We are sad to announce that Marsha Cohen died peacefully in her home this morning, on Monday, March 1st, with her beloved husband Les by her side.
The Memorial Service will be held at Temple Sinai this coming Monday, March 7th at 11:00 a.m., with a catered Meal of Condolence to follow.
The Cohen family will be observing three days of shiva, receiving community members at 5:30 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for shiva minyan in their home. You may bring food to shiva, as is our custom (though Les says "please, no casseroles!").
For shiva and/or condolence notes, the Cohen's address is:
Les Cohen

The Reno Gazette Journal hosts Faith Forum on Sundays. A question is answered by clergy from many faiths. Rabbi Beyer provides the Jewish response.
RGJ asked: Is it better to pray or meditate?
Prayer and Meditation
There are many ways to communicate with G-d. Tefillah (prayer) is the traditional notion of speaking with G-d from the prayer book or words from the heart. Many have a practice of praying several times a day. Mindfulness and a positive attitude are encouraged by saying blessings every day being grateful for life, food, and praising G-d for everything G-d does.
Sages speak about many types of meditation, including hitbonenute - contemplation and hitbodedute - self seclusion. Some focus on "emptiness." Kabbalistic meditative mystical practice may focus on Divine names. Many suggest active meditation which fully engages the mind. Its goal is to prepare the heart and mind, moving the ego aside in order to connect with the Life of the Worlds. According to Rebbe Nachman, many holy people find the only way to achieve lofty spiritual insight is through meditation. Prayer or meditation may be truly heartfelt. Both are necessary.
Faith Forum appears each Sunday in the Local Life Section of the Reno Gazette Journal. Faith Forum clergy answer a question posed each week and responses in the paper are limited to 150 words. Rabbi Beyer is featured as the "Jewish" response. In February 2016 it will be 5 YEARS for Faith Forum column to run in the RGJ. This interfaith group is now working towards a book which would be an edited collection of these columns. See www.nevadafaithforum.org
