From the Pulpit

As I write this aricle, I wishI could say that this year’s AnnualGiving Campaign was a completesuccess.But,asofDecember1stweweresill$12,000awayfromourgoalof raising $150,000. However, let’sfocusontheposiives.Wehavehad82 new donors (on top of the 100we had last year). We successfullymaxed out our generous matchesprovided by 4 families. And, thosewhohavegivenfor2yearsincreasedtheir gits by 18.8%. In three years,we have moved from a mishmashof campaigns into one focusedcampaign that is raising twice theamount of criical funds. What wedomaters - thisCampaign touchesallcongregants–boththedonorandtherecipientsofthosegits.Whatwedomaters–butsomeimeswegetbusy,wegetdistractedandweforgetthat tzedakahneeds to–no shouldbe – incorporated in everythingwedo. Aswe know, tzedakah normallyis translated as jusice. But I likehow Rabbi Greenstein translates it– balance. We balance the scalesbetweenthosethatareabletogiveand those that, at this ime, don’thavesuchmeans.Somedaythescalescould be reversed. As a giver, ourfamilywantsthecomfortofknowingthatourcongregaionisthereTODAYand TOMMORROW to support myfamilyshouldweneeditsomeday. Every git will make adiference...we need you Today,please. So join us by making a gitto help your CNS community staystrong!

The Occupaion As I write this aricle, the Occupymovementthathasspreadaroundtheglobeissillmarchingthroughthestreets.However,bytheimethisChroniclereachesyourcofeetableor smartphone, I will be curious to see whatstrength is let of the naional/internaionalprotest when the snow arrives.

Kvell With Us


R e f u a h S h l e m aA speedy recovery to:

In this secion, we wish a speedy recovery to those members who are ill or having surgery. Since the Chronicle is published only six imes per year, we are moving the “Refuah Shelma” list to our weekly eBlast, in order to keep our news relevant and up-to-date.

Remember, the mi-sheberach (the prayer for healing) is recited at morning services following the Torah reading. If you would like to submit a name for this prayer, you may call the oice at 503.246.8831.

When a Death occurs

if you wish Tahara for your loved one--respectful preparation for burial according

to ancient Jewish tradition--you may request it from holman’s Funeral home,

503. 232.5131, or the funeral home of your choice. The funeral home will then

notify the Chevra.

To honor ThEir

mEmory…

one of the noblest Jewish

traditions is the preservation of

the name of a loved one on the

Memorial Board in the Synagogue

Sanctuary and the lighting of a

memorial light on the anniversary

of death. This is an eternal

reminder of our dear departed

one and the love and respect their

memory evokes.

At Neveh Shalom, we have two

beautiful Memorial Boards, which

serve two functions. A large

plaque is placed in the Sanctuary

for the entire year of mourning

and for every Yahrzeit. Another

smaller plaque is permanently

maintained in the Memorial

Niche. The cost for this set of

plaques is $800. Please phone
