Rabbi's Message
I hope everyone is still feeling the warmth and great feelings from our BBQ celebration. Though the weather didn't cooperate like it was supposed to, we did what we do best - we adjust accordingly.

In life, and particularly in Jewish life, being able to adjust accordingly is a wonderful trait to have. We sadly learn in this week's Parsha how Bnai Yisrael were unable to cope and adjust to life in the Midbar. We see their entire existence spiral out of control right before our eyes. Even Moshe Rabbeinu has difficulty at times dealing with this unruly nation. We learn how important it is to manage expectations, deal with adversity and deal with ever changing realities. As a group, we do a great job of that and I commend you all for continuously leading by example.

Let us all take a deep breath so we can have an enjoyable and restful summer while we recharge and prepare for another fantastic year at Etz Chaim.

Shabbat Shalom

FOR THIS WEEK'S
YOUTH HAPPENING
Simchat Torah Kol Ha'nearim Tallit
For the third year, Etz Chaim will be adding names to our beautifully designed Kol Hane'arim Tallit on which you will have an opportunity to have your child(ren)'s and grandchild(ren)'s name embroidered.

For $36 per name - this can include first, middle and last names - your child's name will be embroidered on this Tallit which will become a permanent feature of our Simchat Torah celebration. 
The names are embroidered in Hebrew. If you need help with spelling, please contact Shelley Paradis at shel4p@aol.com or Rabbi Klibanoff at rabbiklibanoff@gmail.com.

You can fill out the form on the shul's website etzchaimnj.org /kol-hanearim or use the attached form and return to the office by July 15.
This is a firm deadline as we plan to use the Tallit this year and the stitching takes time. 

For further information, please contact
