- The Bermans Community has been
blessed with many new families in the last several years. To
help the older members (“vatikim”) and newcomers get to know
each other, we are planning two consecutive special
Shabbatot. On Shabbat Chayei Sara (Nov. 7), we will
be pairing new families with vatikim for Shabbat
lunch. Newcomers who are interested in being
invited and vatikim who are interested in hosting (or vice
versa) should email hospitality@bermanshul.org.
We will attempt to match families by neighborhood, occupation
and/or country/city of origin. The following Shabbat (Nov.
14), Shabbat Toldot, the Kiddush will be sponsored by
the shul in honor of our new members. We will use
the opportunity to encourage additional interactions between
older and newer members.
