- Let's look up from our book/newspaper/computer/blackberry/cell phone to acknowledge HUMANITY BEFORE TECHNOLOGY! Smile and greet.
- Be the FIRST to say hello and genuinely ask that person about their well being. Patiently with sincere interest wait for their reply.
- Introduce yourself to someone you do not know in shul, at meetings and at social gatherings. Make introductions among friends by asking "do you know each other".
- When you are in a conversation with someone in a public area- shul, social gatherings or Central Avenue and another acquaintance walks by- look up, acknowledge them and invite them to join your conversation and say: for example, we were just talking about....
- Smile, greet and start a friendly conversation with a person from a different background. You will be pleasantly surprised by how much you have in common.

The Shofar Blast As A Call To Conscience About People With Disabilities
By: Shira Dicker
Last week, I was delighted to receive a beautiful and creative virtual Rosh Hashana greeting card consisting of footage of people blowing Shofar around the world. A product of a new project called Art Kibbutz NYC, this "Shofar FlashMob" depicted a glorious gathering of Jews the world over in celebration of the coming Jewish New Year. Included in this greeting card were Shofar blowers from Budapest, New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, San Francisco and other cities. There were adults and small children. The sight brought a smile to my lips.

Aok Small Favors Dear Friends: No doubt this article is provocative, and I thought long and hard about publishing it. Sometimes it is important to understand the views that are out there and determine what the definition of "tolerance" is. If you are friends with someone, do you condone their behavior, if you are into kiruv, is there a thought that you can influence others to do what you feel is proper, or keep open lines of communications among all Jews. I dont know the answer for everyone, I know the answer for myself. I have published this, to give you some pause...please feel free to email me with your thoughts. Suri Get Over It By: Joel Moskowitz Some time ago I read a wonderful opinion by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach in the Jewish Week. In it, he described how he balances his tolerance of homosexuals with his strict adherence to Halacha, Jewish Law. Basically, he said, he treats everyone equally. Just as he has friends that don't observe the Sabbath or don't eat strictly kosher, he has gay friends. While he may not subscribe to their lifestyle or choices, they are nonetheless his friends, whom he embraces and loves as any others. The following week, in the letters section, a prominent Orthodox Rabbi, son in law to one of the most revered Halachic authorities of the twentieth century, quoted the verse in Leviticus, which describes a specific sexual act as "an abomination." He used this verse to say that there can be no tolerance of homosexuality in Judaism, period. While I cannot argue against his academic or rabbinic credentials, I couldn't help but laugh, actually, guffaw. This Rabbi has two sons, let me repeat, two sons, who were thrown out of their positions as communal Rabbis, for taking sexual advantage of vulnerable women in their respective communities. This Torah giant, stalwart defender of G-d's laws found the time to criticize a Rabbi whose only sin appears to be tolerance and love for people no matter what. This was so important to him, that he shed any sense of humility, to humiliate others in the name of his perceived sense of right. FOR MORE, CLICK HERE

Traditional Meal Ending Holy Days Becomes an Event By MARK OPPENHEIMER, NYTimes, October 1, 2011
When Jill Medvedow, the director of the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, was growing up, she broke her fast after Yom Kippur at home, with just her family. After she married, she would go to her mother-in-law's house for the annual meal known as the break-fast. But when her mother-in-law left Boston, Ms. Medvedow and her husband became break-fast orphans.
There was no shortage of invitations, but some of them seemed, well, unappetizing.
"A number of break-fasts had gotten catered," Ms. Medvedow said. "They were really big. They were parties. We wanted something homemade, intimate, flexible and warm, at the end of a day that we take seriously."
In one sense, it's hard to mess up a break-fast. Yom Kippur, which begins next Friday night and ends Saturday night, is the Jewish Day of Atonement, the culmination of 10 days of contemplation, self-renewal and rededication to the path of righteousness. After such extended religious labor, capped off by a day without food or drink, the parched and hungry Jew is happy with whatever nourishment comes.
But in recent years, the break-fast party has become part of the Jewish social calendar. From Los Angeles to Chicago to New York, many are attending large, crowded break-fasts, where the spirit of the High Holy Days can get lost in the mixing, and where the day's solemnity quickly abates, smothered by large quantities of cream cheese and hummus.

The Avraham Yonah Reading Group
There are many people in our community who are home bound or for various reasons cannot get out often and seldom have visitors. The Avraham Yonah Reading Group is a volunteer group consisting mostly of women, who go to these peoples homes and read to them. It gives these individuals an opportunity to make friends, have consistent visitors and know that others care about them.
The organization is intended to help people who are home bound, elderly, ill and in treatment or anyone else who may benefit from this service. Volunteers will visit the individuals home for approximately 1/2 - 1 hour, and will either read a book, learn Torah, play a game or just talk with the person depending on their preference. There will be a different volunteer going each day of the week, depending on how many days are requested by the person in need. It is hoped that each volunteer will continue to visit on the same day of every week.
If you know of anyone who could benefit from this service, please contact us.
We hope you will be interested in volunteering to be a part of this wonderful chessed and join us in reaching out to our friends and neighbors who are in need and hopefully making a difference in their lives.
To volunteer, please contact:
