Shabbat Shalom

How do we insure that the next generation loves the the land of Israel? When I was younger, I posed this question to a retired rabbi living in Israel whose children all made aliyah. Many times I have seen parents who move to Israel but the children want to remain behind. He shared with me an unforgettable lesson. We may be in love with Israel but our passion will not automatically be passed to our children and grandchildren unless we create opportunities for them to fall in love themselves. He would take his children to Israel for them to be inspired.

In this spirit, we welcome Stanley Block to shul this Shabbat. He in on a short leave from the IDF, where he served in Gaza. He will be leading the prayer for the IDF in both minyanim. We wish a Mazal Tov to Rachel Wolfe, another member serving in the IDF on her induction into the IDF this week. Both of them and our other youth serving in the IDF, have developed a love for the land.

Consider your own trip from the options below. There is nothing like a visit to rekindle the commitment and perpetuate love of the land and people of Israel.

  1. Join the CAS Family Summer Mission to Israel in August 2015. Explore the breadth and depth of the land. Great for first timers or veterans. The trip is uniquely tailored for adults with their children and grandchildren filled with history coming alive and a fostering a love of the natural beauty of our homeland. If you are thinking of a Bar or Bat Mitzvah in Israel, this is the perfect trip! For more information, contact Rabbi Cohen at rabbicohen@cas-stamford.org or 203-252-8252. Click here to view the itinerary
  2. Men's Adult Learning Trip (MALT) Monday morning December 1, 2014 to Saturday Night, December 6. Enjoy a week of learning, touring and bonding. The program will be based in Efrat. For more information, contact Rabbi Cohen at rabbicohen@cas-stamford.org.
  3. Bi Cultural Family Israel Tour: Sunday Feb.15 -Thursday Feb. 26, 2015 For more information, contact Eve Nachman at enachman@bcds.org

Am Yisrael Chai. Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom and may we share good news from Israel in the days ahead.

How do we insure that the next generation loves the the land of Israel? When I was younger, I posed this question to a retired rabbi living in Israel whose children all made aliyah. Many times I have seen parents who move to Israel but the children want to remain behind. He shared with me an unforgettable lesson. We may be in love with Israel but our passion will not automatically be passed to our children and grandchildren unless we create opportunities for them to fall in love themselves. He would take his children to Israel for them to be inspired.

In this spirit, we welcome Stanley Block to shul this Shabbat. He in on a short leave from the IDF, where he served in Gaza. He will be leading the prayer for the IDF in both minyanim. We wish a Mazal Tov to Rachel Wolfe, another member serving in the IDF on her induction into the IDF this week. Both of them and our other youth serving in the IDF, have developed a love for the land.

Consider your own trip from the options below. There is nothing like a visit to rekindle the commitment and perpetuate love of the land and people of Israel.

  1. Join the CAS Family Summer Mission to Israel in August 2015. Explore the breadth and depth of the land. Great for first timers or veterans. The trip is uniquely tailored for adults with their children and grandchildren filled with history coming alive and a fostering a love of the natural beauty of our homeland. If you are thinking of a Bar or Bat Mitzvah in Israel, this is the perfect trip! For more information, contact Rabbi Cohen at rabbicohen@cas-stamford.org or 203-252-8252. Click here to view the itinerary
  2. Men's Adult Learning Trip (MALT) Monday morning December 1, 2014 to Saturday Night, December 6. Enjoy a week of learning, touring and bonding. The program will be based in Efrat. For more information, contact Rabbi Cohen at rabbicohen@cas-stamford.org.
  3. Bi Cultural Family Israel Tour: Sunday Feb.15 -Thursday Feb. 26, 2015 For more information, contact Eve Nachman at enachman@bcds.org

Am Yisrael Chai. Wishing you and your families a Shabbat Shalom and may we share good news from Israel in the days ahead.
Rabbi Daniel Cohen
