GOT GAME?

We’re looking for donations of Shabbat-appropriate board games—in good condition with all the pieces—for Shabbat afternoon get-togethers for our youth.  Please bring any games you no longer use to the office.  Thank you!


LOST AND FOUND

We have quite a collection of jackets, sweaters, umbrellas, etc. that have taken up residence in our coat room.  If you are purposely leaving them here, that’s fine—if not, please take them home the next time you are here.  We also have several pairs of sunglasses and tallit clips in the office.  Come take a look—you may find what you’ve been missing.

 

 


All in the Family: Messages to our Members and Friends

Thank you so much for your meaningful tribute in honor of my recovery.  All is going well and I hope to be up and out very soon.  I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness.  Thanks,

Jeff Rosenblum 

Thank you very much for the tribute in honor of the birth of our grandson, Noah Benjamin Weinberg-Kutnick.  Carla, Jay and big sister Hannah are thrilled with the new addition to the family.  Thanks again for your thoughtfulness during this special time in our lives.

Bettina & Mel Weinberg 

I wish to express my deep and abiding gratitude to Rabbi Gordon, to the Minyan and to the entire Shul for not only opening your hearts, but literally for opening your doors to me, my family and to all who came to my brother Sheldon’s levayah. Rabbi Gordon’s hespid was delivered most beautifully and from the heart. I admire very much the dedication of the Minyan men and the high level of learning Rabbi Gordon has brought to Traditional Congregation and to St. Louis.  Sheldon would have been thrilled at the thought of a Minyan in his house, let alone the Torah being read!  Please express my profound thanks once again to the congregation.  Yours in friendship, 

Mark T. Orenstein
Chicago, Illinois

Editor’s note:  Mr. & Mrs. Orenstein made a substantial donation to Traditional in memory of Sheldon and in honor of Rabbi Gordon and the minyan. 

Thank you for honoring my father’s memory with a donation.

Cindy Fredlich Hillman 

Many thanks to my wonderful shul community for the donation in honor of my receiving the JPro award.  I am grateful for your good wishes and support, and appreciate being part of a congregation that shares my commitment to building the Jewish people.  Please accept this donation as a token of my appreciation.

Nikki Goldstein 

Thank you for the tribute from the congregation.  We really do appreciate your good wishes.  You are all very special to us.  With love,

Fran and Harold Hoffman 

Thank you to my office Angels this month, Nanci Gold and Ceil Tobin:  I can always count on you for help whenever it’s needed.

Did you know?

 

  • The recent Israel Bonds Dinner in December set a record for attendance, with 126 people, who not only honored Frank and Ilse Altman, but raised over $503,000 in sales of Israel Bonds. Todah rabbah!!

  • Dierberg’s Scrip is available for purchase in the office.  We also have Schnuck’s courtesy e-cards.  No extra cost to you, just shop as usual and our shul receives a percentage of what you spend.  A foolproof way to raise money for Traditional!  Please note that we can no longer accept credit cards  or cash in payment.  Checks are welcome!

    P.S.  The Jewish Food Pantry needs Dierberg’s cards for its clients.  If you would like to donate cards to the Food Pantry, you can purchase them through Traditional, give them to the Food Pantry, and take a charitable deduction.

    It’s a WIN-WIN-WIN! 

    ??? about how it works?  Call Marian in the office.
     

  • Amazon.com and Traditional are shopping partners!  You can link to Amazon.com right from this message.  Or go to the Traditional home page, click on Our Shopping Partners in the left margin, then scroll down to the Amazon.com banner and click on it.  Make your purchase as usual, and Traditional gets a percentage—all at no extra cost to you!
