| Parking Discipline – DON'T LET UP! |
| It is CRITICAL that we maintain STRICT parking DISCIPLINE by never parking in the shul's lot if there are already eight cars parked there. If you are able to walk please do not park in the lot under any circumstances and leave the spots for those who cannot walk as far. We are asking for everyone's cooperation at this sensitive time. Each week the level of cooperation has increased. For this we thank you! |

| This Weeks Parsha |
| Va'etchanan (Deuteronomy) 3:23-7:11...Click Here |
| Moses tells the people of Israel how he implored G-d to allow him to enter the land of Israel, but G-d refused, instructing him instead to ascend a mountain and see the Promised Land. Continuing his "review of the Torah," Moses describes the Exodus from Egypt and the Giving of the Torah, declaring them unprecedented events in human history. "Has there ever occurred this great thing, or has the likes of it ever been heard? Did ever a people hear the voice of G-d speaking out of the midst of the fire... and live? ... You were shown, to know, that the L-rd is G-d... there is none else beside Him."... |

| Ongoing Israel Advocacy is Critical |
| As Israel becomes more and more isolated in the world community because of the libelous lies and mischaracterizations, it becomes more and more important for us to find a way to positively advocate non-apologetically for Israel and bring enlightenment to the dark world through the truth. For this purpose a new group called the San Diego Israel Coalition is currently being formed. The group will both actively and reactively advocate for Israel in a peaceful, inclusive, and uplifting way. |
| Rabbi Eilfort attended the meeting last night and was impressed by the organization of the heads of the group, the number of participants who came on relatively short notice, and the obvious passion for Israel. We are urging our friends to consider joining this group and hopefully volunteering in their behalf. |
| To join the Google Discussion Group simply send an email to san-diego-israel-coalition+subscribe@googlegroups.com, or for more information send an email to sdisraelcoalition@gmail.com. We must realize that when Israel is unjustly attacked and its basic legitimacy questioned that endangers all Jews, everywhere. It is time we make a stand! Please be part of the solution and ACT as soon as possible. |

| FREE Life Insurance Benefits Shul - PLEASE ACT NOW |
| You read that correctly. We learned during the After-Life seminar of an available program that is only legal in California that offers participants free life insurance. |
| This is how it works: Participant calls Alan Green, a reputable insurance broker who is a friend of the shul. Alan signs the person up over the phone (it takes about 15 minutes). Alan arranges for free medical exam taken at participant’s home (takes about 30 minutes). Assuming the participant is insurable a new policy is written. The premium for the policy is paid for by Alan using his commission. The excess from the commission check is divided between Alan and the shul. The participant then has life insurance for about two years. When it comes time to renew the policy the participant may simply let it lapse (there is nothing wrong with allowing it to lapse – it does not affect ones credit score), or choose to keep the policy in force by paying the premium. |
| To summarize the participant gets free life insurance for about two years (naming anyone he/she likes as the beneficiary), and Chabad at La Costa gets part of the commission as a donation. It costs nothing and everyone wins. |
| Why do the insurance companies offer this program? They are betting that most people will keep the policy in force long enough for them to make some money but short enough to cancel it before they have to pay the benefits. |
| Please help the shul while helping yourself by calling Alan Green at 619-265-8181. Alan will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. |
