Join us as we head out with Shepherd of the Hills to clean our section
of highway - 71st Street between Mineral Road and Lookout Road. Bring
warm layered clothes, shoes appropriate for walking along the side of
the road, and work gloves. We will meet at the shul to work out
logistics, pass out safety vests and discuss roadside safety, and then
head out for the cleaning. This is always a great way to get to know
other members of our congregation and enjoy an hour or two outdoors. We
look forward to seeing you there!

For
months, Mrs. Pitzel had been nagging her husband to go with her to the
seance parlor of Madame Freda. "Milty, she's a real gypsy, and she
brings the voices of the dead from the other world. We all talk to
them! Last week I talked with my mother, may she rest in peace. Milty,
for twenty dollars you can talk to your zayde who you miss so much!"
Milton Pitzel could not resist her appeal. At the very next seance at
Madam Freda's Seance Parlor, Milty sat under the colored light at the
green table, holding hands with the person on each side. All were
humming, "Oooom, oooom, tonka tooom."
Madam Freda, her eyes lost in trance, was making passes over a crystal
ball. "My medium...Vashtri," she called. "Come in. Who is that with
you? Who? Mr. Pitzel? Milton Pitzel's zayde?"
Milty swallowed the lump in his throat and called, "Grampa? Zayde?"
"Ah, Milteleh?" a thin voice quavered.
"Yes! Yes!" cried Milty. "This is your Milty! Zayde, are you happy in
the other world?"
"Milteleh, I am in bliss. With your bubbe together, we laugh, we sing.
We gaze upon the shining face of the Lord!"
A dozen more questions did Milty ask of his zayde, and each question
did his zayde answer, until "So now, Milteleh, I have to go. The angels
are calling. Just one more question I can answer. Ask. Ask."
"Zayde," sighed Milty, "when did you learn to speak English?"
