Message From Rabbi Bearman About Ridgefield/Anti-Defamation League Program
"I spent several hours on Tuesday with leaders from many departments of the Town of Ridgefield as we completed training facilitated by the Anti-Defamation League. I was impressed by the number of people who attended the program and with the depth of caring that each person showed in our conversations. First Selectman Marconi has made it clear that this is just the first step, and I look forward to working with these leaders, as well as with others, as we continue the important work of strengthening our community."
-- Rabbi Rachel Bearman

Mazel Tov to Rabbi Bearman!
At the
Colorful Shabbat Family Worship Service last Friday, Cindy Baulsir (President of TBC) presented Rabbi Bearman with a copy of
Mishkan HaNefesh For Youth with a congratulatory inscription along with another copy for Rabbi Bearman to inscribe for the Temple B'nai Chaim library. Click here to view photos of the Colorful Shabbat Family Service.
As many of you know, over the past two years, Rabbi Bearman has been helping to create the Central Conference of American Rabbis' new mahzor (High Holy Day prayer book) for families.
Mishkan HaNefesh For Youth
includes the commitment to creative poetry and readings that we see in our new mahzor,
Mishkan HaNefesh, as well as the easy accessibility (and beautiful art!) of our Family Service prayer book,
Mishkan T'filah For Youth.
In addition to serving on the Advisory Group for Mishkan HaNefesh For Youth, Rabbi Bearman also wrote multiple prayers that are included in the prayer book. We wish Rabbi Bearman "MAZEL TOV" on this special accomplishment!

Do a Mitzvah in Your Sleep!
By participating in this mitzvah you are helping to provide a warm place for people to spend the night during the coldest time of the year. Without us supporting this project, two dozen people might be out on the street looking for a place to huddle for the night. Please help!

Hanukkah Mitzvah Opportunity at Jewish Senior Services
Do you have an hour to spare during this Holiday season to spread the Hanukkah light? Just one hour would mean so much to the residents at
Jewish Senior Services
. Perhaps you could bring your choir to perform, some children to sing Hanukkah songs, have a candle-lighting ceremony or help the Residents light their own menorahs. If you are unable to get to JSS, perhaps you could make cards or Hanukkah decorations. If you are interested, please call Ellen Ashkins at (203) 365-6417 or email her at
eashkins@jseniors.org
