In the CSFA Community
Like all communities, CSFA is made up of individuals, each with his or her own special attributes. We pride ourselves on the number of our members who actively participate in the functioning of our shul, working tirelessly to make sure that our building is kept in good repair; that bulletins and event flyers are produced regularly and on time; that bills are paid; that food is provided and cleanup is performed whenever required; that the garden is planted, weeded and watered; that activities and classes are scheduled and advertised—the list goes on and on, and our members do it all, with the energetic help of our office administrator, Leslie Gibel. In this space we want to recognize and show appreciation for all of this effort. We also want to help our members celebrate significant milestones in their lives and show our support when needed. See below also for congregational Birthday and Anniversary greetings, and a listing of Yahrzeits for the current month. Please email the Web Coordinator if you have a message or other information that should appear here.
MESSAGES TO THE CONGREGATION
- Todah Rabbah and Yascher Koach to everyone who pitched in to help us meet our goal for the $25,000 in matching funds provided by an anonymous donor. This was truly a community-wide effort, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to the donor who stepped forward to stimulate our more generous impulses.
- We welcome Cantor Moses back to the bima following her maternity leave. It’s good to hear your voice again!
- Yascher Koach to Herbert Rubin, who was featured in an article in the New York Times on February 21st about attornerys over 90 who have active careers. We congratulate you on your many professional accomplishments and your honorable service to the legal profession. May you continue to enjoy years of success and good health.
- Yascher Koach and Todah Rabbah to Leslie Penn, Harold Anfang, Cynthia Berman, Howard Baker and everyone else who helped with CSFA’s Shlach Manot program—sending letters, tabulating responses, preparing gift bags and delivering them, and sending notifications. Todah Rabbah also to everyone who sent Shlach Manot, an important fund-raiser for CSFA.
- Todah Rabbah As Always to Rozanne Seelen for the fresh flowers that grace our sanctuary every Shabbat. Thanks for helping make Shabbat special for all of us!
- Congratulations and good luck to Melissa Green and Les Taub on the launch of their new business venture, Play Fair Sports, Inc. Their goal is to provide ethics and sportsmanship training for young athletes and their parents, through schools, Little Leagues, town recreation centers, etc. Please visit their website at www.playfairsports.com for more information, and pass the word to anyone you think might be interested.
