| SOMETHING TO REMEMBER US BY: THE NAHALAT SHALOM ARCHIVES PROJECT In this world it is far easier to destroy than it is to create; it is far easier to hold together a group of people by identifying a common enemy than it is to form a community based in acceptance and tolerance. The Congregation Nahalat Shalom has created a tolerant community going into its third decade—no small accomplishment. To commemorate this sustained achievement, please join us in putting together In Celebration, the Nahalam Shalom Archives Project. The project, in a very comprehensive but also very informal way, will chronicle the past years through pictures, oral histories, documents, and whatever. Think of it as a giant vital interactive scrapbook for the unfolding of the history of this extraordinary community. For a beginning we would like to start gathering pictures, programs, tokens from upcoming events, especially bar and bas mitzvahs. So, if you have one planned please consider putting aside for us a few pictures and whatever else you would like to use to publicly remember the service. With these, we will begin to assemble smaller scrapbooks. On the agenda will be the recording of oral histories, the collecting of information from past milestones, and such. All suggestions and photo and memorabilia donations will be greatly appreciated. Just call the office at 343-8227. After all, we are making history, the good kind. Dennis G. Williams, a Ph.D. in Architecture in man-enviornment studies, has specialized in the study of the creation of place. He now brings his talents to Nahalat Shalom to help us create ours. | |||||||||
