• BermaNoar:
  1. Shabbaton on Parshat Vayechi (January 7th). All those interested from 7th grade and up, please send an email ASAP to Ilana Friedlander at: stevenf@netvision.net.il  or call: 057-5706592. More details will follow.
  2. We are planning on having activities for Bermanoar throughout the year and for years to come. In order to assess how many children are in the different age groups, we ask parents to supply us with the following information about your school age children: names, gender, age, email and/or Facebook and cell phone numbers (if they have them). Please click here to access the registration form.
     
   
• Membership Directory: In the very near future we plan to print and distribute a new version. The latest electronic (.pdf) version of the directory is available at http://bermanshul.org/restricted/membership.pdf. File access requires a username and password. Members are requested to review their listing in the current version (not the version printed over 2 years ago). Details may be updated online (preferred) or by sending e-mail to directory@bermanshul.org.

• 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 or send your request by e-mail to bermanshul@gmail.com.
