OUR STORIES—PAUL COHEN
At our July 2019 Board Meeting,
CLS wonderful marketing
"guru", Karin Eberhard, focused
the Board's efforts on telling
"our story" on social media and
through other marketing
opportunities. She asked us to
recall what were the
circumstances or people that
initially prompted each of our joining and
participating in the Synagogue. There is
something powerful in sharing these stories with
others, and potentially could make the difference
of new members considering or actually joining. I
thought about this after the meeting, and easily
recalled the circumstances and people that
prompted Shari and I to join CLS.
When Shari and I saw the real possibility of
relocating from Southeastern Pennsylvania in
2015 during a visit here around Labor Day, we
checked all of the boxes on our first visit here.
One of those boxes was, of course, stopping into
the local synagogue. When Google Maps
announced that we'd reached our destination, we
thought that perhaps we'd entered the address
incorrectly, but after looking more carefully, we
saw the posted calendar and street signs, which
confirmed that we were, indeed, in the right place.
The small building told us this was likely a much
smaller community than our previous two
congregations of 1200 and 600 families. Still, we
reached out to Rabbi Mindie via email, and had
lunch with her on our next visit to Flagstaff in
November. During lunch, she suggested that she
would arrange for us to be invited to a Shabbat
dinner. Within a day, we heard from Ron and
Linda Borkan, who invited us to their home for
Shabbat dinner that very weekend, along with
Helene Mann and Steve Grayson. What better
way to find out so much more about life in
Flagstaff and Temple Heichal Baoranim than with
great food and conversation from these four
generous people. They made us feel welcome,
and wanted us to seriously consider joining their
synagogue. This was a very welcoming and caring
community they said, and the four of them truly
embodied that.
In following up with Karin's request, I ask
everyone reading this to recall the how and why
they joined CLS. You can email your story to Karin
('KARIN EBERHARD' [email protected]) or
myself ('Paul Cohen'[email protected]).
Also, you can let me know if you want to share
your story in a future newsletter or permit Karin to
post it on our Facebook page.

ed her first year at Barrett,

past year, Becca has actively
