A New Year's Resolution


1.     Select a Shabbat evening and morning make it part your routine in life. You will enrich our synagogue and at the same time find time to appreciate life’s gifts.
2.     Provide a student in our Religious School with a scholarship, a great Mitzvah that strengthens our Jewish future.
3.     Visit, call, or write a personal note to someone who is sick and go to the next level bringing them some homemade food to show you care.
4.     Read a Jewish book; learn something new on-line about Jewish history, customs, Torah, Prayer etc.
5.     Gather your spare change and place it in a Tzedkah box you will be surprised how much coins can translate into dollars.
6.     Become a professional volunteer, a person who steps up and listens to the needs of the community and makes a difference.
   7.Be a Mensch./ Eshet Hayil do things for right reasons and your reward will be        felt in your heart!

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?

Speech

  “To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.”     John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent.  Life teaches many lessons.  Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied.  Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
