Summer is quickly approaching and you know what that means -good times with good people. The Temple is planning a number of social functions which will take us to the end of the year with high spirits. June 22nd marks a special date. It is our FIRST Congregational Shabbat Dinner. Before services we will all get together and share food and good conversation. It promises to be a wonderful evening; a chance to get together with old friends and to make some new ones. Please don?t miss this event. Fill out the reservation form in this Bulletin and mail it in soon! A membership drive is planned for the month of July. We have grown tremendously in the past few years and we need to continue. We in the Temple office talk to many new people who have either just moved to Las Vegas or who are thinking of doing so. In fact, two new families joined this week. But we need your help too. Talk to your friends and neighbors. Bring them to Services to see what a warm and friendly Temple we have. Bring them to the Temple office. We would love to welcome them into our Congregational family. Also, on July 6th we will have a ?Sundae Shabbat?. Everyone will make their own ice cream sundae after the Service. Can you imagine more fun?! ?Hello Dolly?, one of the best loved plays of all time will be presented at the Spring Mountain Ranch during the month of August. As in years past, theTemple will have apicnic and Shabbat Service on August 29th. What a great place to bring the family! Also in the month of August (17th) we will have another ?Sundae? Shabbat.

MarkCongregation Ner Tamid RABBI S MESSAGE ?FOLLOWING THE FOOTSTEPS OF GOD? Oftentimes we read prayers and mediation over and over, and then, ?poof? somehow, someway, one of them hits home. For some reason a prayer which has been all too familiar finds renewed meaning, shedding new light on a problem, a belief or a situation. S uch was the case today when I opened up our prayerbook and began reading through some of the introductory reflections. This one gave me pause to ponder: ?Wherever you find God?s footsteps, there is God before you.? As a Rabbi I am often confronted in the course of a week with events, celebrations and sorrows that would occur to someone else over the course of a year or a few years. I can be at a Bris, a wedding, and a funeral in a matter of 24 hours. It is often at these peak moments in people ? s lives that I am questioned. ?Rabbi, what is going on here? My life is so different - everything has changed!? ?Rabbi, I can?t go on without my spouse. My life has no meaning. Rabbi, Why? Why me?" With the atmosphere so charged with emotional electricity, I often take a few moments to reflect about how moments in time change our lives so drastically. What we seek so often in life is a map to guide us through life?s challenges and emotional peaks and valleys. I often ponder, ?But where does such a map exist?? Our tradition responds: ?Wherever you find God?s footsteps, there is God before you.? I suppose one reason why I became a Rabbi is to fulfill my own need to find God. Over and over again. To be sure when things are happy and going well, faith is never a challenge, it is taken for granted. Ah, but when times are tough, faith is often hard to maintain. And paradoxically that is when faith is needed the most. How is it possible to maintain our faith, to find our ?map?? By looking for God?s footsteps. By following His path and knowing that we walk in the path of the Holy and Sacred. Our faith is the light which illuminates the path left behind by God. Our deeds give us the energy to pursue this path. And our heritage forms the vehicle through which we travel through time and space towards God. And too, knowing that God has walked before me allows me to understand that there is a reason and a purpose. I may not understand now, perhaps not ever that eternal ?Why?. But somehow, someway, I know there is a reason. And when I ponder, I am encouraged once again, to walk forward towards the footsteps of God. B?shalom, Sanford D. Akselrad Rabbi DO YOU LIKE TO SING? Our choir is no w beginning to rehearse for the High Holidays. If you would like to join our choir, please call the Temple office at 733-6292. Better yet, why not come to a rehearsal.

JULY & AUGUST SERVICES WILL BE HELD 7:00 P.M. President's Message As hard as it is to believe, another school year is behind us. There are many people to thank for our religious school growing in strength, stature and size. Both Bobbie Bemay, Vice President of Education and Jackie McRitchie, Principal, took over during the year and were able to keep things running without missing a beat. Our staff, the Rabbi, the teachers and teachers aids, worked efficiently and effectively to insure our children would have a positive and productive educa?tional experience. We publicly honored them at Shab- bat Services on May 13th and want them to know they are all special people. Many parents also gave of their time and talents, as room parents and for holiday and art projects. Thank you to all of you. Our Sisterhood ended their busy year with a Sisterhood Shabbat, a lively donor luncheon and a potluck dinner. Another luncheon will take place this month. We want to thank Hortense Alper, her Board and membership for their past year of devoted service to the Temple. Mazel Tov to Rose Dunn, our first recipient of the Great Lady award, established by Leo Wilner to honor his beloved late Great Lady, Mickey. We all look forward to the more relaxed pace of summer. Remember our summer congregational Shabbat dinner on June 22nd. Also Sabbath services are going to be at 7:00 p.m. during the months of July and August again this year! We look forward to our annual Shabbat picnic dinner and the show at Spring Mountain Ranch (to be held this year on August 24th. More information will be available on this fun event later.

