Message From our DIetv President: When I was approached by the nominating committee to accept the presidency of the Congregation for the next two years, many thoughts ran through my mind. Will I be able to dedicate the time necessary to meet the demands of the office? Can I satisfy a personal commitment to attend most Friday night services? Am I capable of writing 24 interesting and thoughtful monthly columns for the bulletin? With regard to the first two questions, only time will tell. With regard to the third, I will be satisfied if I simply meet the monthly deadlines for the submission of my articles. The next two years should be a very exciting time for the congregation. It has always been blessed with innovative and talented lay leadership. I am convinced that the new Board of Trustees installed on June 27, 1993, will carry on in the educational and charitable programs and services provided by the Congregation to its membership and the community. In order to meet the challenges and demands of the next two years and beyond, it is essential that more members of the Congregation come forward and play a more active role in Congregational affairs. This could be as a member of various committees or through the auxiliaries (including Brotherhood, Sisterhood, or Golden Chai). It simply requires a telephone call to the office or to any member of the Board of Trustees. Your offer will not be ignored. $Jerry Gordon Message From our Temple Administrator: I wanted to take a moment, after three months as Temple Administrator, to thank the Congregation for their outstanding support and cooperation. The last three months have been both educational and a truly rewarding time for me. Also, the support shown by the Congregation during the Adult B'nai Mitzvah services was overwhelming. If only services could be that large every Shabbat. The purpose of my occasional articles will be twofold: to thank individuals and groups for special contributions of time and other resources to the Temple, and to elaborate on certain Temple policies that, as I observe events, may need to be expanded upon. I want to thank both Cal Lewis and the Brotherhood for their generous contributions to the Temple. Together, this will finalize a plan of computerization for the Temple Office set in motion over a year ago. Additionally, a commercial vacuum was purchased. Also, a new book cart and prayer books will soon be ordered. THANKS. Our Rabbi and Some of His Congregants of Ner Tamid at the Wailing Wall in Israel.

Wilner Advisor Rabbi Sanford Akselrad Ex Oficio While the Temple does not have a policy that requires dues to be paid monthly, we do have a policy that requires dues payments prior to B'nai Mitzvah, Religious School attendance and the High Holidays. Before your child's Bar / Bat Mitzvah you must be current on your Temple dues and have paid the B'nai Mitzvah fee at least three months prior to the date. Likewise, before your child or children can attend Religious School, you must be current on your dues and have paid the registration fees. Finally, before you can receive High Holiday tickets, your Temple dues must be 3/4 paid. As I have related to a number of you in the last three months, the Temple is willing to work with each of you on the matter of dues. While dues are established to place as little burden as possible, the Temple can not operate without your assistance. The Temple is here for you to worship and grow spiritually, please help us so we can provide the best to you. OMonty E. Willey?

In addition, Jackie has previously received the "Chapel of Four Chaplains" Award for work with the Jewish War Veterans, for U.S.O. entertainment and for serving on the Community Relations Committee. Jackie is especially interested in teaching the lessons of the Holocaust and hopes to publish her Holocaust Study Curriculum designed for small Jewish communities and communities without Jewish residents. This curriculum is based on a Holocaust study program she has taught and is currently being used in many school districts. Jackie's first concern for our children is motivation. She envisions a school that establishes its students' pride and raises their level of self-esteem as Jews in modem America. She believes every child is not a scholar, but every child can be given a chance to become an active participant in the Jewish faith. She seeks to enliven the scholastic environment of our school to inspire our children to live Judaism in everyday life. ----------________________________ Religious School Fees for the 1993-94 School Year: Grades K-8 $125 Thurs.

Phyllis Mark Receives "Great Lady Award" The Sisterhood of Congregation Ner Tamid had their Donor Dinner and Installation at Port Tack on June 3rd and presented the Great Lady Award to Phyllis Mark. The award was presented by Phyllis Lewis this year in absence of Leo Wilner, who had to be in Reno for a meeting. Leo Wilner has established this award in honor of his beloved wife, Mickey (Mildred). Phyllis Mark was recognized for her outstanding service to Sisterhood and her willingness to do whatever is needed. Phyllis has served the Sisterhood in many capacities: She is a past president, Program Vice President, and gift shop Chairperson and Benefactor in memory of her beloved husband, Norman Mark, to mention just a few of her contributions. As part of the Installation process that night, outgoing President Rita Moses-Malkin turned over her gavel to Helen Zliser, the Sisterhood's new president. The evening, chaired by Donor Chairperson, Sandy Ziskrout, was a smash with the performance of Alex Bradley, British cabaret singer who has entertained at the Dunes, the Union Plaza, and many Brown Bag Concerts; and has recently produced a CD, which will be?

