Sisterhood Women's Night Out
Honoring Judith Altmann 
This Wednesday,
June 12, from 7-9 pm
Cocktails, Savory Nosh and Delectable Dairy Dessert 
   What do we remember? What is worth keeping as an heirloom for future generations? Moshe is told to place Aaron's staff, which blossomed miraculously, in the Tabernacle as an eternal reminder of his role as High Priest.
   What are your heirlooms? Last summer, we hosted an evening dedicated to CAS stories with Rabbi Ehrenkranz, Herm Alswanger,Lorraine Kweskin and many cameos. It was a wonderful evening. The video is now posted online. Enjoy and share!
   We wish our heartfelt thanks to Evan Stulberger for his expertise and time in recording and producing the video.
Best wishes to you and your family for a Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Cohen

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
