OUR SHABBOS GREETERS
Michael Gutman and Joni Pelta
This week’s Torah portion discusses the mitzva of inheritance (see (Bamidbar
27:8)
Two sofrim drove together to return repaired Torah scrolls to the shul. One of
them needed to use the restroom. There was no restroom immediately
available so they decided to pull into the first building available, which
happened to be a non-Jewish funeral home. As they walked into the funeral
home they saw that there was a funeral in session. The two men decided to
join the small group escorting the dead in order to be respectful. One of the
ushers gave them a guest book to sign and they signed their names and
addresses.
Shortly afterwards both of the sofrim received a letter from the lawyer of the
deceased describing that the deceased's last name was Goldstein. Mr.
Goldstein left a will that stipulated that he wanted his entire estate to be
divided between those who came to his funeral. Each of the men would
receive a check of $100,000. The sofrim wondered if they could keep the
money. First of all, the deceased was a Jewish man and he must have some
living relatives. According to the Torah laws of inheritance the estate should be
diverted to the closest living relatives.
Secondly, was it honest to keep the money? They never really planned to go to
the funeral. They only went there to use the restroom, but ended up staying
out of respect. What do you think?
Answer to last week’s moral dilemma
Many are of the opinion that the prohibition of sharing private information is
only when it causes the owner harm. In this case, however, he will give Dr.
Berman a benefit of earning more money. Other opinions say that this would
not be permitted because one cannot share private information even if it will
not cause any harm.
LAST CALL FOR YAHRZEIT PLAQUES

LADIES “BURST OF INSPIRATION” CLASS SPONSOR
Thank you to Randy and Cory Shaw for sponsoring this week’s class in honor of their son
Josh’s 21st birthday
THANK YOU FROM CAMP SHAMAYIM!
Camp Shamayim thanks the Ariel community for opening their hearts and homes to the
counselors during this year’s camp. Camp Shamayim loves Congregation Areil!
MORE THANK YOU’S
To Sandee Glassman for helping with kiddush preparation last week with
some of our “regulars” out of town.
To Sharon Fleitman, Allison Thomas and Amanda Bunder for their ongoing efforts at
shopping for and preparing our kiddushes every week.
Your hard work is really appreciated!
AND... SPEAKING OF KIDDUSHES
We very much need to expand our Shabbos Kiddush Crew. We encourage everyone at all
“ages and stages” to just pick one slot every three months,; this would greatly lighten the
load on those who step forward week after week to set up our kiddushes.
Husbands! Offer to watch the kids for a while or take them to groups so your wife can
help out – you’ll be doing your part too!
Newcomers! Setting up kiddush is a fun and social way to give back to the shul
and get to know the community.
Long-timers! Come forward and join us – you’ll never feel more appreciated!
Bonus!
To avoid the hassle of signing up through the kiddush website, just email the office and let
us know when you’re available - we’ll do the sign up for you. shuloffice@congariel.org
SEED PROGRAM STARTS IN A WEEK!
Next week we will welcome this year’s SEED program to the Ariel community.
We will introduce you to the participants in next week’s bulletin. We look forward to two
weeks of Torah learning and ruach with the always-amazing SEED guys.
CALLING ALL THOSE WITH “GREEN THUMBS”!
We know there are some great gardens in the Ariel community. If any of our gardeners
find themselves with extra produce that they can’t use, keep the shul in mind – we are
happy to incorporate some of your bounty, especially salad items, into our kiddush menus.
OUR SECOND YOUTH CHALLAH BAKE AND SHABBOS SING-A-LONG
