Shalom, Salaam, Tikkun-Olam, & Peace

A Christmas Project of Hope and Cheer

December 24 and/or December 25

West High School – Cafeteria
241 North 300 West, Salt Lake City, Utah

For 19 years under National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) leadership, members and friends of Utah’s Jewish and Muslim communities have served others less fortunate in our community during the Christmas holidays. Joining us this year will be West High School English Second Language Department, National Honor Society, Student Ambassadors, and faculty. Our project, Shalom, Salaam, Tikkun Olam, is done in the spirit of Tikkun Olam (helping to repair the world), Tzedekah (justice) and Peace (shalom in Hebrew or salaam in Arabic). For all our efforts, National NCJW gave this project a “Vision for America showcase award,” 2011.

Last year, we (you!) helped 1500 people. This, our 20th year, we expect to help more lonely and frail seniors, those at-risk, and–with more schools signing up for help–new refugees. We will serve 600 homebound senior citizens, families (150 individuals) among the working poor or in transition, a battered women’s shelter (+75 individuals), 25+ single women head of households, and 105 refugee families representing 500+ children/adults from countries as diverse as Bosnia, Congo, Iraq, Liberia, Sudan, Myanmar, Somalia and Bhutan.

Secure online donations may be made at (www.ncjwutah.org). NCJW is a 501 C3, tax-exempt organization.  If you have questions, or want to volunteer, please e-mail or call one of the following:

Socks for Sukkot!

Kathi & Sam Cohen will again host the annual CBY Sukkot celebration at their home at 1541 Logan Avenue (1541 East 1620 South) at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, October 14th.  We will be in the backyard, so come up the driveway. All are encouraged to arrive at 5:30 and help decorate the sukkah.  Bring branches, vines, flowers, homemade decorations–be creative!  We will be outdoors, so dress warmly.  Vegetarian pot-luck.  Please bring a dish to share and any necessary serving  utensils.

Rachel Fishbein knows what tzedakah means.  She has generously donated her stock of hand-knitted wool-blend socks and hats as a Sukkot fundraiser for CBY.  What better way to stay warm on a cool night (or in the Pepper Chapel on the High Holidays when the heat has yet to come on!).  These colorful foot-warmers will be for sale at Sukkot, on the 14th at the CBY celebration.

Special note: This week (through Thursday eve) you can purchase socks and hats at Joanne Slotnik & Steve Trimble’s Avenues home (call first: 801-364-3031).

Adult socks: $20

Kid’s socks: $10

Hats: $15

The next generation--with our Torah.

CBY TWENTY-FIFTH Anniversary

L’dor V’dor – From Generation to Generation 

IN EARLY JUNE, we gathered with Rabbi Michael Ross to celebrate 25 years of CBY with a shabbaton weekend of reflection, conversation, and community.

  • On Friday, we explored the Jewish legacy we inherited from our ancestors and family members.
  • On Saturday, we explored how we understand our role in that legacy.
  • On Sunday, we explored how we transmit this legacy to the next generation–and then we celebrated with good food and stories.
