotel fees for two nights as they travel between two major areas in nearby states. In return for that favor, at no extra charge, they will put on a performance two days before the annual picnic (I am being deliberately vague for security reasons) in the evening [probably about 6].

On the near horizon we have the annual Jim McKinnon Food Drive for COMEA – I will get a list of what is requested before it starts in mid-July.

On the far horizon we have the beginning of Religious School in September and the High Holidays beginning at the end of that month.

May this next week be personally busy but not painfully so.
