Canada's economy is on an upswing, but spending money is still not easy to come by. Supporting a synagogue and such institutions as the camp, Kolel, ARZA, and many other worthy causes requires some sacrifice. The real hard part, as in the days of Zechariah and Isaiah, is not contributing to these needs, but rather in refusing to recognize how central and inspiriting they are to our lives and to the soul of the people Israel. My family and I will be out of the country for the next week. The CCAR Convention begins on Sunday.
Space is still available.
Day outings to the site of the new UAHC Camp near Peterborough are being organized for August. If you are interested in visiting the camp, please contact the CCRJ Office. The CCRJ will hold its next Board meeting on Sunday, Sept. 21. The weekend will also mark the first return of native son, Rabbi Sheldon Zimmerman, to Toronto, since he became President of Hebrew Union College. Rabbi Zimmerman will be the guest of Temple Sinai upon the installation of Michael Dolgin as Senior Rabbi.
