| | | | | Wow! I cannot think of a better occasion than Sukkot to share our success as a shul in giving back to the community. Sukkot is the holiday when we affirm G-d as the source of our bounty and reach out to insure blessings for everyone. Every Jew is welcome into the Sukkah. We read the book of Ecclesiastics to highlight that the roots of happiness lie not in what we accumulate but in what we share with others
Thank G-d, under the leadership of our chairs, Jesse and David Brand and teen chairs Tamar Cohen, Rachelle Guy, Gabriella Lieberman and Jessica Steinmetz we have collected over 100 bags of food for the JFS Kosher Food Pantry. This is over double the amount of last year!
Also, in a new initiative with Harvest Now and under the leadership of Jim Benjamin and Meredith Cohen, we have harvested over 113 pounds of vegetables. The produce is delivered to a local food shelter. G-d and the ground keep giving. This is the first time we as a shul have planted a garden and given our harvest during the Sukkot season. Yasher Koach!
It is amazing what we can do with some inspiration and dedication.
Enjoy the holiday and wishing everyone a Chag Sameach and early Shabbat Shalom! Rabbi Daniel Cohen rabbicohen@cas-stamford.org | 203-252-8252 | Rabbi Cohen's podcasts |

We are a group of approximately fifty members ranging in age from 40 and up and we come from all over CT and Westchester County. Our monthly meetings take place in Westport, CT (usually at the UJA offices) every second Tuesday of the month. Spouses of 2G members as well as 3rd Generation often attend our general meetings. In our first year of existence, we have made great strides. In addition to creating our mission statement, "To honor the spirit and courage of our parents and those who perished or survived and rebuilt their lives. And to remember them and dedicate in their honor good works and healing deeds to benefit and enlighten future generations so the horrors of the Shoah will never be revisited upon humanity" we are also exploring and sharing the unique experiences, awareness, bonds, burdens, and responsibilities that come with being Children of Holocaust survivors. As we journey into our second year together, we realize even more how much great community depends on great conversation and that we are witnesses in ourselves to something far greater than ourselves.Please come and join us.
