As we continue to grow as a shul and a community, there are many ways to contribute to our ongoing activities. Below is a (incomplete) list of committees and events for which additional help can make a difference.
We are in the process of setting times for our onegs during the fall and winter. This year we hope to have four onegs and are again looking for sponsors. We have two levels of sponsorship: Single Oneg Sponsor - $45 Season Sponsor - $150 If you would like to become a sponsor of this terrific mix of Torah and social activity, or if you would like to help organize the onegs, please contact Howard Alt at howard.m.alt@gmail.com.
We will be having our next Simcha Kiddush celebrating birthdays and anniversaries in the months of July through September on October 10th. If you are interested in participating please email the name(s) and date(s) of the simcha to Holly Weiss at holly.ohrenweiss1@gmail.com. The cost to participate is $25/name and all participants will be recognized in the weekly announcements. Thanks in advance for your participation. As a community, we offer assistance to families with new babies, families sitting shiva, and families who need a little help for various reasons, such as a medical emergency. Sometimes the need for help is time sensitive and urgent. To aid in timely communication an Arzei Darom First Responders group in WhatsApp is being formed. WhatsApp communications will not replace blasts sent through the announcement system and will only be used when a rapid response is required. If you feel you can help as an Arzei First Responder, please email your cell phone number to Adrianne Mittan at agemittan@gmail.com and install the WhatsApp app on your smartphone.
Mommy & Me continues to meet every other Shabbat at 10:30 am. The next Mommy and Me will be Shabbat, Oct 17 in the right side classroom. Please contact Shira Silverberg at shirasilverberg@gmail.com if you are interested in leading a session. PoKiZman Club meets every Shabbat at 10:15 am. Please remind your children to be prepared to participate in davening. Regular Groups for children in 3rd grade and up continue to meet at 9:45 am with davening starting at 10:00 am. Children who participate in davening and other activities, as well as help with setting up and clean-up will earn tickets towards prizes. Please contact us at youth@arzeidarom.org for more information about these programs.
The Kiddush Committee is looking for volunteers to make cholent for our Crockpot Challenge which we try to do around Rosh Chodesh. If you are interested in making cholent for the shul please contact Holly Weiss at holly.ohrenweiss1@gmail.com for details.
We are pleased to announce this year's annual dinner honorees. This year we will be honoring Rabbi and Rabbanit Ciment for all of the great work and spiritual leadership that they have provided to us. Please be on the lookout for more information coming out soon.
Our third cycle of our kiddush cooperative is underway. Through the contributions of $200 from about 20 families, 7-8 additional hot kiddushim per year are added. This is an excellent way to sponsor kiddush at a very reasonable price. While we typically order from our local vendors, we welcome feedback from Kiddush Cooperative members on what types of menus they would like to see. Thank you to the following families who have joined this year's Kiddush Cooperative: Adams, Alt, Barber, Barta, Blass, Blum, Borodach,Davidowitz, Distenfeld, Einhorn, Eisenman, Knoll, Levin, Mittan, Rabitz, Rivkin, Rothstein, Rose and Anonymous families for your season sponsorship. We still welcome families to join the Kiddush Cooperative. The more families we have, the more hot kiddushes we can enjoy throughout the year. It is not too late to join! Please email Holly Weiss at holly.ohrenweiss1@gmail.com to add your name to the Kiddush Cooperative.
Families interested in sponsoring a kiddush and/or seudat shlishit should contact Holly so that she can reserve the date on the shul calendar. Please also let Holly know if you would like to participate in an upcoming Crock Pot Challenge which generally takes place around Rosh Chodesh. We've been doing these for a year and are always seeking new families to take the challenge. Kiddush clean up is on a rotating basis, based on your last name. While we recognize that everyone in your group may not be available each Shabbat, we ask that you pitch in if you are assigned in that month so that the same people are not doing the clean-up each week. We all like kiddushes and we all make plans for lunch after shul so please be respectful of your fellow congregants by helping out during your assigned month if you are in shul. We also ask that you please watch your children during Kiddush to the extent possible, and to place their finished items in the garbage cans provided. October: Brodsky, Darack, Furer, Goldgewert, Goldstein For more information on anything Kiddush related, please contact Holly Weiss at kiddush@arzeidarom.org.
