SHABBAT SHOLOM HOSPITAL PACKAGES ARE SPONSORED BY: the Linda Beson Nursing Education Fund.

AROUND THE SHABBAT TABLE: The Shabbat meal is a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our families, community and connection to G-d. The Around the Shabbat Table Campaign encourages each family to include three elements at their meal:

1) Share the Torah Insight

2) Sing a Jewish Song

3) Refrain from Gossip-Celelebrate Positive Speech

Suggested Torah topic for your Shabbat table:

The Midrash offers a parable to describe Amalek's attack on the Jews: "All the nations were afraid to make war on the Jewish people and then Amalek came & began to point the way. A parable-it may be compared to a boiling hot bath into which no living creature could descend. Someone came & jumped into it. Although he scalded himself, he cooled it off, & made it appear cold to others." How do cynics often "cool off" the enthusiasm felt by others?

CAS is looking to upgrade our office computer systems.
Why is this important?
¨ Some of the machines are more than 7 years old.
¨ None of them can run the updated version of our synagogue database (called ChaverWare)
Ideally, we would like to obtain 7 identical PC's, either by buying them new or by accepting donated PC's if they are available. The minimum requirements are dual 64 cpu's, 2ghz or better, 2gb RAM & 80gb hard drives. We already have 4 up-to-date flatscreen monitors, so new monitors are not a priority. We have been quoted roughly $625 per machine not inc luding setup and software costs.

Please contact Joseph Rubbak in the shul office 203 358-2200 or jrubbak@agudathsholom.org
