TRS Listserv

TRS-List:

Looking for a way to connect with more fellow TRS members?   Do you want to know who else is erecting a Sukkoth this year?   Do you need to ask for a ride to services on Friday night or seek a babysitter next Saturday?  Do you want to discuss an issue or ask a basic question about Judaism or the Temple?  You can do all of these things and more just by JOINING THE TRS-LIST listserv!  This is the only way to link to other TRS members, and it's free. 

Just go to http://listserv.shamash.org/cgi-bin/wa?A0=TRS-LIST.  On the right side of the screen under "Options" click on "Subscribe or Unsubscribe."  Fill in the form and click on "Update Options."  You will receive an email from Shamash that requires a response, a security measure to assure it is you who is subscribing.  That's it, you're subscribed!  To send a message to all other subscribers, address your email to trs-list@shamash.org.  And don't worry, it's just as easy to unsubscribe or choose to get just one message daily containing all the TRS-List messages.  Shamash even has built-in virus protection!  You'll love TRS-LIST, so go ahead and subscribe

-- Join the online TRS community.

Note that this listserv is not an official Temple activity.  It is organized and run by Temple members for Temple members.  There are some general guidelines to be aware of to help assure that the TRS-List is a fulfilling experience for everyone:

  • A listserv is an automated email distribution system.  Send an email to it and every other subscriber receives your message.
  • If you have questions or concerns for our clergy or staff, please contact them privately.
  • Postings may be on any topic that you would normally raise with a group of friends from    the Temple.  Attachments are supported.
  • In responding to a message, consider whether you want to share your reply with the entire list or only the person who made the original posting.  If you just "reply" it goes only to the sender.
  • Always keep the tone of the messages during discussions courteous and respectful.
  • If you are concerned about getting too many emails, choose the "Digest (traditional)" option on the Shamash signup page.  It forwards summaries of the day's messages to you in one email message.
  • If at any time you want to temporarily suspend receipt of messages you can select "Mail delivery disabled temporarily" under "Miscellaneous" on the Shamash webpage. Or you can unsubscribe. 

·     You may also unsubscribe by sending an e-mail message from the e-mail account you used to sign up to: Listserv@shamash.org   In the text of the message, type: unsubscribe trs-list  If you are not at the e-mail account your signed up from then send the following e-mail to listserv@shamash.org:  unsubscribe trs-list <e-mail address  you want to unsubscribe>

Enjoy using the TRS-list listserv!  If you have any questions, send an email to Sam Simon (sam@simon.net) or Jim Talens (jtalens@verizon.net).

TRSSIMCHA

Have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah coming up? A wedding? A bris or baby naming? Are you in the planning stages now and are looking for ideas to make the event more meaningful -- or for possible shortcuts for some of your research? Or -- have you been through a simcha recently and are willing to share ideas and advice with other TRS members? In either case, please join TRSSIMCHA. To join this new volunteer-administered list:

  • Send an e-mail to listproc@shamash.org. In the body of the e-mail, type this: subscribe trssimcha & your name.

  • Contact Elisa Joseph Anders at AndersEJ@aol.com with any questions about signing up for TRSSIMCHA.

trsgreen

Many of us have become aware recently of the importance of reducing our carbon footprint.  It is vital that we do what we can, both individually, as families, and as a community.  There is much we can do -- from small things such as reusing bags and turning off lights to larger things such as changing our transportation habits, making our homes and commercial buildings more energy-efficient, and working as a community to effect broader change.

TRS is taking action.  Committees are forming now to work in several areas of going green.  This listserv is one of the first steps.  Join now.  Tell others about what you are doing to go green.  Have a question?  Ask other members what they are doing.  Ask about green contractors.  Share requests for green letter-writing campaigns.  

  • Send an e-mail to listproc@shamash.org. In the body of the e-mail, type this: subscribe trsgreen & your name.

  • Contact Elisa Joseph Anders at AndersEJ@aol.com or Sam Simon at sam@simon.net with any questions about signing up for trsgreen.
