Summer Intern Update – HHD

August 8, 2019/in Featured, Intern

Summer Intern Update – HHD with Clayton Oppenheimer

For the past couple weeks, we’ve been doing several things to get ready for the High Holy Days. Each year these are the most attended services by far, so there are many things to prep. We counted each of the prayer books to ensure we have enough, we helped The Brotherhood with their Book of Remembrance project, and the Yahrzeit database and plaques are freshly updated.

As a Jew, we put loads of emphasis on community because repairing the world, Tikkun Olam, it is much easier to make an impact when we come together instead of standing alone. These services not only are helping people atone and bringing in the new year, but they also help people come to terms with their spirituality and refresh or tighten their relationship to G-d. As you atone and take in the new year, you should look to the future and this fresh year to see what changes you need to be the best you. These days can be looked at as a moral self-assessment. The sense of community is also there for moral support to the many participating congregants.

Summer Intern Update – Yahrzeit

Summer Intern Update – Yahrzeit with Clayton Oppenheimer

In between the tutoring sessions of B’nei Mitzvah students, I’ve been working on improving how we organize the Yahrzeit plaques and updating the database so we can locate each of them with ease.  It is not as exciting as tutoring, but this will help a family wanting to remember or honor their lost loved ones in finding their memorialized plaque. These plaques perpetuate and cherish the legacies of our fallen loved ones. Honoring the people you love should be stress-free.

As I learn patience from this monotonous task, I also feel this a very important aspect to the congregation and all the loved ones of those memorialized.  It is beautiful to be able to spark memories from these plaques to current loved ones, but through time it will spark interest of lost distant relatives and their legacies to the future families of our congregation.

Summer Intern Update – B’nei Mitzvah

Summer Intern Update – B’nei Mitzvah

These past few weeks my primary focus has been tutoring B’nei Mitzvah students. I have been scheduling appointments with 9 students, meeting them at The Temple, their home or over the phone. It helps smooth the process to having a B’nei Mitzvah.

It has been interesting trying to balance and organize appointments with these students, but so far it has been very successful. Each student has varying Hebrew skills and have been all very fun to teach. I’m constantly improving my teaching skills and learning patience and tips to deal with children.

Shalom!
