August 2004 Vol. XVIII No. 7 IT Greet Our New Student Rabbi Kim Ettlinger Friday, September 10th Student Rabbi Kim Ettlinger is a 5th year rabbinic student at the Los Angeles campus of the Hebrew Union College, Jewish Institute of Religion. While interning at Congregation Ner Tamid, Kim will also work as a medical chaplain for UCLA Hospital. Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Kim and her parents attended Temple Israel, the flagship Reform Temple in Johannesburg. It was at Temple Israel that Kim developed a love for Hebrew and Judaism. In late 1988, Kim and her family moved from Johannesburg to Perth, Western Australia where she attended High School and College. After High School, in 1994, Kim went to Israel for a year with the Labour Zionist youth movement, Habonim Dror. Upon her return to Perth, she completed her BA in Politics, Philosophy and Sociology at Murdoch University. During this time, Kim affirmed her desire to pursue rabbinic studies and she applied to both HUC and the Leo Baeck College in London. After her acceptance into both programs, she chose Leo Baeck as she felt that it was more in-line with her Commonwealth roots. After a year, Kim decided to transfer to HUC for a different experience. While at HUC, Kim's internship was at Fleichal Baoranim in Flagstaff, Arizona where she stayed for two years. Last year, Kim completed her Masters in Jewish Education and during this year, she interned at Temple Judea in Los Angeles. Her primary responsibilities included coordinating the Bar/Bat mitzvah program and the school's Tikkun Olam program. Kim comes to us after serving as student Rabbi for the Victorian Union for Progressive Judaism in Melbourne, Australia. Please join us Friday, September 10th, as we welcome Kim to our congregational family. Av/l4 Elul 5764 Tell Your Friends, Tell Your Neighbors!

This means 75% of your Annual Dues plus 75% of this year's Building Fund Commitment. For example: If your Building Fund Assessment Total were $2,500 (your full 5 ye^ commitment), you would need to have? minimum of $375 paid towards your 2004 BF Commitment ($2,500 divided by 5 = $500 X 75%=$375). If your Annual Dues were $2000, you would also need to have a minimum of $1,500 paid towards your 2004 Annual Dues ($2,000X75%=$1,500). In total, you would need to have $1,875 paid towards your 2004 Annual Commitment in order to receive your High Holy Day Tickets. (These are only examples; your actual Commitment amounts may differ.) If you have any questions or need to speak about any of these numbers, please feel free to contact Irv in the temple office. High Holy Days Reserved Parking Spaces Available!

It journey on the way to becoming a Rabbi for the Reform Movement. I was a part of a jSf f small group of students labeled "second career students," who are constantly asked, "why did you change careers?" My response will always be the same. Even though I was a Board Member of this congregation, attended services regularly and volun- Cv teerec* ?ften- I wanted to be able to combine my vocation with my avocation - to combine my love of Judaism with the ability to help others on their own Jewish I journeys. As this is being mailed to you, I am starting my last week as the Rabbinic Intern at CNT (my last service here is on Saturday, August 7th, before moving to Los Angeles to continue my studies at Hebrew Union College). By taking on a Rabbinic Intern, you are all involved in the shaping of new rabbinic leadership for the Reform Movement and, for that, I personally thank you ... these kinds of learning opportunities are few and far between. More particularly, though, I want to thank you for trusting me this summer to lead your worship services; to teach the Introduction to Judaism and Basic Hebrew Reading classes; to be with you during your families' times of need; and to guide our Tuesday night discussions, where we talked about so many different aspects of Judaism, and how Judaism is practiced in so many different areas of the world. Thank you for sharing your thirst for Jewish knowledge. Finally, I would like to thank Rabbi Akselrad for his guidance and mentoring, as well as all of the rest of the staff that keeps CNT going ... and all of you. It has been an honor and a pleasure to learn from, and with, you. As I leave for LA, I encourage each of you to take some time to figure out where you are in your own Jewish journey ... and take just a few steps forward on that path. After a year in ^^ael, my Jewish journey takes me next to LA, but I will see you on my next trip home to Las Vegas ... Cookie Olshein It's hard to believe how fast summer is going by. High Holiday Choir rehearsals began in mid-July and everyone is working diligently to be prepared for the Holy days. If you are interested in joining the group please do so now!! (You know it's a mitzvah to sing in choir at CNT and it's fun too!) Over the summer I get a chance to plot and plan for the new year, and after attending the American Conference of Cantors national conference, I returned with many wonderful ideas and renewed energy. I participated in several different workshops and particularly enjoyed learning some new techniques as well as many beautiful melodies for myself and both of our choirs. I was treated to concerts performed by some of the most renowned Cantors from all over the nation. This was a wonderful learning experience and I look forward to sharing some of what I brought back with my congregational family. ^Bialom, Philip August 2004- 3 Renewal Time As we all start preparing for High Holidays (yes, it's true, it's not too early for us here at CNT in the office), I'd like to touch on Membership, and responsibilities. Some thoughts for you to consider: A ? In order for your membership to be fulfilling, take advantage of the many offerings to advance you on your Jewish journey (we've spoken of those opportunities before, in this ? Membership is not just about paying dues and fees. When you join a synagogue, you are participating in a sacred partnership between yourself and the community, to be there for one another during the ups and downs in one another's lives. Annual Commitment Irv To clarify the Temple's policy, 75% of your Annual Commitment must be paid in order to receive your High Holy Day Tickets. This means 75% of your Annual Dues plus 75% of this year's Building Fund Commitment. For an example, see page 2 of this month's bulletin. The New Campus Campaign is continuing on schedule. In anticipation of celebrating the opening of our new campus during High Holidays in should be completed this fall. Jon Sparer, our architect, and his design team in collaboration with the Design Committee is working toward a submission of plans and specifications to the City of Henderson Building Department this fall. This coming High Holidays we will all have aa opportunity to view renderings of our new facility. Finally, under tfl direction of Drew Levy, we are accelerating our marketing efforts regarding our present facility. ? 4 www.lvnertamici.oi-g column), vvnetner it s prayer, study, or tinaing ways to connect meanmgtuiiy to b-a, yourseit and/or to one another, you can find it here at Congregation Ner Tamid. But you have to participate; it won't just come to you. You have to invest some time, and when you do, the rewards will flow! ? CNT is open and serving our congregants and community every day, every week, and every year. Although you might not "use" the Temple daily, we are here daily so that when you do "use" it, we're here for you. Your dues and fees must cover the expenses for our entire staff, the operations, security, repairs and maintenance, programs, etc. We rely on your contributions. We simply could not survive without them. ? It is our policy not to deprive anyone of membership, regardless of their ability to pay. In order to do this, we rely on the generosity of those with greater capacity. If you can, please consider increasing your pledge even a little, so that we may serve the numerous families who want to participate but cannot. ? The cost of educating our children exceeds the tuition we charge. Part of this shortfall is covered by dues, but we also rely on fund-raising efforts during the year. When we raise funds, we are raising funds for basics, not luxuries. Please keep this thought in mind all throughout the year. As your Executive Director for over 2 years, I am always anxious to help you in any way that I can, to navigate your way through our large temple community, and help you find the ways of involvement that will be most meaningful to you. Please feel free at anytime to call me, or come in and see me. Our sacred partnership depends upon it. Thank you, and as always, to be continued ..._________________________________________________________________Your Temple Board Scott Stolberg scott_stolberg@yahoo.com Marla Latizia ^Btizia@aol.com Mike Unger pmomike@aol.com Hillary Torchin htorchin@aol.com Maxine Molinsky mmolinsky@theriviera.com David Shapin david@vegasvoiceover.com Andrea Harris candiandi@cox.net David Stahl stahllv@cox.net Debbie Levy dlevy1107@aol.com Yvonne Gordon tobeach@hotmail.com Nanette Spector iranan@aol.com Jordie Primack closings3@yahoo.com Stacey Yahraus siymom620@aol.com Debra Cohen 1mitch@aol.com nie Matusow globern@lvcm.com Beth Bromberg fystee2@aol.com Beth Falk bethf1210@aol.com Joe Cracraft jcracraft@earthlink.net Cindy Jensen ckjensen@cox.net Sheryl Chenin-Webb scheninwebb@cox.net Fred Toffel ftoffel@pol.net Jen Zuckerman jenlynn121@aol.com Dr. Stewart Blumenfeld Drew Levy Bob Unger, Esq Jerry Gordon, Esq Cal Lewis Eileen Kollins Kenneth Schnitzer Dr. David Wasserman Dr. Steve Kollins JJon.

