    Message from the President
    Just a few years ago, Ansche Chesed emarked on its ambitious capital campaign. Ably chaired by Shana Roskies and Sheryl Reich, a host of shul members volunteered to solicit our membership and together we raised close to two-million dollars. The campaign was effective because it was also used as a tool in a community building process. The volunteers came from all the minyanim and worked together as teams. We learned about each other and our building’s needs.

    To date we have re-pointed the exterior façade and brought it into compliance with local law, we have fixed the side-walk vault under Hirsch Hall, have overhauled our elevator and installed a blessedly quiet air conditioning unit on the fifth floor. Coming next is necessary roof repair on the fifth floor roof, which will we believe make the ceiling of the sanctuary water tight, and then we will address lighting issues in that beautiful space and ultimately painting the room.

    The building committee has a long list of additional projects that they are prioritizing, and we will keep the community updated. But now, I want to take the opportunity to celebrate the members who have completed their campaign pledges, and to thank those who made one-time gifts during the years of the capital campaign. We will throughout the year list and acknowledge all those who have completed their gifts. Your generosity is deeply appreciated!

    -- Josh Hanft

    Please see "Capital Campaign" below for a list of those who have made contributions.

     

    Guest Lecture February 5: Khaled Abu-Toameh
    Sunday, February 5 at 7 p.m.

    Ansche Chesed is pleased to host Khaled Abu- Toameh, a renowned Arab-Israeli journalist, to discuss the outcome of the Palestinian elections, the run-up to the Israeli vote and the implications for these political shifts in relations between Israel, the Palestinians the Arab word.

    Abu-Toameh is the senior correspondent in the West Bank and Gaza for the Jerusalem Post and U.S. News & World Report. A Muslim born in Tulkarm, in the West Bank, he has written for a remarkable range of other publications, from the Jerusalem Report in English, to Al-Fajr in Arabic to Kol Yerushalayim [a popular Jerusalem weekly] in Hebrew, as well as American, Australian, British, Danish and German television. He also served as a visiting fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

    This will be a unique opportunity to hear analysis of Palestinian society and politics from someone who has inside access.

    Don't miss it! Please share this invitation with your friends.

Go through your albums, pick your favorites, and share your memories with the community. The committee will decide which photos will be displayed.

Maximum size is 8 ½ by 11 inches, and we wish accept only prints. You may submit a color photocopy. Please do not submit your only copy, as we cannot by responsible for its safe return.

    Each photo must be accompanied by the following information: Who took the picture, where and when it was taken, the subject, and optionally, what the photo means to you.

    Photos can be left at AC starting immediately, or can be mailed to the AC office. Deadline is April 7.

    A.J. HESCHEL'S TORAH MIN HaSHAMAYIM
    with Rabbi Jeremy Kalmanofsky

    Beginning on February 4, Rabbi Kalmanofsky will offer a class on Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel’s Torah Min HaShamayim, Be'Aspaklaria Shel HaDorot ["Torah from Heaven, Through the Looking-Glass of the Generations"]. This three-volume work is perhaps his deepest, most learned writing.

    The class will cover Heschel's main themes: Rabbinic hermeneutics, experiencing God's presence, the problem of suffering, the meaning of worship, and the nature of revelation.

    The original Hebrew text and the new translation by Rabbi Gordon Tucker will be used.

    8 Shabbat mornings, February 4 - April 1, 9:30-10:15 a.m. (No session Feb. 20)
     

    TORAH DISCUSSION
    Each Shabbat we read and discuss the parshat hashavua (weekly Torah portion). Everyone is welcome to participate. The discussion is led in rotation by Rabbi Kalmanofsky, Rabbi Kurland, rabbinic intern Ethan Linden, and Ansche Chesed members.
    Every Shabbat, 9-10 a.m.

    SEUDAH SHLISHIT
    The last hours of Shabbat can be the sweetest time of the sweetest day. As the sun sinks and the shadows grow, we can stave off the weekday spirit with our Seudah Shlishit (the "third meal"), a final occasion for song and study, food and drink. Join us to sing and learn and savor the final moments of the day of rest. If you would like to sponsor one of our monthly gatherings, please contact Sharri Posen at ext. 205.