Upcoming Yartzeit? Having a simcha? Do you know of a visiting Ba'al Tefilah? Please email our gabbai Dr. David Blass for all of your davening/leining related issues at rituals@arzeidarom.org.
Coming soon, please join Rabbi Ciment as he leads Arzei Darom in a new year of learning, Shabbat mornings starting at 8:15 am. We will be learning Masechet Sanhedrin. All are encouraged and welcome to attend. Rabbi Ciment's Sunday morning shiur at 7:50 am & weekly shiur on Wednesdays will start again in another week. We are always looking for opportunities to strengthen our connection to Torah. The more Torah in the shul, the better, so let us know if you have any other suggestions. A number of Hebrew and English seforim are missing from our library. If you have any of them, please return them so that other members will have the ability to use them as well. If you are currently using one of the seforim, and need to continue to use it, please contact Rebecca Segal so that we can keep track of where our seforim are. Thank you.
As a community, we offer assistance with meals to families with new babies, families sitting shiva, and families who need a little help for various reasons, such as a medical emergency. If you are interested in volunteering to help make meals in the future, please contact Adrianne Mittan at agemittan@gmail.com. And if you are in need of our assistance, whether it is for good news or less fortunate news, you can contact Adrianne directly, or speak to Rabbi and Rabbanit Ciment, or Yosef Rothstein.
Bikur Cholim List If you know of someone who would like to be put on the bikur cholim list, please email the name of the person (English and Hebrew w/ Mother's name), and whether or not they are accepting visitors (if so, please include location) or phone calls (if so, please include phone #) and any other details which the person is interested in sharing with the community. The email address is bikurcholim@arzeidarom.org. Bikur Cholim Volunteers Arzei Darom is looking for bikur cholim volunteers to visit the patients at CareOne on Shabbat. For those who have volunteered in the past, the visits are gratefully appreciated. Please volunteer and encourage your children to join you for this great mitzvah. Please e-mail Susan Taubes at bikurcholim@arzeidarom.org, so she can add your name to the rotation list and we can have an organized schedule each Shabbat.
Having a party? Need space for a simcha? Know someone who is? Arzei Darom's social hall is available for rent at reasonable prices. Please send an email to hallrental@arzeidarom.org for further information. In addition, if you are having a simcha, e.g. a bar or bat mitzvah, you can reserve a shabbat by contacting Valerie Levin or Yosef Rothstein, and asking to have your simcha added to the Arzei Darom calendar. Questions when planning your simcha? Speak to Yosef Rothstein, Miles Levin (Gabbai Rishon) or Valerie Levin.
PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK the doorways or the walkway leading to the doors to the shul with your baby carriage. We understand that if it is raining or snowing you do not want your carriage to get wet, but this is a safety issue. The doorways MUST NOT BE BLOCKED AT ANY TIME. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
As you have probably noticed when glancing at the northern wall of our sanctuary, we have a beautiful and meaningful Yahrzeit Memorial Board. Purchasing a memorial plaque is a wonderful way to honor the memory of a loved one. Whether it be a parent, grandparent, sibling, other relative or friend, a memorial plaque provides comfort and is a lasting tribute to those we have lost. Each individual plaque has its own light that will be illuminated on the Shabbat before the yahrzeit and on all holidays when Yizkor is recited. The plaque includes the name and date of death in both English and Hebrew. The price of plaques remains at:
The order form is available on the shul website at: Yahrzeit Form.
A Sefer Or A Volume Of Shas A wonderful way to commemorate an anniversary, honor a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, a significant birthday, marriage, or birth, or in memory of a loved one, is to dedicate a sefer. In addition to the label that is placed in the volume, an acknowledgement card is mailed out.