Elections for officers have been held and the new Board is as follows: Robb Worth Libby Goldstein Jillian Kugler Brian Spoor Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Archivist and myself, Judy Kollins, as President. Also, we have appointed positions, including Social Action Chairperson, David Chenin; Religious Chairperson, Katie Feldman; and Social Chairperson, Matt Gordon. NTTY topped off the year with our annual Board Installation and Swim Party with old and new members. We wish to thank the Worth family for allowing us the use of their lovely home for a great evening. NTTY is planning a few social events for the summer months, but our weekly meetings will not resume until late August. Also, August is next year's first regional event, SWFTY Camp, which will be a super week spent at Camp Charles Pearlstein in Prescott, Arizona with youth groups from all over the Southwest. If you are going to be in high school this fall, we would be thrilled to have you join us in any and all of these events.

Special Message from the President of Golden Chai: As we celebrate July 4th, 1993, with flags flying, fireworks bursting, families on picnics, we know our independence and freedom are still working in a democratic republic. Or are they??? When six men in the service of protecting our President are denied service from a well-known restaurant chain, when white supremists and Neo- Nazis claim to represent a white Christian America only, when church and state are no longer separate, are we truly celebrating independence? I think it's time to re-read our Declaration of Independence, study it well, and demand that it be upheld and protected with the fervor it was written! This 4th of July let us pray for renewed patriotism, renewed faith in a free government of the People, by the People, for the People. America calls, with freedom to worship, to learn, to assemble, to debate any issue; a land where a family can find a home, where there is work, where people will be heard and where they are free to come and go and search for a better life!

Membership Treasurer Secretary Lenard Gropman Allan Nathanson Joseph Schwartz Bert Rosenberg Marty Grower Jack Nitzkin Jeff Resnick Outgoing Brotherhood President Says Farewell This is the year the Brotherhood came into its own. As I'm sure you are aware, The Brotherhood is one of the Fund Raising Arms of our Temple. We attracted new members, not with just a mind set that they had a place to go to get together with the guys, but a way to assist in the raising of funds and a new found source of energy. Our Fund Raising began with our annual 4th of July Fireworks Booth. It was so successful that this year, thanks to Lenny Gropman and Jeff Resnick, in addition to our regular booth, we erected a booth in the Temple parking lot for pre-sales on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings in order to make it more convenient for you to purchase Fireworks. We next embarked on a sales campaign for the 1993 Entertainment Book. Your support was very gratifying to the tune of more than doubling last year's sales. Our Yom Hashoash Holocaust Yahrzeit Candles Drive coupled with our Repair the Torah Appeal brought to the forefront the fact that you, our Congregants, care about our past, present and future. Our dedicated VP of Religious Activities, Joe Schwartz, once again did an admirable job of putting together an Usher Corps for the High Holy Days as well as our Friday Night Sabbath services. 1 must admit that it wasn't all work and no play. This year we hosted our First Annual Putting Classic Tournament at Angel Park. It was so successful that on May 1st we had our Second Annual Spring Fling Putting Tournament and Bar-B- Que. Participants included Men and Women with no putting experience to those who would like to give up work to play golf full time. They all had a great time, ask Rita Malkin, President of our Sisterhood. We had a Family Night out to watch UNLV Basketball Team beat up on New Mexico State and we are now planning a Family Night out to watch the Las Vegas Stars. In the coming year look for many new and exciting events like a Dinner Dance and $10,000 Cash Raffle in addition to our Golf Putting Tournaments and Family Night Outs, just to mention a few. We will once again be selling the Entertainment Book and 4th of July Fireworks. None of our successes could have been achieved without the dedication of members like Allan Nathanson who deserves a special thanks for all the hours and hard work he put in to make each and every event the success that it was. Most of all, I want to take this opportunity to thank you, our Temple Congregants, your participation made this past year very rewarding for every member of the Brotherhood. $Steve Joseph President1 0 Congregation Ner Tamid ?

The large area, the Temple Mount, was surrounded by a wall. This year, July 27th is "...the Jewish Holiday of Tisha B'Av, or the Fast of Av. The ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av became a day of sadness and mourning for Jews all over the world because of the destruction of the Temple (Bet Hamikdash) in Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E. and the Romans in 70 C.E.; both happening on that date. "Many Jews fast on this day and attend services. In the temple the service is usually held in semi-darkness. Only the light from the Eternal Light (Ner Tamid) or from memorial candles is visible...."
