They are a dedicated group of people who give of themselves to instill a love of Judaism in our children. Message From The Rabbi Rabbi Sanford D. Akselrad The month of May seems to always bring a swirl of activities. The month wil^ begin with an outstanding guest scholar - Peninnah Schram. I have listened t<SP her and admired her for many years. She is a master story teller for all ages. Her abilities and depth of knowledge are incredible and I encourage everyone to attend the programs May 4th and 5th. May 18th is our annual Confirmation service. This year?s class is exceptional. Craig Rosen, our new director of Lifelong Learning, has done a remarkable job with them and they have written a beautiful service. Whether or not your son/daughter is in Confirmation you will want to take pride in their accomplishments and attend. On May 20th we have our picnic with Temple Midbar Kodesh. You may recall last year several hundred people from both congregations attended as Midbar Kodesh generously welcomed us to the community. We are returning the gesture this year by hosting the picnic. I think both Congregations have swelled with pride in setting an example of menschlekeitness for the entire Jewish community. And besides, it was also a lot of fun! The bulletin is full of many other activities but these highlights are a vivid reminder of the busj^ activity that continues to grow within our Temple community. I have been delighted by everyone?s enthusiasm and participation. Our membership continues to grow and word has spread that we are officially ?here?. May we continue to go ?from strength to strength?. Shavuot Program Tuesday, May 22 7:00 pm in Belt Tefillah Join us for a short service and play followed by discussion and dessert!

Michael Cherry Dr. Bernard Farrow *Eugene Kirshbaum *David Goldwater ^deceased Springtime in Las Vegas is a time full of beauty and promise. Flowers bloom; children can be heard laughing throughout the temple, mothers cooing newborn babies, proud parents reveling in recent Bar and Bat mitzvahs. A Passover filled with joy and camaraderie. With this re-birthing of nature and faith comes the amazing realization that our next phase of construction is also birthing. Our wonderful plans for a new preschool opening with a loving instructor excited to make new friends and build a place to call home; excited to bring fresh ideas into our new preschool and care for the education of our precious young children. Lonnie Kritzler comes to us from Ohio and has all the right qualities to fit into our temple community. Well educated and interesting, her dedication to creating our children's first perfect school experience comes with jubilation for her craft. Once our education building opens, Jewish teens will be thrilled as they become the premier occupants of the new incredible teen lounge. Those kids that worked hard to bring this about are now in their late 20's giving birth to their own children. Many of us will be celebrating the opening of the new "teen lounge". It will be a joyful place, a retreat, but also, a place dedicated to building and creating visionary minds, bringing ideas and conversation into round table discussions; where intellect, respect and fun walk hand in hand. Spring is a great time. And for us at CNT, Wow!!!! It is our first spring in our new home. If there was ever a spring of promise for the future, this is definitely that spring. To Our CNT Family.... wc hope that you have all had a chance to sec our new facility and appreciate it's beauty. We feel we have built something that will last for generations. We ask that at Onegs, B 'nai Mitzvah parties or any function held here that everyone, especially our children, treat this new home with the respect a Sacred house of worship deserves. Your Temple Board ( May 2007 ~ T ) Look Who's Joining Our Staff... We would like to introduce you to our new Director of Early Childhood Educatio Lonnie Kritzler. She has worked in Jewish Education for over 20 years, earned Bachelor of Science degree in Education at the University of Cincinnati and received a Master's in Jewish Education at Siegal College in Cleveland, Ohio. For the last 9 years, Lonnie has been the Director of Early Childhood Education at Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple. During her tenure, the preschool became one of the most desired Jewish schools in the Cleveland area. Lonnie is also the proud mother of two sons, Benjamin (28) and Joseph (25). While her official start date is June 1, you can meet her on May 5 at the next Preschool Open House, here at the temple office at 5:00 pm. You can also email her at Lkritzler@lvnertamid.org.

There were so many memories created this school year from our family education days, to our holiday celebrations and of course the grand opening of our new campus. It is my hope that you and your children feel the same sense of pride that I feel about our school program. Success cannot be accomplished without the love and dedication of our amazing faculty. This month we have the opportunity to honor and thank our teachers for all of their work throughout the year. Please join us in thanking them on Friday May 11 at our special Shabbat service. As we wind down this year, we begin to make plans for our next school year. On Sunday, May 6th we begin registration for the 2007-2008 school year. Please plan on bringing in your registration forms and tuition deposits so that we can plan our classrooms and supplies for the upcoming year. In preparation for our upcoming school year. I?d like to call upon parents who are interested in our Education program to join me for a special meeting to talk about our successes and challenges. At this meeting we'll also talk about future plans for the school and discuss the direction I?d like to see us moving towards. This meeting will be a springboard for forming an Education committee that will examine curriculum, help review school policy, and assist me in carrying out our school's vision. The meeting will take place on Tuesday night May 29 from 7:00-8:30 pm. Please RSVP to Lynette at the Temple.

