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
We still welcome families to join the Kiddush Cooperative. The more families
we have, the more hot kiddushes we can enjoy throughout the year. It is
not too late to join! Please email Holly Weiss at
holly.ohrenweiss1@gmail.com 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.
Feb: Brodsky, Darack, Furer, Fried, Goldgewert
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.

Holocaust Memorial Committee Petition Deadline - Feb 24
The Teaneck Holocaust Memorial Committee has been working to get a
Holocaust Memorial created in Teaneck. We believe that it is important to
create a Holocaust Memorial in the Township of Teaneck to memorialize
those who perished in the Holocaust and establish a place for the
community to use for reflection and education about the tragedy of
genocide and the lessons of tolerance. We believe that Brett Park (River
Road at the intersection of Winthrop Road) is the best choice to establish
the Holocaust Memorial due to its accessibility to the community, available
parking and visibility from River Road. We urge the Teaneck Township
Council to take the necessary steps to make this a reality. That's why we
created a petition to Teaneck Town Council.
To review the petition, and decide whether to sign it follow this link:
