Rabbi's Remarks at Wilton Interfaith Service
"The value that the Jewish tradition and the Jewish people have placed on medicine and healing goes back for thousands of years. The first prayer for healing is attributed to Moses, who, upon seeing that Miriam had been stricken with leprosy, called to "God, El na, r'fa na la! Oh God, please heal her!" For the authors of the Torah, illness reflected one's internal health, and Miriam's leprosy was a direct result of her gossipping with Aaron about their sister-in-law. (Why Aaron wasn't similarly stricken is a subject that will need to wait for another interfaith service!)"

Men's Club Happenings
From Jeff Spector: First, a big thank you to the men who helped take down the sukkah on Columbus Day weekend. You are troopers. Second, we will be hosting a get together next month on
Sunday, November 15th (9:30-11:00 am). The meeting will be a three-parter. Part 1 will be the election of officers. Part 2 will be a fascinating (hopefully!) discussion of two articles about being a man in our society, "When is it OK for a Man to be Aggressive" and "2 Massive Confessions About So-Called Alpha Males (as written by one)". As we get closer to the meeting, I will send the articles to all. Part 3 will be a discussion about specific agendas for future meetings. Looking forward to see all of our male congregants, both young and old. Contact Jeff Spector with any questions at
jms884@gmail.com
or 203-956-6367.