Please call our TNT advisor Pam Poster for information ( Mat 2007 ~ s ) Financial Contributions to CNT Irv Duchowny, Executive Director As you know. I often mention various ways that congregants and friends can make time or energy donations to CNT. This month. I'd like to mention some ways for our wonder^k ^ congregants to help CNT financially. By now. I'm sure that everyone has had a chance to visit our new campus and our new temple. We we had many visitors, and our membership ranks are now starting to increase. For those congregants who have been contributing on a regular basis to our Building Fund and/or New Campus Campaign, let me say ?Thank You?. For those members who might have let their Building Fund donations slip, let me please remind everyone that we need everyone's help. There are several ways for congregants to help CNT financially, now that we we moved into our new home. Following are just a few ways you can help: ? We have several Menorah Levels of Donors (on page 9 in this month's bulletin are the specific benefits of each of these levels of Annual Commitment). These are financial levels that congregants voluntarily increase their Annual Commitment levels - in place of our usual $1700 Annual Commitment level, we have several other higher categories, which we use to balance our budget to help out those congregants on financial relief. We ask that, if you are financially comfortable in moving up to a higher level of donation, that you contact me and we can discuss this option. This would truly be a Mitzvah. * A note: for those parents with children in the 3- grade and above, this might be worth a second look, as some of these categories include Religious School fees, as well as other fees usually not included in usual Annual Commitment levels, which might provide financial incentive for some. ? Now that we?re in our new temple, five had several congregants ask about being added to our "Wall of Honor" in our lobby. Basically, inclusion on our Wall of Honor, which indicates those who have contributed at least $7,500 to the new facility payable over several years (including any Building Fund donations made within the past several years) would qualify you to be added to our Wall. A marvelous opportunity for many congregants to financially participate in our new Sacred Home. ? We have also had several families ask about our King David Memorial Garden area, and the naming opportunities available for either sponsoring a Row of Remembrance or having space(s) for deceased loved ones. We are currently finalizing a brochure for this area. If you are interested, please contact me directly. These are only a few ways the congregants and friends of CNT can help us financially. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 733-6292, ext. 201, or email me at Iduchownv@lvnertamid.org. I look forward to hearing from you. and discussing how you can help CNT financially, as well as with your attendance, your energy and your participation. To be continued...... Irv King David Memorial Garden Look for our new brochure on the King David Memorial Garden Perpetual Rows of Remembrance. Contact Irv if you'd like information as to how you can honor and respect those who have passed away. G WWW. LVNERTAMID.

Approximately 80 people participated in the traditional Seder dinner held in the social hall of our temple on March 24th. Our Educator, Craig Rosen led us through the Haggadah chosen for the occasion. Each table was adorned with a Seder plate and a Congregation Ner Tamid member who helped explain the significance of each part of the Seder. A traditional Passover Seder dinner was served with homemade matzo ball soup, gefilte fish, a chicken dinner complete with roasted vegetables and dessert of macaroons and fruit. Following the Seder, Del Acosta (our Ritual Vice President) and Craig Rosen escorted our guests into the sanctuary to explain more of our traditions and answer questions. The guests were then given a tour of our beautiful Temple. We received many comments of appreciation and vows to attend services in the future. It was such a privilege to share our centuries? old remembrance of God?s deliverance with others. How remarkable that people of different faiths can sit, laugh and peaceably share a meal and come away with a greater appreciation for each other and the God we all serve. { May 2007 F) Mazel Tov to Judy and Leonard Stone on the birth of their first child, Jonah Shai born on March 12th, weighing 5 lbs 5 ozs and 18 inches long.

At the end of February we opened our beautiful new campus to the Henderson / Green Valley and Southern Nevada community in grand style. And within the first month of occupying our new residence many wonderful programs, services and events took place. Seniors who are unable to dri\^J themselves to a Shabbat service were brought via a cab service arranged for by our Chesed committee; JACS - a group for Jewish Alcoholics, Chemically Dependent & Significant Others met weekly, Passover baskets were delivered to 30 home-bound members by members of the Chesed committee, and the Social Action committee put on an Interfaith Seder for members of local churches to give them the opportunity to experience Passover. The Membership committee has begun holding membership retention coffees in various neighborhoods to provide an opportunity for our members to meet one another. If you haven?t been to one of the coffees yet one will be coming to your neighborhood soon. The congregation chavurah program is coming back into full swing. Look for the information form inserted into this bulletin. Along with creating programs, I hope to help make your experience here meaningful and look forward to serving you, your families and your friends. Please feel free to call me or introduce yourself when in the synagogue.
