So, the salesperson at the other end of
the counter asks, "Can I help you?" My
routine response is to look at them
blankly and say, "Is it that obvious I
need help?"

Really. I say that all the time. It elicits
a variety of reactions -- mostly positive.
It is full of pithy statements such as:
"Hillel used to say, "Don't separate yourselves from the community.""
"Another thing that Hillel used to say is,
"In a place where there are not human
beings, strive to be one.""
What is it that you say all the
time? Have you ever thought to write
them down? It would be a noble task.
Our Temple Beth Hillel Board of Trustees has been studying Pirke Avot every
month for ten years. We just finished. This is a major accomplishment.
We have a book of the lines that our
rabbis of old would say all the time. It
is actually part of our Mishnah. It is
the book of Avot and is sometimes referred to as Pirke Avot or Wisdom of
the Fathers.
We are taking up a new study -- the
book of Ecclesiastes. Hopefully, we will
finish this endeavor several years from
now.
B'shalom,
Rabbi G.
SISTERHOOD =
L OV E
Love was in the air (and in the
challah) at the February Sisterhood
meeting!
Edie Chernack created a delicious
treat ("...with a little help from her
friend" and 'Sister' Sue Weinman) to
share with all the Sisterhood members. Edie said she wanted to bake this
special challah for the Sisterhood
members because we are all sisters
and she wanted to share something
from her heart with us all. Thank you,
Edie—it was delicious!
