Parasha of the Week: Matot
What is
G-dcast? Watch
cartoons based on the story Jews are reading in the Torah this
week. Four minutes each week - some tell stories, some sing country
songs. (And then there's the hip hoppers, too!)

Can You Do a
Mitzvah in September?
Do you live within
walking distance of PCS? Are you willing and able to do a mitzvah? The
family of Zennor Angove-Cohen, who is becoming
a Bat Mitzvah September 20, 2014, is looking for a place to stay for
close relatives, a family of four. They are coming in from out of town
and need a place to stay within walking distance of PCS on Friday,
September 19 and Saturday, September 20. If you think you can help,
please be in touch with Zennor's grandmother,
Elaine Cohen, at elainec@acohen.com

SOME WAYS TO HEAL the WORLD
The American
Jewish World Service is organizing a petition drive to pass
the International Violence Against Women Act (IVAWA).
You can sign
on line at the AJWS website. Please consider supporting
their emergency relief efforts, which at the moment include Typhoon
Haiyan in the Philippines, the Haiti earthquake, and drought in East Africa.
Donations to the Joint
Distribution Committee, the JDC, are being solicited to support at-risk Jewish
children and elderly in Ukraine. We've been asked if there is an
alternative to UNICEF for emergency relief to children in Syria. You
might consider Mercy Corps. And of course Doctors Without Borders does very important work, world-wide, and is always
worthy of support. Thank you!
