Simchat Torah 5782

-

 


Today is Simchat Torah 5782. 

At Temple this morning we celebrated the Festival Service followed by Yizkor Service. Between the two, Rabbi Gary Pokras’ sermon connected them both by explaining how the stories in the Torah are the stories of our ancestors. As we proceed to remember those who have passed, also remember our ancestors from long ago. 

This got me to thinking about my more recent ancestors who I have honored by including them in my Genealogy. 

So on Simchat Torah, I remember …

  L'Shana Tovah   Family,  This family letter come 9 months late, as the secular New Year was a hard time for me. I’m sure you all are well aware that my Mom, Cevia Rosol, z”l  (of blessed memory), passed away on December 28, 2022 after a turbulent 8 months, closely following the death of her husband of 43 years, George Rosol z”l, who passed away on May 2, 2022.  Here is my Eulogy for my Mom, for those who missed it:  I miss my Mom already. My name is Michael Snyder; Mikey to her. I thought that bringing her from Maine to Maryland would allow me and other family members to have a renewed and extended opportunity to spend quality time, share experiences, and create bonding memories.

Now she has joined him for eternity and hopefully they are at peace.  Mom was creative, artistic, well organized, and a bit stubborn. She was a good mom to me. I was

As the War rages on, people of Ukraine need help with the little things

Direct Help to Ukrainian Individuals and Families When I visited Ukraine in 2018, one of my best resources was the secretary (Victoria Chymshyt) of the local Synagogue in Rivno. Gratefully, she and her son have escaped to Warsaw. She continues to stay connected and help out her congregational friends and families both inside Ukraine and refuges outside, like herself. I reached out to her to find out how we could help her community directly. She and the head of her community responded with 2 projects:   One of the biggest challenges is staying connected to family and friends and using their other cell phone apps. Believe it or not, communication and other services available on cell phones can be more important to them than food. "We will choose the numbers of those who need it the most. That would be great help.", Vik.   <<READ THIS RELAVANT ARTICLE> https://www.treehugger.com/people-are-outraged-see-refugees-smartphones-they-shouldnt-be-4867591 One of the congregants
