SHUL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND
REMINDERS
- The schedule of
lectures for tikun leil shavuaot (newly updated) may
be found on the Noticeboard.
A wonderful lineup of speakers is scheduled for adults,
youth, and kids from 2nd grade. In addition, we need a few
good men or women to help in setting up and maintaining the
cookies, drinks, and cups etc. during the night of Shavuot.
If you can help, please contact Rachel
Shechter or Mechael
Kanovsky. The refreshments were donated by
Fred Samuels in memory of his sister Chana Peril

- Special Lecture
Co-sponsored by Bermans shul and AMIT, Tuesday, May 26th,
2015. An exclusive English-speaking event with Rachelli
Sprecher Fraenkel, Teacher of Talmud and Halacha,

membership meeting on June 7th at 20:15 for the

2014 and the do’ach miluli for 2014 as required by the
Rasham Haamutot. The documents are available in the Member Documents section of the

- As part of the new
Minneapolis-Rehovot Partnership, we are exploring the twinning
of Bermans with the Darchei Noam shul of Minneapolis
http://darcheinoammn.org/.
Darchei Noam is a modern orthodox shul that is very similar
to Bermans in terms of its openness and tolerance and very
connected to Israel: seven of their children have made
aliyah or are currently serving in Tzahal. If you are
interested in exploring possible common projects with
Darchei Noam please contact David Tannor, david.tannor@weizmann.ac.il.
Lost and found:
- Double tallit trouble.
In two separate incidents (after Musaf and after
the d'var Tora), gentlemen using the men's room came out to
find a tallit waiting that was not theirs. If you are the
flip side of either of these switches, please contact Jerry
Kriger.
