One of our best opportunities to increase Or Shalom’s revenue is
through TD Bank. The bank has a program which pays Or Shalom a
percentage of the total balances of the accounts that are enrolled in
the program and affiliated with Or Shalom. If you already have an
account at TD Bank, you can easily enroll your account in the Affinity
Program by calling Jeff Salvo, the TD Bank branch manager in Devon.
Jeff’s phone number is 610-254-9150.
Remember, any member, relative of a member, or friend of a
member can open a savings or checking account then enroll the
account in the Affinity Program, providing them with Or Shalom’s
name and address. Please note that all your bank account information
is held in strict confidence by TD Bank. Or Shalom is not told anyone’s
account balances and we are not told who is enrolled in the program.
The only information we receive from TD Bank is the total number of
accounts enrolled and the total account balances.
Over the past four years, TD Bank has donated just under
$21,000!
Do you know Unaffiliated Jews in
Chester County, Montgomery
County and Delaware County?
Do you have Jewish friends or acquaintances who live in Chester
County, Montgomery County and Delaware County who are not
already members of a synagogue? If you do, why not invite them to
one of the upcoming events at Or Shalom, for example our next
Friday night dinner? They may have a good time and decide to come
back. They may have such a good time that they decide to become
members themselves. According to a recent survey by the Jewish
Federation, there are many, many unaffiliated Jews in Chester county.
We’d love to contact them, but don’t know who they are. You can
help.
Todah rabah!
Celebrate with an Oneg
Or Shalom Sisterhood is delighted to announce that
you can sponsor an Oneg for any celebration you wish!
Friday night and/or Saturday morning. The Sisterhood
will be happy to purchase it and set it up, we only want
you to join us and celebrate! Call Faye Peel at (610)

“Volunteers Needed”
Over the past several months, I’ve had the enviable
job of asking our members to contribute money.
This time I’m going to ask for something more: your
time.
As small synagogue is only as good as the people
who volunteer for it. This is true for the Board of
Directors, officers, and committees. As you take
time to re-charge your batteries this summer, please
give some thought to re-upping your commitment of
time to Or Shalom.
We have special needs in the following areas:
marketing and publicity, programming, and
fundraising. While our Board is certainly a “working
board,” the bulk of the real operations of the
synagogue necessarily happens at the committee
level. With membership and finances our primary
concerns going into this fiscal year, we can use all
the help we can get.
Of course, if your interests lie elsewhere, that’s okay
too. Please feel free to contact me and let me know
where you’d like to help. Every little bit counts.
Have a great summer, and thanks in advance for your
support.
Stuart Lurie, President

From the Education Director
Na’ama Yarden
What did we do this year at our Religious school?
Another school year has past and now it is time to start planning for next year. I would
like to thank our Rabbi, teachers, teen aides, Education committee members, president,
LP, parents and students for a fulfilled year of Religious School. This year our Religious
School had 39 students from Gan through Zayin (K-7th gr. ) They were taught by five
teachers and four teen aides. We are so proud and also a bit sad to say good-bye to our
wonderful graduates.
Here are a few things that we did this year and we plan to continue next year. The goal
behind these initiatives was to enlarge our school and to expand our students’ social circles, but also to support our belief that as a small local Jewish community we should always reach out to the wider Jewish world, beyond our own community.
1. The Israeli program this year was the newest edition to our school. Israeli families
from the wide Philadelphia area came to us through the organization Philly Israel and
asked us to create a program that will teach their kids Hebrew in Hebrew. Together
we worked and came up with a two parts program. Half of the day (Sunday) the students learned Hebrew and holidays all in Hebrew with Morah Dana And Dotan
Yarden (Teen Aide). They sang songs, heard stories, discussed, and learned the Alef
Bet- all in Hebrew. The other half of the day the students joined the rest of their
grade and learned Torah, Prayers, music and dance in English and Hebrew. We feel
that this was a wonderful add on to our school, and we are happy to see that the Israeli families were satisfied with the results. On 4/26, at our Yom Israel celebration
we had an open house with Philly Israel and a few new families were interested in
the program. Our goal is to have more Israelis in all the classes.
2. Another initiative that we had this year was the collaboration with Congregation Beth
El Ner Tamid. We had a chance to establish great relationships with CBENT in
Broomall through two events that we planned together. On Purim we joined them for
their well- organized Carnival and on Lag BaOmer they came over and joined us for
a fun field day. Both events were very successful and the communities felt welcomed
and happy to collaborate. The students made new friendships, which was a nice thing
to see. We are looking forward for more events like these next year and we already
have new ideas in mind.

From the Education Director
(continued)
3. Our relationships with Bnai Jacob were also continued through one event that we did
together this year. We invited them to join us for the Global day of Jewish Learning
that took place in November and it was a nice success.
As we prepare for the new school year, we are looking at some new ideas:





Providing an opportunity for a Confirmation class for grades 8-10.
Continue to add students to the Religious School through new members.
Think of innovative methods of teaching that will appeal to the students.
Incorporate technology into our daily teaching.
Continue to collaborate with other synagogues in the area in order to create a wider
community for our students.
I wish everyone a restful and fun summer.

Sisterhood news
Thanks so much to everyone who attended the Sisterhood Shabbat in May. Brenda Belkin and
Betsy Cohen did a phenomenal job organizing, and even printed up a program for the congregation to follow--it was beautiful and very helpful. Julie Miller organized a delicious lunch
that Faye Peel, Ellen Gross, Betsy Blumen, Janet Hurwitz and Ayalah Sorkin helped prepare.
There were some delicious quiches at the lunch made by Julie Miller and Faye Peel. I got
many requests for the recipes and Faye generously gave me her Zucchini pie recipe to include
in this month's Horizons. Thanks, also, to everyone who participated-- you made it a wonderful Shabbat.
Our Annual pot-luck closing Sisterhood Dinner is coming up! It is a dairy pot luck on June 4 at

me know what dairy dish you will bring. Don't be afraid to come a little late if you are coming

I recently attended the Mid-Atlantic Region of Women's League for Conservative Judaism
Spring Conference. It was an informative day of learning about Sisterhood and the Women's
League. While there, I was presented with a certificate celebrating the 36th anniversary of the
affiliation of our Sisterhood with the Women's League, and an Award of Honor for "exemplary
devotion to Judaism and outstanding achievement". I share these awards with all of the women
of Or Shalom who do so much for Sisterhood every week.
Stay tuned for information about a summer Happy Hour.
Have a wonderful summer. I hope to see you all at the Closing Dinner.
