A havurah is a group of couples, families, and/or individuals who commit to meeting on a regular basis. It?s a terrific way to become ac?quainted with other congregants, to support and participate in Temple functions. Havurahs are open to Temple members only. Last October, Congregation Ner Tamid held its First Annual All-Havurah Pot Luck Get To?gether. Over one hundred people came to share fabulous food and lots of laughter with old and new friends. Many new havurahs were formed that night and will con?tinue to form.

The evening is planned for those interested in joining a havurah, those interested in changing from their present ha?vurah, or those who are in estab?lished havurahs. Havurah applications can be picked up from the Temple Of?fice. If you had sent us an appli?cation last year, but were not placed, please be sure to come to our Pot Luck Dinner. There are now openings in some established havurahs and many new ones will be established on October 9th. The input received indicates that the main purpose of those who join a havurah is a social one and that?s fine, but who can bet?ter choose your friends than you! We?d really appreciate an R.S.V.P. to properly set up the evening and let you know what to bring for the Pot Luck Dinner. It is helpful for a liaison from each of the established havurahs to R.S.V.P. as well. To R.S.V.P. or have any ques?tions answered, please contact Rona Mendelson at 458-1536.message from abbi "People A>re OWore important" C^Sachus. That?s what we hope our children give us. And sometimes they do simply by showing us that in some small way they have indeed been listening and learning to the simple lessons we?ve given them. This past Shabbat I decided to reinforce the lesson of Tzedakah. I had a discussion with my daughter about how each week I would like her to decide to give a part of her allowance to Tzedakah. It would be up to her to decide exactly how much, but I suggested that she might keep 1/3 of her allowance, save 1/3 and give 1/3 to Tzedakah. We talked about the importance of giving to others. In the past we have collected cans for the poor or given away clothing to the needy, but this was the first time I had ever asked her to give up her hard earned money herself. After our dis?cussion, I asked her, ?Now tell me how much do you want to give this week to Tzedakah?" She took out her entire allowance and said, "all of it!? I was a little taken aback and I said to her, "Now, are you sure? If you give this money up today it will take you longer to buy those toys you?ve been saving up for.? ^J^would like to extend a special THANK YOU to all of our Adult Choir members for enhancing our High Holiday services with their wonderful music. I appreciate all of their hard work and support of our music pro?gram. I hope you all noticed our brand new robes which were purchased with the proceeds from our ?Buffet of Jewish Music? concert series. Adult Choir rehearsals will resume on Thursday, October 20 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM in the Sanctuary. I am looking forward to an exciting and challenging new year for our choir and encourage anyone who likes to sing to join usl If you have any questions about the choir please feel free to call me at the Temple. Our Junior Choir has come back together and did an outstanding job leading us in song at our Simchat Torah Family Service! This year we will be learning a lot of fun, new music to make some of our most joyous holi?days even more exciting! If you came to Sukkot services you may have noticed some melodies that you never heard before. What you were listening to was actual ?nusach? or traditional cantorial chant for Sukkot. Almost every festival has it?s own ?nusach? that is carried throughout the service. As part of my studies with Cantor Sharlin I will be learning all of the various melo?dies to enhance our services. Shalom, Bella Without a blink of an eye she re?sponded, ?But Daddy, people are more important than toys." People are more important than toys! What could I say? It was all I could do to hold back a tear of pride. Now there may be some who would say, "Rabbi, she?s young yet. She doesn?t really know what toys cost and the true value of money.? To which I would respond, ?No, I think she has learned the value of money very well.? Nachus. The joy of knowing that a cherished value has been passed on. What could be a better New Year gift than this? B?Shalom, Rabbi SANCTUARY FUND GOAL 1.8 million 1.8 HELP US MEET OUR GOAL! mil. 2 T S p e c ia l SPJace SJo D S e/o n y $ C ongregation N er T amid $ message At first blush one would conclude that a two year term as Congrega?tional President is a form of cruel and unusual punishment. Two years of meetings and telephone calls, re?cruiting Congregants as "volunteers" for innumerable and demanding ac?tivities, programs and religious events, attendance at services and events, bulletin articles and being the recipient of Congregants? com?pliments, suggestions and criticisms (with criticisms far outweighing the latter two). Well, after completing more than one-half of my term, I must confess that "it ain?t necessar?ily so." The thought that this is a thank?less job is prevalent among Congregants. It is cyclical in the sense that as the High Holidays ap?proach more and more Congregants come up to me and state to the ef?fect ?How do you do it? I could not and would not be President.? Well, I?ll let you in on a little secret. The best time to be Congregational President is at the High Holidays. I have a reserved seat for every ser?vice. My chair is very comfortable. I have my own air-conditioning unit located on the stage so I am at least 10? cooler than the rest of you. I have a view of the entire room and watch as late arrivals attempt to find adjoining seats and avoid the tent. Most of all, it is a wonderful feeling to join with you in prayer and reflection. So, don?t harbor any sympathet?ic thoughts for those individuals who preceded me as President or for those who will succeed me as President. And a special note to the person (a past-President, no less) who recruited me for this position: thank you. Jerry Gordon ~xzr IVIy first month back was very rewarding. The overwhelming ?welcome back? from congregants and the staff was deeply appreciat?ed. It is indeed good to be back. While this could have been a trying time to return - due to events surrounding the High Holi?days - it was made easier by the preparation already accomplished prior to my return. Thanks to Cal Lewis, Ron Worth and many others for their hard work on this years? Kol Nidre Campaign; their efforts and yours are truly appreciated. you may have had during this High Holiday period. The maintenance, office staff, and numerous volun?teers, have been working very hard to ensure that you were treated fair?ly and were made comfortable dur?ing this hectic period. Please thank them and feel free to give me your comments on any issue that may concern you; the only way to cor?rect any problem areas is for me to be aware of them. Again, it is great to be back and to be a part of this family as it con?tinues to grow. I appreciate your patience and understanding with any problem Monty E.