What are some areas where / can specifically sup?port the Temple?? There are many, many needs. The following list, to be printed in our bulletin from time to time, describes some of the many funds that we have at the Temple. Contributions to these funds are acknowledged in our monthly bulle?tin. ADULT EDUCATION: This fund pro?vides support for many educational pro?grams throughout the year. Contribu?tions to this fund will allow us to provide courses and speakers of Jewish content to our Congregants and the community. ART & BEAUTIFICATION: This fund provides support for beautifying both the exterior and interior of our Temple. Con?tribution to this fund allow us to maintain our Temple grounds and to purchases art work, furniture and other decorative item s for the Temple. BUILDING FUND: Contributions to this fund go towards maintaining our fa?cility. In addition gifts to this fund will help us attain our goal of building addi?tional classrooms, office space and our Sanctuary. CHOIR: Contributions to this fund pro?vides support for our Choir. This fund will be used to purchase robes, music and another items to support the Choir. FLOWER FUND: Assists the Temple in purchasing flowers to adorn our pulpit for special events. GENERAL FUND: Provides for the overall maintaining of ourTemplebudget. Membership dues provide only a portion of what it takes to run our Temple. Generous support of this fund allows our Temple to grow and provide additional creative programs to our membership. KOL NIDRE APPEAL: Only 60% of our Temple budget comes from dues. The remainder must be made up of con?tributions to the Temple. The annual ?Kol Nidre Appeal? typically publicized at High Holiday time is the major means by which ourTcmple is able to sustain itself. LIBRARY FUND: Our fledgling li?brary is in need of something very impor?tant-books! ThisfundallowstheTemple to purchase books on Jewish topics both fiction and non-fiction. Many in the Temple and especially the children in our religious school are regular visitors to our library. Our need for a larger number and a greater variety of books is deeply felt. M.B. DALITZ RELIGIOUS SCHOOL FUND: This fund is used to bolster our Religious School. OUTREACH FUND: This special pro?gram began at our Temple in 1989. Out??reach is a program designed to provide programming and support to inter-faith couples and their families. Outreach helps integrate such families into Con?gregational life by providing social and educational programs on a variety of Jewish topics. Over a hundred people have participated our first year in this vitally needed program. PRAYERBOOK FUND: Purchasing a prayerbook for either the High Holydays or Shabbat is a lovely way to pay tribute to a loved one. PRESCHOOL FUND: Contributions to this fund go to support a preschool at our Temple. Monies are used for play equip?ment, educational toys, and many other supplies which will insure that our school is fun and exciting to our youngest chil?dren. RABBI?S DISCRETIONARY FUND: This fund allows our Rabbi to provide support for creative programs at the Temple which are not yet part of our yearly budget. In addition, this fund al?lows theRabbi to help many in ourTemple and in the community who are in need of temporary aid to help them through a difficult time. TEMPLE AUXILIARIES: Each of our auxiliaries, Sisterhood, Brotherhood and Golden Chai have their own special funds which allow them to support a variety of worthwhile endeavors. From oneg Shab- bats to Camperships, from our gift shop to youth activities and Senior activities, our auxiliaries provide much needed support to a variety of special programs. TEMPLE WISH LIST: Very often there are items needed for the Temple which can often be easily donated by Congre?gants who are remodeling their home or updating their office equipment. YOUTH ACTIVITIES FUND: This fund provides support to our youth programs and youth groups. Our Temple has three youth groups, NTTY- Ner Tamid Temple Youth, for 9-12th grades; TNT-Teens of Ner Tamid, for 6- 8th grades; and ?ITTY-BITTY-NITTY? for 2-5th grades.

Outreach is a national program designed to integrate interfaith couples into Congregational life. In addition, Outreach provides pro?grams throughout the year that are both social and informative. Pro?grams in the past have included workshops on Chanukka and Pass- over. Outreach also seeks to become a forum for discussing issues rele?vant to inter-faith couples and their families. One such special program offered this year was a discussion led by two psychologists. Launched by Ner Tamid last Fall, and chaired by Lois Doctors, this program has already received broad praise and participation by our community. In commenting on the decision of Jewish Family Serv?ice to become involved with Out?reach Bill Feldman, the Executive Director of JFS noted ?The issues of inter- marriage are important ones all across America. We in Las Vegas must develop special pro?grams to help educate and integrate such families in our own commu?nity. Jewish Family Service is de?lighted to become involved with this successful program.
