We wanted to share with you exciting changes that are taking place in the Arzei Darom Youth Committee. Sabrina Bernath and Sharon Darack are the new co-chairs of the youth committee. They are both looking forward to taking on this fun challenge and wanted to thank Valerie Levin, Jonny Shore and Ali Blech for the time and effort that they put in to developing these programs and activities for the children of Arzei Darom. The Youth Committee has already put together a tentative youth calendar which we hope to get out to the kehilla soon. The calendar lists many new programs and popular old ones that will be scheduled for this coming year. Additionally over the summer the youth committee has been busy interviewing new youth directors. We are excited to introduce Ilan Davidovics as our new youth director to our community. Ilan will be starting this shabbos so please take a moment to welcome him and introduce yourself. If you would like to join the great group of shul members who have already signed up to be involved, who we thank in advance, we encourage you to contact either Sabrina at maotrl@aol.com or Sharon at coachsharon@gmail.com. No level of involvement is too small. We look forward to an exciting year!
Logan, Cody, and Mackenzie Wagh invite all children ages 0-5 to attend Tot Shabbat at their house, 34 Brinkerhoff Ave. Please join them for fun shabbat songs and games and light refreshments.

We are once again putting our Yizkor Book together. This year Moshe Blech and Stacey Katzwer will be reaching out to those who have included names in the past under the assumption that you will be keeping them this year as well. Please make sure to respond to them if you do NOT want the names in the Yizkor Book this year. If you would like to add names to the Yizkor Book, please contact Moshe at mblech@deloitte.com or Stacey at Skawtzwer29@gmail.com. The deadline for entries is Wednesday, Sept 12. We have kept the pricing the same as last year:
Bnei Akiva We are currently looking for a family to host two wonderful bnot sherut leumi who will be working for Ben Porat Yosef and Bnei Akiva during the 2012-2013 academic year. If we do not find a host family in the Snif Chadash area (south of Route 4), we may be unable to continue our Bnei Akiva groups this coming year. If you are interested, please contact Pam Scheininger at pscheininger@hotmail.com to discuss as soon as possible.
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 or Mark Levine so that we can keep track of where our seforim are. Thank you.
Bikur Cholim Volunteers Arzei Darom is looking for bikur cholim volunteers to visit the patients at CareOne and Holy Name Medical Center 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. Care One at Teaneck is seeking Shabbos host families to provide hospitality for our patients' relatives. When illness or post surgery rehabilitation at our facility requires a patient’s stay over Shabbos, we often receive requests for accommodations for a spouse, adult child, friend, or other family member. We gladly provide on site RCBC supervised meals, a beautiful Shul and most other requirements. However, when our facility is full, we try to arrange nearby off-site accommodations for sleeping. As a token of our appreciation, we will gladly provide delicious Shabbos meals for the host family, as well. To pre-register as a Shabbos host, please contact Laurie Kleid at 201-287-8560.
Having a party? Need space for a simcha? Know someone who is? Arzei Darom's social is available for rent at reasonable prices. Please send an email to hallrental@arzeidarom.org for further information.
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.
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. September: Grunstein, Hollander, Horn, Hyman, Katz For more information on anything Kiddush related, please contact Holly Weiss at kiddush@arzeidarom.org.
