| | | | We are blessed to be hosting Rabbi Shlomo Riskin this Shabbat in our community. He is one of the leading Torah personalities in our generation. His leadership, wisdom and dynamism shape world Jewry. From New York City to Efrat, he consistently exudes a courageous and passionate approach to his life mission. I look forward to seeing you on Shabbat at all of his presentations. It will surely be an inspiring and memorable Shabbat.
Mezuzah Campaign: We often do not think of Pesach and Mezuzah together, yet this mitzvah originated through the courageous act of the Jewish people on the eve of the Exodus. In this spirit, I would like your support in joining the CAS Mezuzah Campaign team in the weeks prior to Pesach. The goal will be education and increase observance of this mitzvah. Please join me at kiddush this Shabbat for an informal conversation about how you can be part of this special initiative.
Thank you in advance and Shabbat Shalom to you and your families.

| | | CAS Monday night Bingo needs some more volunteers (especially callers) in order to continue our efforts to raise money for special projects. In the past, we've donated new carpeting, warmers for the kitchens and a new dairy refrigerator, among other items in use today.
This a "fun-draising" project that only involves your volunteering without costing you anything but a few hours of your time. We're very flexible with hours and there are all kinds of "jobs." Be it clerical, selling or especially calling, the only requisite is that you like people and have a warm, friendly disposition. We will train you and we need you more than Uncle Sam does!
For further info, contact Roz Mangot at roz@cas-stamford.org, and thanks in advance! |
