Coming Up
High
Holy Days
Keep
an eye on your weekly News From Pardes
Levavot and www.pardeslevavot.org.
We are deep into planning a very special
High Holy Days experience. We will continue
our tradition of inviting all to attend free
of charge. This year we will be in a very
special venue with a very special
experience. Due to size constraints, we can
only host a limited number of attendees for
Rosh HaShanah. Pre-registration will be
required. Look for more news soon!
Getting
Involved
An
Invitation to Share Your Favorite Recipes
with Shepherd of the Hills
On
behalf of the cookbook committee, I thank you
for submitting your favorite recipes for the
project. And, as with any project, questions
have been submitted as well; questions such
as, What is the name of the cookbook? Why is
Shepherd doing a cookbook? How will the
proceeds be used? With an especially tight
church budget this year, will this project be
an expense? What will be the selling price?
Are we allowing individuals or businesses to
place sponsor ads? When will the cookbooks be
for sale?
The name for the cookbook is simply:
The Gunbarrel Community Cookbook
Lovingly assembled by Shepherd of the Hills
Lutheran Church.
This cookbook project is about raising funds
for future Shepherd youth programs and
providing cookbooks as gifts for the CIP
Thanksgiving baskets. We also pray that
through this cookbook project, more people
will re-discover Shepherd and find that we are
fun, warm and welcoming!
SHEPHERD YOUTH PROGRAMS: The goal is to
sponsor more community-invited Shepherd youth
events in 2011. We now have an awesome
volunteer youth leader who has some great
ideas for events.
CIP THANKGIVING BASKET: The inclusion of the
cookbook as a gift will hopefully convey that
we all are still finding our way in the
kitchen and in life! Sharing old family
favorite recipes is a very loving, personal
connection. It is our hope they simply enjoy
the cookbook and proudly share their own
recipes and traditions with family and
friends.
BUSINESS PLAN: The plan is to collect 300 or
more recipes and produce a quality cookbook
for sale in November. There is no cost to
Shepherd as the selling price will cover
printing expenses. The TBD selling price will
be either $5.00 or $7.50 each, as we are still
looking for a few advertising sponsors to help
defray some of the printing cost. Please
review the Sponsor
Ad Form for more details.
I hope this answers many of your concerned
questions. We absolutely do need you! Please
feel welcome and called to join us on this
exciting project. The more variety in the
collected recipes, the more treasured the
cookbook will become to the people we hope
will buy it. If you know of any businesses or
individuals who may be interested in
sponsoring the cookbook, please do forward
this message to them.
Again, thank you all so much for your help
with this exciting cookbook project. Please
hurry - all recipes are due by the end of
August!!!
Many blessings,
Joyce Wuebker, Co-Editor with Nina Soltwedel
& Lisa Prosch

It might not be
known by many outside of Israel but new
immigrants can bring in normal household items
duty free, but anything that looks like it
could be resold in Israel is supposed to be
subject to Israeli import duty.
Moshe Cohen, a
new immigrant, arrived at the Port of Haifa to
claim his household goods, which had just been
landed by ship. However, when he turned up, he
was immediately called into the Port offices
because the excise officer had noticed on the
manifest that Moshe had brought in seven
refrigerators.
"Mr Cohen," said
the officer, "one refrigerator is allowed duty
free, but certainly not seven of them."
Moshe replied,
"But I'm very frum. I need one refrigerator
just for meat, one just for dairy, and one
just for parve."
"OK," said the
officer, "that makes three, but what about the
other four?"
"It’s obvious,"
replied Moshe, "I need three for most of the
year and another three, for meat, dairy and
parve, for Pesach."
"That only makes
six," replied the officer, "What's the seventh
one for?"
"So nu," replied
Moshe, "What if I want to eat traif once in a
while?"
