March 4th and 5th will be here in a wink.
Let Arzei Darom Sisterhood take care of the stress
Creative packages with finesse.
All members are invited to participate in this year's Mishloach Manot
Project. Send greetings to the entire Arzei Community for only $120.
Don't miss out on this wonderful way to send beautiful Purim greetings to
your friends and neighbors. It's simple... just complete the attached
form and return it to the shul with your payment by February 13th.
Please contact purim@arzeidarom.org if you have any questions.
Care One Chesed Opportunity
Every week, Arzei Darom sends volunteers to visit the patients at CareOne.
They spend a couple of hours, performing the mitzvah of bikur cholim, by
visiting with patients at Care One who have requested visitors. Some
families have decided to go together and many bring their children along.
For each family, the experience is unique, but every one of those visits is
greatly appreciated.
We want to thank the following families who have made this a great project
over the past year: Borodach, Rosenbluth, Katzwer, Tyler, Grunstein,
Goldgewert, Rothstein, Rubenstein, Cohen, Taubes, Sarue, Kahn, Weiss and
Shore.
But most of all we want to thank Susan Taubes for coordinating this chesed
opportunity. As we begin a new calendar year, now is the time to either join
the rotation or if your time commitments on shabat afternoon have
changed, to drop off the list. Because so many families participate, the
commitment is to visit Care One, once every three to four months.
If you wish to be added to or removed from the rotation, please e-mail
Susan Taubes at bikurcholim@arzeidarom.org, so we can have an organized
schedule each Shabbat.

you would like to help organize the Onegs, please contact or speak to David
Tyler at davidwilliamtyler@yahoo.com.
Kiddush Cooperative 2015
We have finished our second cycle of the Kiddush Cooperative and based on
feedback from members, it continues to be a nice addition to our kiddush
calendar allowing a group of families to sponsor at least seven to eight
times a year a hot and delicious kiddush. Thus, we would like to start our
third cycle following the yeshiva break. In order to do that we need at least
twenty four families to participate at a cost of $200 per family. This is an
excellent way to sponsor kiddush at a very reasonable price. While we
typically order from our local vendors, we welcome feedback from Kiddush
Cooperative members on what types of menus they would like to see.
Thank you to the following families who have joined this year's Kiddush
Cooperative: Adams, Alt, Barber, Barta, Blass, Blech, Borodach, Carman,
Distenfeld, Einhorn, Eisenman, Levin, Polinsky, Rabitz, Rivkin, Rose and
Anonymous families for your season sponsorship. If
Please email Holly Weiss at holly.ohrenweiss1@gmail.com by January 15,
2015 to add your name to the Kiddush Cooperative.
Kiddush Committee News
Families interested in sponsoring a kiddush and/or seudat shlishit should
contact Holly so that she can reserve the date on the shul calendar. Please
also let Holly know if you would like to participate in an upcoming Crock Pot
Challenge which generally takes place around Rosh Chodesh. We've been
doing these for a year and are always seeking new families to take the
challenge.
Kiddush clean up is on a rotating basis, based on your last name. While we
recognize that everyone in your group may not be available each Shabbat,
we ask that you pitch in if you are assigned in that month so that the same
people are not doing the clean-up each week. We all like kiddushes and we
all make plans for lunch after shul so please be respectful of your fellow
congregants by helping out during your assigned month if you are in shul.
We also ask that you please watch your children during Kiddush to the
extent possible, and to place their finished items in the garbage cans
provided.
Jan: Blaiberg, Blass, Blech, Borgen, Borodach
For more information on anything Kiddush related, please contact Holly
Weiss at kiddush@arzeidarom.org.
Learning Opportunities
We are always looking for opportunities to strengthen our connection to
Torah. The more Torah in the shul, the better, so let us know if you have
any other suggestions.
