Community Prayer
From Loss to Hope
Tisha B’Av to Tu B’Av.
Loss and reaching out to God for healing. We focus on someone we love.
Meditation is transforming.
Focusing on our parents, children,
congregation family,
we empty our minds of negativity
and concentrate love, health, and prosperity
to those we love.
Honor our mothers and fathers,
our neighbors, children, friends.
We hold them in the sacred space,
Your hand, our heart.
We thank You for giving us
the people in our lives.
We are praying every day.
We are healing every day.
Amen

Classes with Rabbi Jamie
iEngage: Foundations for a New Relationship
Join us for Engaging Israel: Foundations for a New Relationship, an exploration of the significance of Israel for Jewish life. Engaging Israel is a series of nine lectures and conversations with scholars from the Shalom Hartman Institute that responds to growing feelings of disenchantment and disinterest toward Israel among an ever-increasing number of Jews worldwide by creating a new narrative regarding the significance of Israel for Jewish life. Lecture and discussion participants include Rabbi Dr. Donniel Hartman, Dr. Tal Becker, Yossi Klein-Halevi, Rabbi Dr. Rachel Sabath Beit-Halachmi, Prof. Gil Troy and others. This class will be taught online using the video modules followed by live, interactive group discussion.

Honorable Menschen
We are sorry to report that the two Jersey girls, Roz Tessler and Harriet Bernstein, are moving back to their home state. They have been such a huge part of Congregation P’nai Tikvah for decades. When we had garage sales, those two ladies worked hard in the heat of summer to make the sales a success. When the board needed another member, Roz stepped up to the plate and, with her sweet smile and positive attitude, did what was needed to help our little shul grow and thrive. When a bunch of adults got it into their keppies that they wanted to become a bar/bat mitzvah, who was it who tutored them until they were able to read Hebrew? Roz, of course! In addition to all of this, for several years Roz took on the delicate job of awarding High Holiday aliyot to congregants, a job done with sensitivity and talent. We have been together through joy and sorrows, and we have each come out of it closer and wiser.
We will greatly miss Roz and Harriet, but not as much as the feral cats who were tenderly cared for by them. (Don’t worry…the neighbors will take over their care.) In gratitude for their many years of congregational service, the board of CPT awards two lifetime honorary memberships to our beloved friends. We look forward to seeing you on Zoom! We wish these two lovely sisters good health and nachas!
Congregation P’nai Tikvah Shoe Drive Mitzvah Project
Congregation P’nai Tikvah is having a fundraiser collecting gently used shoes benefitting both CPT and underserved nations as recipients of the donated shoes. All who can participate, hurray!! Please clean out your closets and donate any shoes, sneakers, boots, recreational shoes, high heels and children’s shoes. All types of shoes are needed as long as they are gently used, meaning they must be in wearable condition. We have a goal of 250 pairs of shoes to qualify for the funding. Ideally, we are looking for each participant to donate 25 pairs of shoes. Please feel free to collect from your friends and neighbors living in the local area. If a participant chooses to collect outside their immediate area, they will have to pay for their own shipping.
East Cost Florida participants:
please contact Faith Silverman: Secretary@pnaitikvahlv.org
Las Vegas Collection areas will be:
Westside – Iris Katz: irisbarbarakatz@icloud.com
Eastside – Kristen Jaeger: kjaeger410@gmail.com or 702-600-9835
Receipt of Shoes: Must arrive at collection points in pairs, either in a shoe box or in separate bags, tied or banded together. Please also count and label the number of pairs dropped off.
Please feel free to contact Kristen Jaeger: 702-600-9835 with any questions.

It’s Complicated
Like many of us, I have a life-long relationship with Israel. I made aliyah at 22, lived and loved there for years, have family and friends there, and I know that I am safer in the world because Israel is there as my home base.

Fortune Cookies and 2021
Parashat Vayihi, 2021 Last Thursday night was Christmas Eve and like many Jews around the world, I celebrated with take-out Chinese food and Kung Pao Kosher Comedy. The garlic eggplant and moshu vegetables were delicious but the fortune cookies were extraordinary. ...
