| | | | | The deeds of our forefathers are a sign for the future. This underlying principle in Judaism resonates today. With the renewed interest in diplomacy with Iran, their true intentions are unclear. Britain recently restored formal relations with Iran, the U.S treads cautiously and Prime Minister Netanyahu warms of a wolf in sheep's clothing. How are we to perceive the overtures? The US, Israel and much of Europe have spent years tightening sanctions on Iran and insisting that Iran not reach nuclear capability. I am drawn to this week's Torah portion. Avraham treads cautiously with Avimelech. When asked by Avimelech why he did not reveal the true identity of Sara, Avraham responds that he could not trust him since there is no fear of G-d in this place. Words alone cannot be trusted. They must be coupled with action. Please take a few moment to read these two issue papers here and here developed by AIPAC which addresses the current situation with Iran and our responsibility to remain vigilant. May we hear good news in these days ahead with prayers for peace. Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi Daniel Cohen rabbicohen@cas-stamford.org | 203-252-8252 | Rabbi Cohen's podcasts |
| Dear CAS Family, Today is my last day at CAS. As I reflect back on my time here, I realize how this experience has enriched my life and I am forever influenced by your commitment and conviction to your faith. I have been exposed to a life that I respect and admire and, as a result, I have become a better person. It is with mixed emotions that I begin a new chapter in my life, and I would like to thank you all for your warmth, kindness and support through the years. L'hitraot, Cindy |

| Volunteers Needed | | PARTNERS IN TORAH Looking for a few good men and women to be a mentor for Partners in Torah: http://www.partnersintorah.org/. 30 minutes can change a life. If you are interested in serving as a mentor for Partners in Torah or might consider this wonderful mitzvah, please be in touch with Rabbi Cohen.
COMMUNITY HELPERS An important role of the Chesed committee is outreach to the Shul's elderly and homebound, who are often isolated and lack a lifeline to our synagogue. We are asking for volunteers from our congregation willing to reach out to these members to offer an ear, identify areas of need, make a visit, or offer a ride to a doctor's appointment. Even small gestures mean a great deal and do not take much time. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Vivian Weiss at 203-323-0909 or vivianweiss@gmail.com. If you are aware of any elderly or homebound shul members in need of outreach, please notify Rabbi Cohen.
WELCOME TO OUR SYNAGOGUE PROGRAM As you know, every Shabbat we station ushers at the doors in the sanctuary to welcome people, assist them and enhance the dignity of the service. In an effort to create an even warmer environment, we are expanding the usher roles to include a greeter in the lobby from 9-10:30 am. Please join the usher team. We need you and your smile. To find out more and sign up, contact Mitchell Bell at wizdrbel@yahoo.com |

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.
