MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Dear Members of Or Chadash,
Happy June! It's such a busy time of year for all of us that none of us want one more thing on our calendar. I certainly feel that way, so I pick and choose what I commit to attending.
Each of us are a part of the OC family for different reasons. Your personal reasons are strong enough that you choose to commit your hard earned time and money. We feel blessed to have such a caring, kind and engaged community.
On Thursday, June 6th at 7:00 PM we will hold our Annual Congregational Meeting. This year we will be sharing a lot of important information, and we want all our members to be part of the discussion.
I ask that you carve out an hour or two on Thursday to attend and continue to help us make Or Chadash a special place.
I look forward to seeing you at Or Chadash's Annual Meeting, Thu
rsday, June 6th at 7:00 PM.
Shalom,
Debbie Weiss

THIS WEEK
'S SCHEDULE
SHABBAT WORSHIP
Friday, June 7th - Shabbat Services and Sha'bark Shalom (See details below) - 7:00 PM
Saturday, June 1st -
Shabbat
Services and Bat Mitzvah of Kate DalPezzo -
10:00 AM
Kate DalPezzo will become a Bat Mitzvah on Saturday, June 8. Kate is the first daughter for Debi and Tony DalPezzo, sister to Andrew and Noah. She attends J.P. Case Middle School as a 7th grader. Kate is a competitive cheerleader for the Jr. Red Devils UCA National Cheer Team and has competed in Orlando, Florida for the National title three times.
This was a challenging year with her upper level classes in school, maintaining straight A's, practicing three hours a night for cheerleading and preparing for her Bat Mitzvah. Kate's Torah portion Bemidbar is about how Moses was commanded to take a census about the number of Israelites but didn't count woman, anyone under the age of 18, children or anyone that was injured. This was an unreliable census and Kate discovers that today we have to make sure that everyone is counted because they all do count.

With Special Guest: Dr. Kurt Blaicher, D.V.M. (

Join us for our first ever Sha'bark Shalom - an outdoor Shabbat Service.

Let us celebrate all the beloved animals in our lives,
they are our companions and friends.
The wonderful dogs and all their joy and energy,
the amazing cats who rule us and are our masters,
our gerbils and hamsters and bunny rabbits and fish,
the birds that flap in the cages wishing they were free but loving to be with us,
and all other animals that make us smiles or curious.
Let us celebrate each and everyone of them and all the joy they bring to us and thank G-d for the blessing that they provide our lives.
-- Rabbi Benjamin Sternman

SCRIP NEWS
It's never too late to get in on this fundraising gem! Scrip is another name for gift cards, and when you sign up to buy them on the www.shopwithscrip website, every purchase you make earns Or Chadash much-needed (free) funds. There are hundreds of retailers, offering varying percentages back to Or Chadash. And Or Chadash shares the benefits with you as credit on your dues. This is truly a win-win opportunity!
Here is how members of the Scrip Program are helping Or Chadash each month:
January: 19 orders for $440
February: 16 orders for $358
March: 16 orders for $364
April: 17 orders for $518
May: 10 orders for $328

TOTAL dollars Or Chadash is giving back to members as dues credit: $502.
Can we count on you to place an order in June?
Our June deadline is: Saturday, June 15.
Buying scrip each month is a wonderful mitzvah you can do all year long!
Check this out:
- $500 of ShopRite scrip each month for a year = $240 earnings for OC
- 50 families ordering $500 of ShopRite scrip each month for a year = adds up to $12,000 earnings for OC
We can do this!
