Life-long Learning at Congregation Beth Ohr!
Shortly before the onset of the High Holidays I conducted a study workshop for our congregation titled "Six Strategies for Surviving the Holidays."
I was greatly pleased not only by the caliber of our participants but also by
the number of students who chose to attend. Our workshop was comprised of fifteen adult students! Their attendance was even more striking
since the class was offered on a Wednesday at eleven o'clock in the
morning.
Aside from studying some of the more complicated Biblical texts for Yom
Tov, I also provided our students with the titles of a number of books appropriate for the holidays. I wanted to expand on this idea so I am offering
a bibliography of sorts in this article that will suggest a number of wonderful books, most available in paperback and e-print form that could deeply
enhance and supplement the knowledge of any curious student of Judaism. If an individual were to read just a couple of these books this fall he/
she could seriously add to his/her basic level of knowledge of Judaism.
Here is the list of books and I sincerely hope that each one of you will give
serious consideration to tackling at least one or two of them this fall. I believe that it will not only deepen your understanding of Judaism but also
enable you to take much more enjoyment in the observance of our rich,
formidable and illustrious heritage.
Below are my choices listed in no specific order by title and author.
Should you have difficulty finding any one of these selections please let
me know so that I might be of assistance. Have a wonderful year.
Rabbi Joel S Mishkin
The Beginning of Desire by Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg
The Murmuring Deep by Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg
Why Faith Matters by Rabbi David Wolpe

Lunch tips about water damage
The R.O.M.E.O. Friday lunch group frequently
comes up with some interesting and helpful tips.
.
Here are a few from Daniel Grynberg about protecting against home water damage. Dan said the largest amount of insurance
claims are water damage, some of which can be avoided.
1. When going on a vacation or leaving your home for an extended period,
turn off the water into the house. This will prevent against damage from
freezing, or a developing leak.
2. Before the start of winter turn off the faucets to the outside of your
house. Afterwards, open the faucets to drain any water remaining in the
pipes.
3. Many washing machines have rubber supply hoses for the water entering the
machine. These tend to develop leaks. Replace them with stainless steel
hoses.
4. Hot water heaters will break. They have a limited life. Have them
checked out, or replaced beforehand.
