Neighborhood Meetings Report
|
The neighborhood meetings were held last year and a report was delivered to the congregation in June of 2008.
That report is available on-line by clicking here. The report is the result of many voices, but in reality,
it is the common voice of our Temple community. We continue to encourage people to give us feedback. Send
your feedback to reportfeedback@orrishon.org. The feedback function of the initial neighborhood meeting is
now largely replaced by our Town Hall meetings.
reportfeedback@orrishon.org.
Thank you for your support this past year.
The Neighborhood Meeting Task Force Committee.

Gan K'tan Kids Sing the Motzi |
Every Friday we celebrate Shabbat with our Gan K'Tan friends. Here
we are singing the
Motzi and petting the Challah. Why do we pet the Challah?
Because the Challah has
to wait for its blessing so we want to pet it so it knows it is just as important to us
as the Candle Lighting and the Kiddish.
NOTE: If you have problems viewing the video, close your media window and re-open it.

Scrip |
|
We carry over 50 stores in stock, and there are hundreds of others available for special order. Scrip is available for all kinds of merchants; grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, fast food, department stores, specialty stores, home improvement stores, movie theaters, book stores. Take a look at the lists of what is available. I challenge you to honestly say that you don’t shop at any of these places. Keep a little on hand for the places you go to regularly. It costs you nothing (the stores are the ones who are making the donation), and TOR benefits.
Call Karen Ziman at 933-6537 or email at karziman@aol.com for more information or to place a special order.
