Helping Ari and Shirly
Ari Saponar is feeling
better, recovering from his shattered femur and the surgery. However
his mother Shirly Pugatzy is feeling sick. They need your help! Shirly
has asked for people to contact her directly. Their long term needs
are becoming clear. Some days they will need help and other days
not. Especially needed are people to help Ari with his homework, since
he can't leave home and go to school. Their phone number is
303.443.1589, or cell phone at 720.987.5592.

SPECIAL MEMBER NEEDS/OFFERINGS
Medicare
Part D and
Medicare Advantage Plan
Dear Friends,
Wednesday November 15th marks the beginning of Medicare Part D and
Medicare Advantage Plan open enrollment. The Medicare Part D open
enrollment period is only six weeks long, ending December 31st.
If you, your friends, or
relatives living in Colorado desire to enroll
or change plans, then the time to act is now, before the last minute.
Last year the vast
majority of headaches happened when plan members
tried to fill prescriptions at the pharmacy before the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid could process their paperwork. Again, if you are
thinking of enrolling in Part D please don’t wait until the end of
December to act.
Medicare products are one of the lines of insurance that I specialize
in. I would be happy to help you discover which plan makes the most
sense for you. If you would like my help please send me an e-mail at joelrosenblum@comcast.net
or give me a call at 720-298-3516.
Sincerely,
Joel Rosenblum

Walking
the Path with the
Baal Shem Tov
Winter Shabbaton with Rabbi
Ruth Gan Kagan
Over the past few years I have developed a deep connection to the Baal
Shem Tov and his
teachings. I found in them
profound guidance to the
spiritual quest of the modern seeker. These oral teachings, brought to
us through the lenses of different students, are gems of wisdom and
surprises. I would like to invite you to this Shabbaton to share with
me this adventure of walking the path with a timeless Master.
You may sign up for the full experience (highly recommended) or join us
for an individual session. The Shabbaton will be led in a way that each
segment is both freestanding while being part of a whole experience. It
is suited for all levels of learning. The Shabbaton includes a light
third meal of 'herring and shnapps'.
When: Shabbat Vayechi
(Chazak), Friday-Saturday 5-6 January, 2007
Session I: Friday 9-10:30 PM
Session II: Saturday 3:45-5:30 PM (5:30 Havdalah)
Session III: Saturday 6-8 PM
Where: Congregation Bonai Shalom, 1527 Cherryvale Road, Boulder, 80303.
Sliding Scale Tuition:
Full Shabbaton – $54 -
$90
Each Session - $18 -$36
Scholarships are also available.
For more information
or to register call:
Congregation Bonai Shalom (303) 442-6605
For questions you may also e-mail reb Ruth at ruthgan@netvision.net.il
Send checks to Congregation Bonai Shalom, 1527 Cherryvale Road,
Boulder, 80303. Please mark your checks “Besht Shabbaton”.
Rabbi Ruth Gan Kagan is from Jerusalem. She teaches classes and
workshops on prayer, on creating an intimate relationship with the
Divine, and
on connecting to God through
joy. Reb Ruth, who spent two
years in Boulder in 2001-2003, is happy to be back to share these
teachings.
