The Charlotte Jewish News - October 2009 - Page 11 Two Cub Scouts with Awards for Jewish Studies Mazel tov to two hard-working Cub Scouts from LJCC Pack 163 that recently achieved big honors by earning awards for Jewish Studies. Gabriel Novack was pre sented the Maccabee Emblem by Rabbi Faith Cantor. The Maccabee Emblem is a Jewish award given by the Boy Scouts of America for Cub Scouts in the third grade or younger. Gabriel worked with Rabbi Cantor for several months in order to fulfill the required stud ies in Jewish holidays, Jewish objects, and Jewish heroes. He even had the opportuni ty to interview Rabbi Murray Ezring, Rabbi Cantor, and Cantor Elias Roochvarg. Also as part of the curricu lum, Rabbi Cantor helped Gabriel make his own tallit and tie his own tzitzit. Gabriel loved the process and says he learned a lot about Judaism. Now he is looking forward to completing the require ments for the Aleph Emblem and eventually becoming an Eagle Scout. Gabriel is a rising third grader at Providence Day School. Yossi Berendt received his Aleph award as a Webelo Scout as a fifth-grader at the Charlotte Jewish Day School. Yossi received help, when needed, from Rabbi Chanoch Oppenheim of the Charlotte Torah Center and from his father Every week his leader, Morris Rosen, would check the notebook that Yossi was required to keep. Mr Rosen commented that the majority of the questions that Yossi needed to answer came JCC Tributes August Family Teen Programs Endowment Fund In honor of Mitchell Feld pass ing the NC Bar from Judy and Stan August In memory of Harold Fishkin from Judy and Stan August In memory of Gerald Sinkoe from Judy and Stan August LJCC Maccabi Game Fund In memory of Harold Fishkin from Alison and Mark Lemer LJCC General Programs Fund In memory of Harold Fishkin from Bari and Jeff Gorelick In memory of Jules Buxbaum from Louise and Mark Bernstein, Carolyn and Nathan Rose, Mr. and Mrs. Greg Cox Oasis Senior Hot Lunch Fund In memory of Harold Fishkin from Shellie and Harvey Barer In memory of Jules Buxbaum from Ellen and Sam Waldman Musler Memorial Fund Wishing David Kronovet a happy birthday from Paula Musler and Sol Levine ^ very easily to him because of his years of attending CJDS.
