son, Elan.

The Hostesses with the Mostestes
It’s time to open your hearts and home to all the new faces that may visit our community
looking for a shul to call their own. If we are proud of what we have going, we need to
make sure we are putting our best foot forward at all times.
Currently, there are a few families who regularly invite and host new shul members or
prospective members for Shabbat meals. Our Welcoming Chair, Melinda Hilsenrath,
along with the Rabbi and Lisa, have been on top of this important initiative for many years.
However, we would like that group of welcomers and those who volunteer to host for
meals grow. Please contact Melinda at meln423@aol.com today, and say that you would
like to be placed on the list to host new families for Welcome to the YINW Shabbat meals
Game Night Ahoy!

Israel Update – Top Twenty Innovations – Digital Printing
We’ve chosen 20 outstanding and diverse examples of Israeli innovation stemming from
the military sector. Here’s number 11.
Those 100-meter-tall images of Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli—and, in fact, the entire
large-format digital printing industry—are possible because of a mapping technology
developed by the Israeli military for cruise missiles. The original company to make
commercial use of that technology, Scitex Vision, specialized in producing equipment for
large-format printing on paper and other materials. Scitex was sold to Hewlett Packard for
$230 million in 2005, and the rest is history.
Tuvia Book is a licenced Israeli Ministry of Tourism Guide.

and acknowledges important people in the Zionist pantheon.
