TORAH PORTION

'kudei ... [The] Records [of the Tabernacle]

Exodus ... 38:21-40:38

These are the records of the Tabernacle, the Tabernacle of the Pact, which were drawn up at Moses' bidding--the work of the Levites
under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. - Exodus 38:21

SUMMARY:

A statistical summary of the materials used for the Tabernacle and an account of producing the priestly vestments are recorded. Moses blesses the Israelites for the work they did. (38:21-39:42)
Upon God's instruction, Moses sets up the Mishkan and the priests are anointed and consecrated. (40:1-33)
A description is given of a cloud that covers the Mishkan
by day and a fire that burns by night, indicating God's
Presence therein. (40:33-38)

Come Out and Get Involved!

Volunteers are the heart of our congregation.
Without all the time and energy from volunteers,
our events would be impossible to pull off. With that said,
the Membership Committee wants to hear what you are passionate about and how we can get you involved
doing something you enjoy.

One of membership's biggest events is our annual
Hanukkah Menorah Lighting. Do you enjoy planning events? Membership would love a congregant or two to volunteer to lead or assist in leading this event. Additional volunteer opportunities include being on the Care Committee, Social Action Committee or create a committee for something you are passionate about.

Membership is here to help you find a piece of the congregation
that calls to you. From bringing challah to religious school, sponsoring an oneg, to staying after services to clean up,
it is our volunteers that make CNT our home.

Warm Regards

Melissa Adelman, Director at Large

Meet Your Board

We're continuing our Board profile series this week

with Past President Michael Gutenstein!

I was born in NYC and grew up in Ridgewood NJ. Elaine and I moved to Atlanta because of a fully paid transfer in 1988. I have had a varied career. I have been a newspaper boy back in the stone age, pumped gas through school, worked in a coin auction business, as a computer programmer for a major bank, oil and gas company, medical billing companies, several hospitals and auto insurance companies, ran a small personal chef business, and finally work a technical project manager for a medical transcription company. I am currently retired and working on money management
and with charitable organization like CNT.

I have been inspired by the examples set by my parents
to live by a few simple rules:

* Live within your means

* Lead by example - don't ask anyone to do something
you aren't prepared to do yourself

* Give back with time and money - The only real problems can't be solved with money, so give people a hand up when you can

* Don't make promises you can't keep

How do you spend your free time?

I love cooking. I love to try new recipes and trying to create new dish by raiding the refrigerator. I am a avid cyclist riding in many charity events in Georgia. My goal this year is to ride 2000 miles. My guilty pleasure is Marvel comic books and movies. I have been reading and following them since I was a kid and just never grew out of it. However, at the end of the day, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my family.

What's your favorite dish to eat?

Anything with chocolate, but no coffee.

What are three things on your bucket list?
Completie the Georgia 6-Gap bike ride
Visit every state ( I have been to 39 so far)

Be on a TV game show

What's your favorite music to listen to?
Anything but disco, country, and western

If you could choose any one or two famous people
to have dinner with, who would it be and why?

Dead - George Carlin and Robert Heinlein: two
of the greatest philosophers I have ever read

Living - Jim Collins and Warren Buffett: to discover
how to learn with preconception getting in the way.
