On September 30, 2007, the United Jewish Center will honor Dr. Ralph Falkenstein in a long-overdue gesture of deep respect and gratitude. Ralph, a past synagogue president, has been an anchor for our community in many ways.
With dedication and love, Ralph has served the United Jewish Center. And with high standards, diligent efforts, and caring patience, he serves the greater Danbury community as an exemplary physician.
Please join us at La Fortuna Restaurant to honor this very special man.
For more information, contact the United Jewish Center at (203) 748-3355.
Remember those less fortunate!
Personal Care Items Collection: There is a great need in the community for items such as deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo and soap. When you shop for yourself, buy a bit for someone else and bring it to the UJC. Leave donations in the bin near the steps.
Cell Phone Collection: Donate your old cell phone to be used by victims of domestic violence. Bring the phone and charger to the UJC and they will be brought to the Women’s Center to be used just in emergency situations by those who cannot afford their own phones.

If you or a loved one is ailing - at home or in the hospital - and you would like a phone call or visit, please call and leave a message on our clergy’s voicemail(s). Danbury Hospital’s security concerns mean that we may not find out in a timely manner.
Shoftim (Deut. 16:18 – 21:9) is read on August 18, 2007.
Chapter 16
18 You shall appoint magistrates and officials for your tribes, in all the settlements that the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall govern the people with due justice. 19 You shall not judge unfairly: you shall show no partiality; you shall not take bribes, for bribes blind the eyes of the discerning and upset the plea of the just. 20 Justice, justice shall you pursue, that you may thrive and occupy the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
