MOTHERLODE JEWISH COMMUNITY
September 23, 2011
MessageFrom Our President
Dear Fellow Mother Lode Jewish Community Members,
The board of directors welcomes you to the Jewish New Year of 5772 with Torah blessings for a Shana
Tova U' Mesuka, A GOOD AND SWEET NEW YEAR.
This year we will be celebrating the High Holidays with Yom Kippur services led by Chava Lion, a
rabbinical student from Oregon, with several of our members assisting. On Friday, October 7 their will
be a potluck meal at 4:30 pm followed by Kol Nidre services at 6 pm at the Orman’s home in Murphys.
Then on Saturday, October 8th there will be Morning (11am), Afternoon (tashlich at the lake), Memorial
and Neilah services concluding with a Break-the-fast potluck at 6:15 pm at the Miller’s new home in
Copperopolis (4931 Lakeshore Dr., Copperopolis). NOTE: There are many stairs at the Miller’s house
so there is currently no wheelchair access.
This year many new board members along with some very loyal and dedicated members are returning.
Your current board of directors are: David Simons, President; Rhoda Nussbaum, V.P.; Judy Miller,
Secretary; Holly & Rodger Orman, Co-Treasurers; and members at large: David Axelrod, Shira Harris,
Cindy Lavagetto, Dawn Purcell, Dale Silverman, Ron and Tami (Rakstad) Schaner, Arlene Weissman.
The combination of their knowledge and dedication is reflected in the calendar of events and
gatherings scheduled for the year. In addition to Yom Kippur services in October, there will be a
Shabbat service at the Nussbaum/Adam’s home in Murphys on November 11th and a Hanukkah party
on December 24th at the Lions Hut in Murphys. Dates for monthly gatherings have been set for the
entire year. The entire calendar can be viewed on our website, www.motherlodejc.org.
At this time of the year, we ask you and your family to renew your membership. Members are asked to
give only what they can afford and no one is turned away for financial reasons. Our goal is at least
$100 per family plus $75 per family for children in Hebrew/Sunday School.. Larger contributions are
greatly appreciated and certainly provide greater flexibility in planning our various events. We hope
you will continue to support the Mother Lode Jewish Community and if you are able, to increase the
level of your dues contribution. You and your family are always welcome to join us in our services and
events.
Please use the form enclosed, or if you receive this via email, print the following page, and mail to:
MLJC, P.O. Box 1142, Angels Camp, CA 95222
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
David Simons
President MLJC
