HOSPITALITY, COMINGS & GOINGS - הכנסת אורחים
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.
- On Shabbat Parshat Tazria-Metzora April 20, we were asked to host Nativ soldiers.
We need 15-20 families. The Nativ course is open to all Olim (Jewish under 10 years
in Israel) & non Jewish. During this course they learn about Jewish history,
Zionism, basic Tanach, Chagim etc. For those who want to convert, this is a preparation
course before they start the conversion seminars. The Shabbat spent with a family
is one of the highlights of the Nativ course, but as it is the first time for most
of them participating in a Jewish orthodox Shabbat they naturally have some fears.
For most of them it will be the first time experiencing Hachnasat Orchim. Unfortunately
quite a few of them experienced rejection as Olim ... we hope a Shabbat at Berman's
will give them a different experience. As not all of them need or want to convert,
it would be fine to commit to only hosting them this Shabbat, for those of you who
would like to continue hosting them during their conversion (3-4 Shabbatot), we
will make the match. As Pesach is right before this Shabbat I would appreciate it
if you would get back to me ASAP so I can arrange the hosting before then (the soldiers
come in couples, either boys or girls). For more information & to sign up please
contact Ilana Friedlander at: stevenf@netvision.net.il
or 057-5706592 Thanks!
