Page 2 Temple Israel CHAI-Lites AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2008 HEBREW SCHOOL NEWS Another school year has finished. It seems like the time flew. We really had a good year; and are looking forward to an even better one in September. Our trying out fun through learning was a huge success. What we did, after a subject was finished being taught instead of giving a written test we played a game "Jewporady." We put the children in teams and they had do get the answers. They had a great time while reviewing. We were able to evaluate our teaching procedures and what the children were learning. Junior Congregation was a huge success. Peter Oppenheimer does a fabulous job. We gave 6 X Chai to YAD Sarah in honor of him. It went to toys and books for sick and needy children. Kudos to all the children for always bringing in Seducah. Their change all adds up. We thank you. The calendar will be going out at the end of July. Please note the dates of our activities, and make every effort to attend. We hope you all have a great and safe summer. I can always be reached through The Temple, or by E-mail Basha17@aol.com. I will be going in for surgery and hopefully by Labor Day I will be able to join Shlomit and Revi and see you on the beach., Barbara Semel Thanks, Sy Sy Ulan, a true Temple Israel stalwart, is to be commended for his 2nd annual "Thank you, Minyanaires" breakfast, catered by Sy and Evalyn Rintel, outdoors at the Lido Towers.

He and his beloved wife Eleanor were a part of the Temple Israel family for 15 years. Rabbi Chiger was a Torah scholar, a man with a great sense of compassion for his congregants and source of help and inspiration to members with personal problems. He was a good friend to many of us, and we shall profoundly miss him. In his latter years, he devoted much time with his grandchildren, whom he doted on, and in return loved him. Our heartfelt sympathy is given to Eleanor, Simmie, Tsippi, Shifra and Joseph and their grandchildren.
