• Please note that till parshat Toldot, Shema in the Shabbat 8:15 minyan is said later than sof zman kriyat shema. Therefore, those davening in that minyan should say the shema before coming to shul.
   
• Chug Mibereishit is kicking off a new season!!! Come and learn parashat shavua in "chevruta" with your kids for a few minutes. Intended for gan to 6th graders, the chug takes place in shul every Shabbat after the Kiddush. Shimon and Menashe look forward to welcoming a "flood" of new faces this Shabbat.
   
• An envelope containing two checks (cheques) appeared in Jerry Kriger's mailbox. The only identification is on the checks themselves - neither obviously linked to Bermans members. One is a personal check from someone in Givat Yearim. The second is from a Lod company "יואוט מערכות" (Yu'ut Ma'arachot). Can anybody who knows about these checks please contact Jerry Kriger or Larry Israel.

  1. You can check for a date that does not clash with another event in the community.

PERSONAL & BASEMENT
Please note that the Berman Community is not responsible for the Halachic propriety or kashrut of items listed.

• Personal fitness training (including Pilates), in your home or mine for individual women, couples or small groups. Lessons specifically designed for your personal needs and given by an experienced trainer (graduate of Wingate Institute). Contact Gila (Asher) Levy, 052-3414677, 08-9463218
   
• If you know of a mispachton for a one year old baby full day care around Herzog or Hanasi Harishon, call Linda 0542571668.
   
• Looking for a donation of a small freezer and a food processor for Gallit (blind lady I volunteer with). Since she needs to have someone prepare food for her in advance, both would be VERY helpful! Chaya 0526991433
   
• Waiting until the next national crisis to pick up your family's gas masks? Not a good idea. Picking up gas masks for your whole family is a piece of cake. Just grab your Teudat Zehut and go to the gym (Usi v'Zohar) behind Havayot Tzafon aka Havayot Schweitz aka the Matnas on Sireni, between 1200-2000 from Sun-Thursday.
   
• ENGINEER SEEKING TECHNICAL WRITING OR EDITING POSITION
  During my experience as an electro-optics engineer, I've written reports, manuals, manufacturing instructions, co-authored and edited research papers, and edited documents written by non-native speakers. Recently, I wrote a review of solar-cell technologies, and just finished writing a complete user manual for an image analysis software package. Subject areas include electro-optics (my area of expertise), solar energy, electronics, materials, mechanics, and software. I have a knack and a love for writing, and try to make my documents enjoyable to the reader--no matter how seemingly dry or technical the subject matter.
  Looking for either salaried or freelance work. I can furnish a CV, work samples, and references. Call Haim at 054-757-0085.