Have you ever noticed the older we get the faster time seems to go by? It seems like just yesterday that we were having the last day of religious school, celebrating the Adult B'nai Mitzvah, and holding the temple Annual Meeting and BBQ. These are all things that signal the beginning of the calm before the storm at CNT. I want to start by thanking again those who have recently left the temple board for all of their work and time. I also want to welcome the new members who have vol?unteered their precious time. I also want to extend a special welcome to our rabbinic intern, Kim Ettlinger. Kim will be with us on September 10 for the first time. She will also join us for High Holy Days and once a month for the rest of the year. So when you see her, introduce yourself and show herwhy our congre?gation is " A Special Place to Belong". If you have not already registered your children for religious school for 2004/2005, please contact the office as soon as possible to do so. We expect 200 plus children to enroll and it is much easier for us to order books and other materials if we know who will be attending. Otherwise, we have to estimate and sometimes we may have too many of one book and not enough of others. As many of you know, the first day is always hectic as children find their classrooms and parents leave little ones for the first time. September 12 is just around the corner so please register today. This is also the beginning of the annual Shul Shopping season when most of our new members join leading up to High Holy Days. David Shapin, VP of Membership recruitment, is hard at work with several events planned between now and High Holy Days. You can help just by showing up at these events, and introducing yourself to someone you do not know. It could be someone who is already a member. If that is the case, you simply made a new friend. When you meet a prospective member, tell them why you joined CNT. If they have questions, get them in touch with Irv, David, or any other board member who can answer them. Encourage them to join for all the other stuff besides High Holy Day services. Remember, we are in the busi?ness of making Jews but first we must get them in the door. The Men's Club and Sisterhood are also beginning their programming for the year and you can expect to hear plenty from them about all of the exciting things they have planned. Remember, supporting these auxiliaries helps them support the congregation. Our youth groups will be meeting to plan many fun and educational activities as well. Of course, there are a multitude of adult educational opportunities. Please look in this bulletin or the weekly temple happening and e-mail for more details. I have one other request - for several months now we have been sending out the bulletin both regular mail and by e-mail. If you prefer to receive yours by e-mail please contact the office and let them know that. It saves printing and postage costs and allows you to save it on your computer for reference throughout the month, no more looking around the house to find out when something is happening. With all of the planning that has taken place this summer, this year looks to be one of the best. Our programs will continue to reach out to all seg?ments of our temple family and there is always something for everyone. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Some of them sold all their things hoping to gather enough money not to lose their home, some were robbed, some had to leave everything behind as they left their former home. Many of the children are sick with colds and flu because of being exposed to the elements. How is it these families recover and get re?established? It happens because of YOU/ Because of the time you give, the love you give, the clothing, the food, the shelter and everything else we give.
