As this season of Hanukkah ends and we extinguish our miraculous lights of freedom, the world mourns the loss of another shining light.
We mourn the passing of a great man and leader, Nelson Mandela.
He leaves behind a legacy as a man who worked tirelessly to bring democracy, freedom and racial equality to South Africa.
Mandela brought together several powerful world leaders to address global issues. The group's work impacted Asia, the Middle East and Africa in several areas, including women's issues, humanitarian issues and the promotion of democracy.
Let us kindle our inner lights and strive to be beacons for others.
Let us lead by example as Nelson Mandela did and be a true inspiration to others.
Let's go out and make our world a better place for everyone!
Shabbat Shalom,
Kristine Goldstein
President

This Week's Torah Portion

Parashat Vayeishev [Jacob] SettledParashat Mikeitz After [Two Years]Parashat Mikeitz After [Two Years]
Genesis 41:1−44:17
At the end of two years' time Pharaoh had a dream: there he was, standing by the Nile, when seven cows came up out of the Nile, handsome and fat. - Genesis 41:1-2
SUMMARY:
Joseph interprets Pharaoh's two dreams and predicts seven years of prosperity followed by seven years of famine. (41:1-32)
Pharaoh places Joseph in charge of food collection and distribution. (41:37-49)
Joseph marries Asenath, and they have two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. (41:50-52)
When Joseph's brothers come to Egypt to buy food during the famine, Joseph accuses them of spying. He holds Simeon hostage while the rest of the brothers return to Canaan to retrieve Benjamin for him. (42:3-42:38)
The brothers return to Egypt with Benjamin and for more food. Joseph continues the test, this time falsely accusing Benjamin of stealing and declaring that Benjamin must remain his slave. (43:1-44:17)

"How Might Jews React At This Season Of The Year?"
Jews react differently to what goes on around them at this holy year end season.
What might our reactions be to the saturation of our society with symbols, secular and religious? Are there appropriate and inappropriate ways of behaving? How do you respond?
Join Rabbi Tom in worship as he explores this perennial problem in his sermonic remarks. Assisting the rabbi in the presentation of the service will be baalei t'filah/experts in prayer, members of this year's B'nai Mitzvah class.

The Mavens are alive --- Fifty-five and over group starting
Because of the growing numbers of seniors in the congregation, a small group of seniors met on Sunday to discuss the starting of a group to meet regularly for social and religious activities.
First, let us send our good wishes for a speedy recovery to Ed Eichler, who suffered a fall when exiting the meeting.
It was decided to name the group The Mavens, which in Hebrew means an expert with a strong understanding of life and to open the group at no charge to congregants and non-member alike.
We plan on having at least one meeting or activity each month, beginning in January. Until we move into our new building, if there is no outside activity we will meet in the building where we have our religious school, Mountain View Prep, 2320 Baker Road, Acworth.
Our first meeting is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, January 12 at 1:00pm followed by a late lunch.

The Book Thief, coming to theaters this Friday
Coming to theaters this Friday: an utterly transporting movie based on a best-selling young-adult novel, about a brave young heroine who learns the power of friendship and perseverance at a time when evil forces bring war to her doorstep.
See an interview with the director, author and star, Sophie Nélisse, who in the film is given up for adoption after her sickly younger brother dies and spends time in the basement with a boy being hidden from the Nazis. Indeed, although the story takes place in one of history's grimmest hours, "The Book Thief " is imbued with a spirit of hope. Click to read the entire interview, with Peach Puzz columnist Jennifer Brett
The book, published in 2005, spent years on the New York Times Best Seller list.