We have new children that are adorable and we are delighted to have them with us. Our program will include the ?building blocks? of Judaism to give each child his first taste of our culture and belief system. We began shortly after the start of school to celebrate Rosh Hashanah which we did with our ?honorary grandpareyits? Ronae and Joe Fink. They visited and shared with us their yummy cookies and did a holiday story to the delight of all. We have Yom Kippur next and we will have each child tell us a prayer that we will turn into a collection for the children to take home. Those are some of the things we?ve done, but we have an agenda that goes way beyond holiday celebrations. Meet CNT?s New Preschool Director Leah Kamer has been ap?pointed by the Board of Direc?tors as Congregation Ner Tamid?s new Preschool Direc?tor after the departure of Dotty Gross who is moving to Atlanta, Georgia. Leah was born in Chicago, moved to Tucson, Ari- zonia when she was nine and has been a resident of Las Vegas since 1991. She has a BA from the University of Arizonia in Social and Behavioral Science. In 1992, she became certified to substitute teach in the state of Nevada. This is Leah?s third year teaching at CNT and re?marks, ?it is a unique opportunity to work with chil?dren while they are very young and enhance their feelings of security in a school setting.? Self-esteem as well as a love of knowledge, are priorities at CNT on a regular basis. Leah is married to Don Kamer (a golfer), and has a grown daughter, Stephany, who has recently moved to Las Vegas. Mazel Tov to Leah on her new position. 4 5 ! SpecialCPIace Uo 33e/onp CNT preschool focuses on a feeling of security and comfort for each child who will leave mom?s side for the first time. We provide a home away from home with much love and personal care. The older child will experience a pre-K program that will be an introduction into the reading and writing they will soon face. CNT?s program encompasses all the needs of the 3-5 year olds and we seek support to enlarge our enrollement. Last, but certainly not least, is our new addi?tion, Helene Rabin. She is a wonderful Temple pre?school teacher who has recently moved here from California. CNT welcomes her with open arms. Please come in and meet us and see our school ? we are very proud of CNT Preschool.

