D’VAR TORAH

Holly Simon offered her observations about several topics in this week’s Torah readings, and that they come from both Genesis and Numbers.  Interestingly, in the reading from Genesis, God is not mentioned.  The reading from Numbers is about Moses and the extensive preparation of the tabernacle.  She came away from her study with a new understanding of gratitude for God and for His giving what He has.

MINUTES FROM PRIOR MEETING

Minutes from the November meeting, as taken by Jim Poliner, were approved as presented.  It was noted that two reports submitted for the meeting package, were not included.

Hadassah December 2009 PDF Print E-mail

The campus of Hadassah-Ein Kerem in Jerusalem is witnessing the largest building project in the State of Israel to date: the construction of a new medical facility, the Sarah Wetsman Davidson Tower, a 14-story building that has several stories below ground. The realities of conflict are a fact of life in Israel, so to safeguard patients and staff in the event of any untoward event, two floors below ground constitute, in essence, a bomb shelter with space for 260 beds housed within 16-inch external walls. Aside from disaster planning, the team of architects has incorporated many energy-saving devices and innovations into the design. The tower is not yet completed but it is a true symbol of Hadassah’s mission and vision – to bring health and hope to the people of Israel and of the region.

Costello Buys A Computer From Abbott PDF Print E-mail

You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this. For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on...

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, 'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like this:

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?

COSTELLO: Thanks I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.

ABBOTT: Your computer?

COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.

ABBOTT: Mac?

COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.

ABBOTT: What about Windows?

COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?

ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?

COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?

ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
