Summer Re.snient Camp of the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta
Accredited by the American Camping Association
our newly formed P.A.L.S. group
(Parents And Little ones
Schm(X)zing). The evening began
under the shelter of the Temple
Israel sukkah with some ruach-
fiiled singing with Rabbi Ezring,
Rabbi Sunshine, and Cantor
Roochvarg, along with
reciting the blessings
over the lulav and
etrog and sitting in the
sukkah.
Having managed to
avoid the threat of
imminent rain, we
moved inside for a
delicious dinner of
pizza and salad and a
craft project of making
Sukkah placemats. The
Temple was bustling
with activity, filled with the
joyous sounds of families cel
ebrating Sukkot and socializ
ing together.
We would like to extend a
big thank you and a hearty
“ya-asher ko-ach” to the
P.A.L.S. coordinators, Allison
Karp, Margaret Musa, and
Stephanie Tuckman, for all of
their hard work in making this
program a success. We are
already busy planning our next
P.A.L.S. program, which will
take place during Hanukkah. For
more information about our
P.A.L.S. program, contact Rabbi
Ari Sunshine, 704-362-2796. b

Torah, Light and
Philosophy at Ohr
HaTorah in November
The month of November usual
ly marks the beginning of the dark
winter days. However, this year,
November comes to symbolize
light with the early arrival of
Hanukkah on Friday, November
29, just before Shabbat.
Congregation Ohr HaTorah
will mark the month of November
with a host of wonderful activities
that will add to the light of
Hanukkah. Rabbi Yehuda
Clapman, the scribe who is writ
ing the new Torah for Charlotte,
will appear at Ohr HaTorah on
Sunday, November 10 at 6:(X) PM
with scroll in hand, to continue
some of the writing in Charlotte.
There are still some portions
available for sponsorship, along
with many verses and letters.
Rabbi Clapman will give a special
presentation on how a new Torah
is made from scratch to final
scroll. This exciting and informa
tive program is greatly recom
mended for families as a wonder
ful Jewish learning experience.
Rabbi Clapman’s presentation is
part of the Jewish Cultural Arts
Festival of the Charlotte Jewish
community.
“Is there morality without
God?” is the topic of discussion
with noted Jewish philosopher
and lecturer. Dr. Yitzchok Block.
A graduate of Harvard’s School of
Philosophy where he received his
Ph.D., Dr. Block now resides in
London, Ontario, where he teach
es at the University of Ontario. Dr.
Block blends humor and philoso
phy in his address on issues that
are of crucial importance to our
daily lives.
