Member directory for Congregation Ner Tamid, 1990s

A Special Place to Belong The Reform Synagogue of Las Vegas "These are the gifts that we bring that we may build a Holy Place" Rabbi Sandford D. Akselrad, M.A.H.L. Temple Directory Rabbi's Message Over twenty years ago when our Temple first formed, there was a discussion as to choice of names for our fledgling group of reform Jews. One group suggested, "Temple Ner Tamid". The other, "Congregation Ner Tamid". As is apparent, the latter group prevailed. The sentiments that won out were those that suggested the term "Temple" referred to the edifice while "Congregation" referred to the people. It was an important first statement. Our Temple is truly made up of a Congregation, a Congregation of people who are committed to one another and the ideals of reform Judaism. This is what helps make our Congregation so spe-cial. Yet, it is easy to loose sight of this ideal. Especially as we have grown larger and larger. There was a time when "everyone knew everyone". This is no longer true. Even long time members can come and exclaim with mixed joy, "Who are all these new people!" Few of us like to be anonymous. Especially at a place which we feel is our Congregational home. So it is up to each of us to continue to reach out to unfamiliar faces and introduce ourselves and make everyone feel welcome. This Temple Directory is also a step in that direction. It is an attempt to place faces to names and names to faces that we seek all the time. Sometimes we meet someone once and simply can't recall their name upon a second meeting. This directory should help refresh our memories and enhance the sense of togetherness we wish to engender at the Temple. And too, there is a section in the Directory which will illus-trate many of the activities that are part of our Temple's program to teach and live Judaism. I hope that you will find the smiles and joy on these faces both touching and invig-orating. Our Temple is truly more than a building, it is dynamic family that is there to support one another. It is good to see the dreams of our founders come true. And even better to be a part of the dream itself.
