Our
Board of Directors recognizes the many volunteers who help our
Synagogue programs succeed. Ben Raber was one of those special
people. He served the Synagogue as Shammes of the daily minyans for
a number of years, creating a warm and friendly environment for all
who attended.
Adult
Leisure valued Ben’s participation as a volunteer driver. He always
contributed many program ideas, which he was happy to research for
us. He didn’t mind being the only male member of our Committee … I
think he enjoyed that status. We still miss him.

The
Adult Leisure group is always in need of volunteers, but never as
much as at the present time. All that is required is three hours
twice a month to transport people to the Synagogue (11:30 A.M.) and
to return them home (2:00 P.M.). We have a loyal group of volunteer
drivers who have participated in this project for many years. We are
all getting older ourselves. We find it harder to help the
handicapped members who want to attend our wonderful afternoons.
Will
you be able to help us out? If you’d like to volunteer, please call
the office at 452 3711 or email aweissmann@shaareyzedek.mb.ca. |
