TORAH PORTION
Vayeishev ... [Jacob] Settled
Genesis 37:1−40:23
Jacob now settled in the land of his father's sojourning, in the land of Canaan. - Genesis 37:1
SUMMARY:
- Jacob is shown to favor his son Joseph, whom the other brothers resent. Joseph has dreams of grandeur. (Genesis 37:1-11)
- After Joseph's brothers had gone to tend the flocks in Shechem,
Jacob sends Joseph to report on them. The brothers decide against murdering Joseph but instead sell him into slavery. After he is shown Joseph's coat of many colors, which had been dipped in the blood of a kid, Jacob is led to believe that Joseph has been killed by a beast. (Genesis 37:12-35)
- Tamar successively marries two of Judah's sons, each of whom dies. Judah does not permit her levirate marriage to his youngest son.
She deceives Judah into impregnating her. (Genesis 38:1-30)
- God is with Joseph in Egypt until the wife of his master, Potiphar, accuses him of rape, whereupon Joseph is imprisoned.
(Genesis 39:1-40:23)

I have a lot to cover in this message. Many good things have happened this week and I will need your help to keep this momentum going.
Sunday, we had our best Shopping Event ever! It brought in $945.45 - a record for this fundraising event. Big thanks to Julie Segal, Johanna Kohler, Sue, Larry, Karen, and Stephanie Goldstein, and Bob and Sue Huebsch. Thanks also to Communications, Religious School and Membership for their support.
The votes for the 2018 CNT board election have been counted.
Rob Goldstein will be the new Vice President, Elizabeth Poguntke will be the new Director of Finance, Wendy Meyer will continue as Director of Communications, Bob Abrams and Heather Pacin will be our Members at Large. Thanks to Julie Segal for overseeing
the Elections committee: Stuart Napshin - Chairman, Stephanie Milford and Sue Huebsch. This was the fastest election turn
around we have ever had.
While this election was more efficient, we did have a lower response rate. We need input on why this occurred and what can
be done next year to increase participation. Please click on the suggestion box and enter your comments.
There will be an all-day internal Board transition meeting on December 30 to review the past year, welcome the new Board members, thank the outgoing Board members, and plan for next year and beyond. To continue the momentum we have built this past year, I am looking to our members and community to provide suggestions and topics for our meeting. I have already gotten some - allocation of donations, fundraising ideas, using our space (allocation and expansion), communicating with members and the community, programs to offer - to name just a few. The Board needs everyone's input to plan for the future of the CNT family. Please send your ideas to the suggestion box or talk to a board member so we have your input
Thank you for your help.

President
