East End Jewish Community Council
Unites Jewish Interests in Our Area

Do you know that Congregation Tifereth Israel is a member of the East End Jewish Community Council? In fact, our shul is one of the founding members of the organization, which is made up of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform synagogues located in western Suffolk County and on the North and South Forks.

The EEJCC serves Jewish interests in our area, and Rabbi Fenster is following up on the work of the organization. He and Gabbai Stanley Rubin will attend the next meeting and will report their findings and impressions to the congregation. Meetings are held at Temple Israel of Riverhead, 490 Northville Turnpike. Members and friends interested in attending with our rabbi and gabbai can call Stanley Rubin at 631-765-6848 for more information, or visit www.eejcc.com/.


Interested In Traveling To Israel? Shul Considers a Trip

It may have been Father Tom Murray's delightful and informative talk at the June 11 Shabbat service, telling members and friends about his pilgrimage to Israel. It may have been Rabbi Fenster's personal connections to the Holy Land. And it may have been an inspiration by Pastor Ann Van Cleef of the Orient Congregational Church. Whatever prompted the

notion, the idea is gaining momentum. The idea is this: The rabbi and the pastor are thinking of co-sponsoring a trip to Israel, likely in late October/early November of this year, for perhaps 10 days to two weeks. The idea was raised at the June 13 Congregation meeting, and a dozen hands shot up in response to the president's question, "How many here today would be interested?"

Marian Friedmann volunteered to gather more information about accommodations, meals and travel plans. But, of course, she needs to know how many people might want to go. Please contact Marian and let her know your interest, Not to worry, expressing interest does not obligate anyone to join the trip, but tells Marian whether or not the idea has appeal. Call 477-8901 or email marianfnyc@aol.com.

Volunteers Needed

Eastern Long Island Hospital is in need of volunteers at this critical time. A large percent of our regular volunteers have either left for Florida or have retired from their valued service and volunteer numbers are dwindling. Additionally, Governor Patterson is cutting aid to our hospital and ELIH has lost investments in the economic disaster of 2008 increasing our current support needs.


Contact Toni De Meo 477-5196 at the ELIH volunteer office or congregation member Regi Weile at 477-1797 for more information.
