JEWISH HUMOR: 

This was a hard week at work, and I needed to work at home each night.  So, I sat down at midnight last night to write a message, worked on it for about half an hour, and then decided I didn't like it.  So.  I hope you all had a good Fourth of July, and on Saturday, we are going to talk about the Hebrew word "nes," which we always think of as "miracle."  But take a look at Numbers 21:9, where the word is used for a flagstaff, or standard.  It means other things, too.  How it became a miracle, that's something we can talk about. SIMON ROSENBACH

Ahavas Sholom Jewish Education Fund ANNOUNCEMENT:

 

There has been an application for the scholarship fund from a family who wishes to send their child to Solomon Schechter. Thanks to those who sent us their donations, the child is already registered , but we still have a  deadline of August 1 to begin making the remaining payments. Also, we are pleased to announce that we have another formal applicant to the Jewish Education Fund, so we still need your support.

 

Because Congregation Ahavas Sholom does not have its own religious  school, parents are forced to consider day schools and religious  schools at other synagogues. To help defray the cost of religious  education, the synagogue has set up a fund to provide a scholarship.

 

If you would like to contribute to the fund, please send a check to  the synagogue payable to Ahavas Sholom with the memo line "education  fund" and be mindful of the deadlines faced by the applicant.

THANK YOU.

We need volunteers to shop for Kiddush.

If you are interested please speak with Jeff, Dubby or Susan. Thank you!

Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that we have another formal applicant to the Jewish Education Fund.

A formal meeting and/or conference call may be advantageous. Eric Freedman, President
