Thank
You
Thanks to Allied Jewish
Federation for their support of our Circle of Family Education program!
Our deepest
condolences go out to Pardes Levavot members Arleen, Jon and Jonah
Miller. Arleen's mother Shirley Elaine Garfinkle passed on 11 Tamuz,
5767 (June 27, 2007). The Los Angeles Times published the following
obituary: GARFINKLE , Shirley Elaine (81) Passed away on June 27, 2007.
Beloved wife of Dr. Jack Garfinkle for 63 years. Mother of Arleen, Jan,
Todd and Jody. Grandmother of Jonah, Idan, Avia, Ariel, Shira and
Bianca. Funeral was held at Groman Eden Mortuary on June 29,
2007. Shiva is being observed at the family residence. Friends are
welcome all week long. In lieu of flowers, donations are
requested to Shirley's favorite charity in Israel: House to House, c/o
Stacy Turk, 313 Bishop Dr., Macedonia, OH 44056.
Sadly we also extend our deepest condolences to Miriam Pollack whose
beloved dog Max died this past weekend.
We would also like to reiterate our thanks to John Weidner for
establishing the Leslie
Ann Weidner Memorial Scholarship Fund. The fund provides
scholarships to our post-Bnai Mitvah youth to attend
Jewish leadership programs, summer camps and Israel programs or trips.

SPECIAL MEMBER NEEDS/OFFERINGS
Making Parenting A
Spiritual Practice
A very special class at
Elat Chayyim, August 20-26 - Family Week, taught
by Rabbis Victor and Nadya Gross.
Children come into this
world bearing the wisdom gained in lifetimes lived
before and the memory of God breathing life into them once again. Their
greatest gift to us is to open our eyes to the unlimited potential and
purity of the universe. Our greatest gift to them is to overcome our
controlling need to shape them in our image.
The spiritual practice of
parenting seeks to create a safe, loving and supportive environment
where these young beings can grow in conscious partnership with their
Divine intention. When we learn to parent in this way, our homes are
defined by love, authenticity and meaning.
Come learn this practice, sourced in our rabbinic and mystical
tradition, and find new joy and purpose in your relationships with your
children.
