Information from the President:

Dear Congregants,

October, with all the holidays, was quite busy. The next few weeks is

proving to be full of activities. The weekend of November 4/5 brings

to AA a Gilee delegation of 25 law enforcement officials charged

with protecting our homeland, Israel. Kabbalat Friday night services

followed by dinner, and Shabbat services followed by Kiddush lunch

allows us to meet and greet these officers. Please plan to attend and

RSVP for Friday night dinner.

In addition, the Rabbi search committee has begun meeting to

refocus our application to JTS to meet our present day needs.

Backpack Buddies is in full swing with big plans which include

weekly food deliveries to 4 schools with children in need and a

thanksgiving delivery of food to needing families.

Anyone can donate to this wonderful program and we encourage all

to participate with money and volunteerism.

Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Remember, we are here for you and the doors are open so please

come in.

My best to all,

Victor Shernoff

President


L’Dor Vador

L’Dor Vador. From generation to generation. It's such a simple yet powerful phrase. With generations come

stories, names, recipes, heirlooms, and tradition. I think of my own family and how my children will inherit

stories of the lives their great-grandparents led. Lives of hard-work, persecution and love. They laugh as

they recall their grandfather's favorite Hanukkah story, spout off their grandmother's words of wisdom, and

are always on the lookout for words, stories, and pictures of the past. I relish in the discussions I have with

my children after a week spent with my mother. They remind me the funny looking Sukkah decoration done

by their father when he was 5, they ask for details on stories they were told, and they ask to go do the same

things we did as a child hoping for the same great experience. That's the power of the phrase “L’Dor

Vador.”

At Shalom School, we carry this phrase not only in actions with immediate family but the family that is our

community. Our younger classes perform every year for the residents at Buckingham. They get hugs from

the residents, they listen to stories, and they share in prayer. Watching the children and the residents saying

the same Bracha (blessing) in unison is a heartwarming sight. It's so powerful. It's so beautiful.

Communities around the world have been doing the same thing for thousands of years. Around this same

time of year (Purim), our students get the opportunity to make Hamentaschen with women of both

congregations’ Sisterhood. They learn the recipes, roll the dough and cut circles before filling and folding

the cookie. Inevitably, some women will tell the children how they use to bake once the same Hamentaschen

with their children and how today they keep doing so with their grandchildren. Students learning with

someone they might not recognize is an opportunity to build a new relationship but more importantly, it

makes the child realize that they are part of a bigger picture. It has become a tradition at Shalom School to

hold an annual Grandparents and Special Friends Breakfast. The day of the event, the students are hosting

and entertaining their guests. The students cheerfully sing and perform, but not before taking their 'orders',

filling plates and serving their guests. This is another powerful thing to watch. Not only do we see the

younger generation attending to the older one, but we see the students take such pride in doing so. They

beam when they sing their songs in Hebrew, as they recite a prayer, and show off all of their knowledge

from the year. Watching the younger generation interacting with the older generation with such enthusiasm

is so fulfilling for all of our staff, parents and guests, and another expression of L’Dor Vador .

This school year, we have many activities on our calendar. We are so grateful to have new and familiar

faces to teach, engage and inspire as we educate a new generation. As Josh Nelson words it in his song:

We are carriers of wisdom, not the first and not the last.

Eva Locker,

Principal

Updating Aliyah Cards

We are in the process of updating the Aliyah Cards that we use when calling you to the

Bima.

We need the following listing for you:

Please provide us with your name so we can update or correct the listing. We are listing

the names in transliterated English.

Traditionally, names were listed with the father’s name:

Avram ben (son of) David or Sarah bat (daughter of) Mordechai.

It is also proper to list the name with both parents, such as:

Avram ben David v’(and) Leah or Sarah Bat Mordechai v’ Esther.

Finally, if your father was a Cohen or a Levi, you add this to the end of your name, such

as:

Avram ben David haCohen v’ Leah or Sarah Bat Mordechai haLevi v’ Esther.

My name is:________________________________________________________
