Weeds do not wait.... This Sunday, join Meredith Cohen, Jim Benjamin and the Chesed Committee at 11:15 to offer a hand for our "Harvest Now Garden" to benefit the Lower Fairfield County Food Bank to provide fresh produce for those in need.
Or ... Join the Israel Day Parade in NYC from 11-4. The urgency of the moment underscores a seminal idea in the parsha of Sh'lach. The generation in the desert missed the opportunity to inherit Israel. Once the decree was established to delay the journey, the defiance of a small group (the Ma'apilim) who were ready to ascend were turned back by enemies. It was too late. They missed the chance. We are faced with spiritual opportunities every day. Seize the mitzvah moment.
Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Daniel Cohen

CAS Chesed Announcement

After a long awaited start, Agudath Sholom has finally launched our "Harvest Now Garden" to benefit the Lower Fairfield County Food Bank to provide fresh produce for those in need. The fence is up, the compost and top soil are down, and the veggies are just planted and already thriving. A very big thank you is due  Jim Benjamin who, with his hard work and passion, helped get this garden off the ground. A thank you is also due Joel Zaritzsky of J&D Fencing who generously donated his time to build the garden fence. 

 

We are far from done so now we are ready to reach out to the community to see who wants to get involved in this beautiful mitzvah. We will be working on the garden this Sunday morning, June 2nd at 11:15 am for a couple of hours and need your help with planting some additional seeds, weeding, shoveling foot paths, etc. If you are interested in helping, please come dressed appropriately with your own gardening gloves, hand trowels, shovels, and ready to do some gardening! We are also looking for some donations of supplies for the garden. If you want to purchase new or donate any of your used items, please let me know so I can track what we will have versus what we will need. Below is the list of needed supplies:

 

Mulch - can be used grass clippings from your yard, hay, or proper gardening mulch 
5 Large Tomato Cages or 5 garden stakes (6 feet high) 
Organic Fertilizer 
2-3 Large Cartons of Epsom Salts 
Twine or String 

 

If you know of others who would be interested in getting involved in the garden project, please feel free to forward along this email. Looking forward to working with you and hoping to see some of you this Sunday!
All the best, 
Congregation Agudath Sholom Chesed Committee

THE TERRITORIES-HISTORY, ISSUES, POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS-June 9, 9:30 am, JCC. Mentioned regularly in the news, "the Territories" are a trigger point for most discussions about Israel.  However, many Americans do not have a strong grasp of the history, and are only aware of what the media tells about what is happening on the ground. As a community deeply engaged in the discussion of Israel, it is imperative that we know the history, and are aware of the facts on the ground. Only then, should we discuss what can be done for the future. The Jewish Education and Engagement Project of the United Jewish Federation (UJF)  and the JCC in partnership with Chavurat Aytz Chayim, Congregation Agudath Sholom, Hadassah, Selah, Temple Beth El, Temple Sinai and Young Israel will offer this program, conducted by Rabbi Stanley Davids and UJF's new CEO, Jim Cohen and will include ample time for discussion and questions.The program, which begins at 9:30 am, will include a light continental breakfast.  To register for the program go to www.ujf.org/territories.aspx.  The program is $15 in advance/$20 at the door ($7.50/$10 for J.E.E.P. Pass holders). For more information, contact Elise Passy at elise@ujf.org or 203-321-1373 ext. 114
