Or Chadash Happenings ...
 Sukkah, 2006

 Rabbi Louchheim led the “3 Stars Summer Havdalah” at the home of one of three congregants in August. Cantor Cohen and Brenda Landau each led the service marking the end of Shabbat at two other homes. Participants shared desserts at each site. Other images of the Summer Havdalah follow.

NEW RECYCLING PROGRAM RAISES FUNDS FOR CONGREGATION
We’ve just joined the eScrip Recycling Program that can turn our recyclable cell phones and printer cartridges into cash for our congregation without any cost to us.
Deposit your recyclable cell phones and laser, or inkjet printer cartridges in the eScrip Recycling container at the office during regular hours. We will ship the phones and empty cartridges to eScrip Recycling which will then deposit funds electronically in our account!
If you have a business or know of a local business that uses inkjet or laser cartridges we can place a recycling container at their location and we’ll do the collection and handle the shipping of the items to eScrip.
This program will be successful with your help (and your printer cartridges). Thanks for recycling and for helping generate funds for Or Chadash.
For information, call David Weintraub, 290-5033, or email him at

Make A Difference Day Sunday, October 29th

Previous Make A Difference Day
WE MADE A DIFFERENCE
by Michael Levy More than 25 volunteers, working in conjunction with JCRC, the Tucson Police Department, and Congregation Anshei Israel, turned out to clean-up the exterior yards of a needy family for Make A Difference Day Sunday November 6th. Chain-saws buzzed, weeds were pulled, stumps removed, and general clean-up completed in three hours. Everyone appreciated the work done. We hope the effort rebuilds pride of ownership and that the family continues to maintain the yard. It was a wonderful mitzvah and everyone worked hard to make the effort a huge success.
