AT OUR SCHOOL Nina Woldin visited with our 3rd & 4th Grade students. She showed them a video about Shabbat. One quote in the video was from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, who refers to Shabbat as \"a palace in time.\" The students talked about the things they would have in their own Shabbat palaces, and filled in puzzle pieces with activities they would like to do on Shabbat. They took the puzzles home, and will put them together as they do each activity. Sophia Olijarczyk and Vylet Bernstein Simon Morenberg They talked about traditional Shabbat celebrations for Magic Shabbat glasses for sight. each of the five senses, and then students created their own way to celebrate for each sense. Mixing spices for different smells Challah with Nutella is a great Shabbat taste! Shadow puppet show, also for sight. that express Shabbat. Page 12 NHC Bulletin Tevet — Shevat 5779 January 2019

Hazak Wishing everyone a very happy, healthy New Year. One resolution, you should make for the New Year, if you are over 65, is to attend one Hazak meeting this year. If you are not impressed with this meeting, plan to attend another one, because like fine wine, we get better with age. Just a reminder, we will be showing off our artistic talents at the January 3 meeting. It may be too late for you to join us at this meeting but don’t miss out on the rest of the year. We are making exciting plans for the New Year including at least one trip in the Spring. WARNING!! If you hear a great deal of laughter coming from the synagogue in February, it could be coming from our meeting on February 7. We invite all over 65 to become members and join us at this meeting and enjoy the surprise. I will close with a quote from Cher at age 72. “My mom still gives me advice and I still don’t listen”. And one more thing to ponder. My grandson has a loose tooth. It just fell out. When he puts it under his pillow, the tooth fairy will give him money. Now, if the tooth fairy loses a tooth, will he have to give it back?

In Our Mailbox Dear Rabbi Kurland, Thank you for agreeing to have Nanuet Hebrew Center as a partnering institution for the AIPAC Rockland Community Event. The event will be on Wednesday, February 6th at the Rockland Jewish Community Campus. We will be joined by AIPAC’s Director of Strategic Initiatives, Jonathan Kessler. Jonathan will lead us in an important discussion about the many challenges facing Israel and the American pro-Israel community as well as ways that we can address them. Attached, please find the invitation. We will be sending out the first round of invitations to all Rockland residents that are in our database tomorrow. Would you be willing to have the flyers in your synagogue, include the event in your weekly email blasts and announcements on Shabbat? All your help and efforts in recruitment would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for all your help. Jordana Samot New York State AIPAC • The American Israel Public Affairs Committee Dear Rabbi Kurland, We acknowledge, with deep appreciation, your very generous donation. This donation is a true chesed shel emet (act of loving kindness). Your support helps provide funerals and burials for indigent Jews. We ensure that they are buried with peace and dignity, in the traditional Jewish Way, sparing them the fate of anonymous mass burials in city cemetery. Thank you for your meaningful support. Very truly yours, Amy Koplow Executive Director The Hebrew Free Burial Association January 2019 Tevet — Shevat 5779 NHC Bulletin Page 19
