HOSPITALITY, COMMUNITY, COMINGS & GOINGS
The community wishes to know about new arrivals or people planning to come to Rehovot so that we can welcome them. You may send in their details for the weekly bulletin, to hospitality@bermanshul.org or to Chaya Tannor.

• The organization Nativ, whose purpose is to guide halachakly non-Jewish soldiers go through the giyur process, has asked our kehilla to host a group of soldiers (male and female) on shabbat Noach (I know that the Marders have a bar mitzvah that shabbat but we cleared it with them). We need about 12 families to host two soldiers each and give them a positive shabbat experience and possibly be a mentoring and support family in their giyur process.
  To all those who are interested please contact Ilana Friedlander at either stevenf@netvision.net.il or at 057-570-6592 ASAP.
   
• Jeremy Seltzer is 22 and newly arrived from the U.S. for 2 years of graduate studies in chemistry.
  He is interested in invitaions. Call him at 052-527 7805.

CALENDAR
Happenings of interest to the community are listed in various Google Calendars, viewable at http://calendar.bermanshul.org or on the shul web page www.bermanshul.org. If you use Google calendars you can combine our calendars with your own. Davening times are given in the official shul Calendar available from http://bermanshul.org/calendar.pdf.
Please note that the Berman Community does not take responsibility for the propriety of the non-shul events.

• A number of other Rehovot events are published at www.pirsuma.com
• Members organizing private events (e.g. wedding, bar/bat mitzva celebrations etc.) are advised to use the shul calendar as follows:
  1. You can check for a date that does not clash with another event in the community
  2. You may have your event listed as an anonymous "private event" so that others can avoid scheduling another event at the same time. Please let any board member know, and we will put it on the calendar.