School 'Heart by Jackie Fleekop *7\ne holidays have passed and we have all been reminded of our responsibili?ties as Jews to G-d; ourselves, commu?nity (CNT), and the future. The M. B. Dalitz Religious School is the first of many steps towards preserving the fu?ture of Judaism. Responsibility is not always easy; it may mean inconve?nience, dedication and commitment. We do not have a choice as to educate our children secularly or not, it?s man?dated by a social structure. Religious education is also mandated by Torah. We can choose our degree of obser?vance of congregation involvement and of financial commitment, but WE MUST educate our children Jewishly! The ?we? I speak of are parents. We must project a positive attitude towards religious school and our duty as parents is to require our children to except this religious education as part of their lives. The fact that we had a larger than ever turnout for our parents? orientation is a sign to me as principal that parents at CNT care and are willing to get in?volved. Our Sisterhood served a de?lightful continental breakfast at our parent orientation. The CNT sisterhood as always can be counted on to add a touch of class to any occasion; thanks ladies. I am excited about this year?s pro?gram and staff and the students seem to be enjoying these past few weeks. Our staff will offer your children a cre?ative and well developed curriculum in 5755. We thank you for entrusting us with your children?s religious education and we recognize the awesome respon?sibility. Shalom, Jackie Fleekop If you need to reach the principal, your child or teacher during school hours, call 369-8633 / would like to thank everyone who helped make the High Holdiay Youth Success!

One will be a special ?Rabbi?s Class? for B?nai Mitzvah students on Sunday morn?ings. This class will focus on the meaning of prayers, an understand?ing of the Torah, and incite into what it means to become a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Rabbi will also be teach?ing 9th grade Confirmation class on Thursday evenings. This class will focus on Jewish current events and applying traditional Jewish values to modem day issues. This is the beginning of Jackie?s second year as Education Director at Congregation Ner Tamid. As al?ways, her first concern for the chil?dren is motivation, and her goal is still to enliven our school environ?ment to inspire the children to live Judaism in their everyday life. She envisions a school that establishes its students' self-esteem. We hope to see Jackie?s vision come true. Abbie has been promoted to the first grade. Abbie taught kindergar?ten last year. We are so happy to have her return to our staff again this year. I have been a public school teach?er from New York state since 1956 at the elementary level.

They take the greatest step forward as adults and that is to help a child. In this case, they help the teacher and student as aides in our Religious School to obtain a quality education. Many of these aides volunteer their time and effort on Sundays when they could be resting or studying. The best and the busiest person always finds time for a Miz- vot.

If you are interested in finding out more about Out?reach, please contact either Nadine Cracraft at 254-2862 or Sue Joseph at 656-9963. Social Action Committee The Social Action Committee is pleased to report that dur?ing the High Holiday period we have had the most success?ful canned food drive since we have begun this annual event. Bags were handed out to the congregants at Erev Rosh Hashanah services. More than 2,000pounds were returned. These were passed on to the Jewish Family Service and the Weekend Emergency Assistance Program. The Jewish Fam?ily Service provided the names of the homes and numbers of Jews to our committee. In addition, for the first time our Committee prepared at the home of Natalie and Gil Shaw Rosh Hashanah gift bags that were distributed to Jewish res?idents of three local convalescent hospitals. The bags included a miniature challah, fruit, juice, and a holiday card. Make sure that if you have a youngster who is between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two and living out of town that you submit in writing by October 28th the following information: Name, address, birthday, and whether or not they will be home for Thanksgiving. This year the beginning of Channukah falls during the Thanksgiving weekend. This makes a difference for our gift distribution at the holiday. We are repeating the Annual Channukah Bazaar Blood Drive. Joe Fink will be in charge once more. Please contact Joe at 454-8929 if you are able to donate blood during the Bazaar. It will be collected both by appointment and on a drop-in basis. Save the date of January 29th for a new Mitzvah Day Project. We will be doing a variety of activities both in the temple and out in the community. Examples are volunteer?ing at a shelter, visiting Jewish residents of convalescent hos?pitals, doing a cleanup project at Red Rock Canyon, sorting clothing from a clothing drive, etc. More information will follow. If you are interested in serving on a temple-wide Mitzvah Day Committee, please call the Temple and leave your name. $ C ongregation N er T amid 0 SISTERHOOD ?7 Ain?t It Good To Know You \"
