Do you have Jewish friends or acquaintances who live in Chester County, Montgomery County and Delaware County who are not already members of a synagogue? If you do, why not invite them to one of the upcoming events at Or Shalom, for example our next Friday night dinner? They may have a good time and decide to come back. They may have such a good time that they decide to become members themselves. According to a recent survey by the Jewish Federation, there are many, many unaffiliated Jews in Chester county. We’d love to contact them, but don’t know who they are. You can help. Todah rabah! Celebrate with an Oneg Or Shalom Sisterhood is delighted to announce that you can sponsor an Oneg for any celebration you wish! Friday night and/or Saturday morning. The Sisterhood will be happy to purchase it and set it up, we only want you to join us and celebrate! Call Julie Miller at (267) 886-9171 or email Julie at [email protected] 2 September 2016 Av, 5776—Elul, 5776 From your newsletter editors Do we have your correct email address? If you have not been receiving the weekly update, we probably don’t have a correct address. Please email the office with your correct address Do we have a complete list of your Yahrzeits? We send out a reminder letter each month. If you don’t get one, we don’t have your Yahrzeit records up to date. Email the office with the name, relationship to member, and civil date including year and we will add it to our records. Dear Congregants, While we usually have a minyan during Sabbath services, there are times we miss. It is especially disheartening when we miss and someone is here to say kaddish. If you intend to celebrate a Yahrzeit, please inform Rabbi Jacob and he will make telephone calls to ensure there. It would also be helpful if you could bring members of your family or friends. Thank you Rabbi Jacob HORIZONS The President’s Column New Leadership at Or Shalom I am very pleased to announce a new slate of officers and board members at Congregation Or Shalom for the coming year. My name is Alan Messing and I will be President. I have been a member of Or Shalom for the past six years and have had involvement with several synagogues over my adult life. There is truly no business like shul business. I am new to the Or Shalom board so I will be learning from my friends here about what is working well and the issues and challenges we face. I also want to hear from you as to how we can make Or Shalom a better center of your spiritual life. I want to give a special Thank You to Stuart D. Lurie who has been an outstanding President for the past three years. He has given so much of himself and his expertise to making Or Shalom an intimate, welcoming home where we can worship, learn and have some fun. Stuart will continue to be active on the Board of Directors. We are looking forward to an exciting 5777. One big change at Or Shalom will be the combining of our Hebrew School with Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid in Broomall, PA (CBENT). This partnership will give both synagogues a larger student body to work with and give our children a broader and more in depth Jewish education. By the time you read this the details of the coming school year should be available to everyone. Keeping our Congregation moving forward and growing requires dedication and strong efforts from our members. We have a great nucleus of active participants but we can always use anyone willing to lend a hand. We all have busy lives but if we can each spend a little time working on a committee or coming to services we will have a more robust congregation and the personal fulfillment and satisfaction of performing a mitzvah. Please join me to help make coming to Or Shalom an even greater experience and please welcome our new officers and board members for the fiscal year July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017. Officers: President: Alan Messing Vice Presidents: Brenda Belkin Andy Levin Treasurer: Alan Daroff Secretary: Larry Bilker Board Members: Michael Chonoles Ellen Gross Rabbi Jacob Rosner Laurie Katz Murray Klug Stuart D. Lurie 3 Scott Markovitz Steve Meyer Barry Morrow Stella Pabon Jerry Satlow Jeff Mand September 2016 Av, 5776—Elul, 5776 Mitzvah of the Month Rabbi Jacob Rosner The combining of our Sunday school with that of CBENT brings a sense of excitement and renewal to our education program. No longer will our kids sit in classrooms with 2 or three kids. They will now have 2 education directors, 2 rabbis and the school boards of 2 synagogues sharing their expertise, learning and experience to create the best possible learning experience for our youngsters. We will continue to be independent on Tuesday assuring that we will maintain our identity as a synagogue, and that our youngsters and their parents will maintain their loyalty for Or Shalom. At the same time it is always a positive when our children are exposed to more Jewish children their own age. Hopefully many friendships will result. Many thanks are due to the synagogue presidents, the board members and others who worked many hours during numerous meetings to iron out the many issues that arose during the negotiations for the merger. The goal of creating 2 totally equal partners was met. Traditional Jews recite the shema twice daily. Each day we are reminded to teach the words of Torah to our children. I pray that the decision made will strengthen our commitment to that mitzvah. HORIZONS 4 September 2016 Av, 5776—Elul, 5776 From the Education Director Na’ama Yarden A new school year is starting soon and this time we have a big change to share with you. Here is the press release to the local newspaper: Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid and Congregation Or Shalom to Blend Sunday Religious School Programs After months of collaboration, Congregation Or Shalom in Berwyn and Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid in Broomall are pleased to announce they have created a partnership on Sunday mornings, enabling their religious school students to learn together. This exciting new collaboration between the William Sampson Religious School at Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid and the Or Shalom Religious School will be called, “Or Tamid” – The Eternal Light. The two synagogues believe this is a wonderful opportunity to create a more enriched learning environment for the students. The blending of the Sunday programs will result in larger class sizes and additional social opportunities for the students. Midweek programs will remain at the respective synagogues, operating under their existing names, in order to keep students connected to their home communities. The community is invited to the opening day of religious school on Sunday, September 11 th from 9am to 12 noon at Congregation Beth El – Ner Tamid, immediately followed by a barbecue for the entire family, complete with a moon bounce. To enroll your children or for more information, please contact Education Directors – Na’ama Yarden at [email protected] or Ellen Glassman at [email protected] Both communities are looking forward to strengthening their educational programs together and invite you to join them. “Two Are Better Than One, Because They Have A Good Reward For Their Toil” Kohelet – Ecclesiates 4:9-12 What does it mean for us? * On Tuesdays (or other midweek days) we will still have Religious school at Or shalom just for our students. * On the weekends (Saturday or Sunday) we will rotate the schools between the two congregations, every two months, starting at CBENT. * This new initiative is a trial for this year and as the year goes, we will decide if we would like to continue it after this year. * On the weekends when we have the whole joint school at Or Shalom, we will need all the rooms in the building, including the library and the Social Hall. I am asking our community to be patient and to welcome CBENT school community to our building. * As any new change, we will be working hard through out the year to make all needed adjustments. Please feel free to address us with any concern, question or idea. * If you know of any family, who is looking for a school for their kids, please let us know. Although the numbers this year will grow, thanks to the joint program, we still would love to increase our student body. I wish everyone a wonderful new school year with a successful transition to our new joint program with CBENT.
