A MESSAGE FROM THE RABBI

As we dip out apples in honey, let us pray for sweetness for ourselves and for those we love. May we continue to grow in connection to our tradition, our people, and our community. May we experience a year of blessings, and may the world be a better place for us and for our children.

On Rosh Hashanah it is written....

On Yom Kippur it is sealed:

May it be written and may it be sealed that the year to come is filled with Health, Joy, Peace, Wisdom, and Fulfillment.

Shanah Tovah U'metukah - Rabbi Michael S. Jay

REMINDER -

Last week Rabbi Jay made a request. It is not to late to send it to him before Rosh Hashana:

As I am wont to do, I need to ask for your help. I would like you to email me all or some of the following:

1) The name of your favorite song or your "anthem".

2) The name of the song that makes you happy (if different from the one above)

3) The name of the song that you listen to when you are sad.

4) The name of the song that is guaranteed to make you jump up and dance.

[email protected]

RABBI'S HOURS

No office hours September 26.

Rabbi Jay will now be at his office at the JCC on TUESDAYS and will have office hours from 10:00 AM - Noon. Drop in to chat (call the office to make sure he is in and not out on an emergency 609-492-4090) or make an appointment with him (973-865-9534).

This is also a good time to telephone the rabbi.

GIVING OPPORTUNITIES

RAFFLES

All members should have received their raffle tickets. Please help to make this project a success by purchasing tickets. Additional tickets are also available in the office.

MORRIS L. SHAPIRO ENDOWMENT FUND

All organizations should have a substantial endowment fund to ensure its continuation. Except for dire emergencies, the principal amounts in the fund cannot be used to run the organization. Interest earned from the account may be used. As previously announced, Herb and Selma Shapiro have created a JCC Endowment Fund to honor Herb's father. It will be known as "The Morris L. Shapiro Endowment Fund at the JCC of LBI " The Shapiros have generously pledged a total of $50,000 to fund this. While initially established by the Shapiros, anyone may contribute to this important fund.

Join Herb and Selma in helping assure the continuity of our JCC, and our ability to continue providing a full-service congregation to serve the Jewish people of the area. All members are encouraged to help this important effort by contributing to this Fund.

Your gift to the fund can be sent to the JCC Office. Please mark your check accordingly.

TD AFFINITY PROGRAM

Easy money!

Do you have an account with TD Bank?

You can contribute to the JCC without it costing you a cent. TD Bank will pay us on the number of accounts in our TD Affinity Club. There is no minimum number of members. We automatically receive $10 for every checking account and .01% of the balance on Savings Accounts. In addition we receive $50 for any new accounts. This is strictly confidential and the JCC does not know the amount in any of the accounts.

We just received a check for $456.00 from TD Bank. So think about joining this program and helping the JCC to reap the benefits.
