For the Blessings of Spring Flowers - Dayenu

Even though Passover is over, it isn’t too late to count your blessings and to help KSS.
 
 
Dear Kehillath Shalom Synagogue Members and Friends,
 
The Board hopes you and your family had a peaceful and meaningful Passover. Just as the Haggadah reminds us to say Dayenu (“That would have been enough for us”) for all the blessings that the Israelites received that helped bring them out of bondage in Egypt and into freedom in the Land of Milk and Honey, it is also a good time to recognize how blessed we are here in 2013.
 
Today, we are asking that you support Kehillath Shalom Synagogue by making a financial contribution to our Dayenu Fundraiser.
 
Let us remember the many blessings in our lives and realize how much more we have than would have been enough for us. Please count your blessings and consider making a donation of $2 for each one.
 
Blessings:
I have a safe and permanent place to live. Dayenu!
I have enough to eat. Dayenu!
I have clothes to keep me cool and to keep me warm. Dayenu!
I have a spouse/partner who supports me. Dayenu!
I have _____ children and grandchildren. Dayenu!
I have _____ siblings. Dayenu!
I have _____ parents, in-laws, grandparents and great grandparents. Dayenu!

I have _____ years of KSS supporting me by providing a place to worship, a place to gather with other Jews and a place to promote spiritual peace and growth. Dayenu!
 
Total number of blessings _____ x $2 = _____
 
Please make your check payable to Kehillath Shalom Synagogue and mail it to the office at 58 Goose Hill Road, Cold Spring Harbor, NY  11724. You can also make a donation via credit card if you call the office at 631-367-4589.
 
For next year and many more years after that at KSS,
