SHUL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND REMINDERS
- Feeling kind of lonely?
Maybe no one knows how to find you. Join the hundreds of
lucky people who will have correct listings in the 2016
Bermans members' directory. We will imminently be
printing and distributing the new members' directory; please
check your listing (link to draft here), and review your
personal information in the ShulCloud directory here, and correct it as necessary.
Furthermore, as we are updating our SMS distribution list
based on these same data, please ensure that your phone
numbers are entered in full international format, e.g.
+972(54)1234567, +972(8)1234567.
- Volunteer help wanted.
Looking for coordinator (or co-coordinator) of meals
to be delivered to members who are sitting shiva. If meals are
requested, the job involves opening a page on
Take-them-a-meal, and -if necessary- encouraging people to
sign up. For more information and to volunteer, please contact
Chaya Tannor.
- From the Education
Committee: On shabbat Parshat Pekudei (March 12th)
we will be honored to have Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz
as a scholar in residence. Rabbi Breitowitz
received his bachelor of arts from Johns Hopkins University
and obtained semicha from Ner Israel Rabbinical College. He
graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and shortly
thereafter became the Rav of the Silver Spring Woodside Shule
in Silver Spring Maryland while maintaining status as a
tenured professor at the University of Maryland School of Law.
Details of the times and topics of the shiurim will follow.
For all those interested in hearing previously taped lectures
of Rabbi Breitowitz, please click on http://torahdownloads.com/s-8-rabbi-yitzchak-breitowitz.html?page=13
- More from the Education
Committee: Since the feedback of last lecture given
by Yad Vashem (on the 10th of Tevet) was somewhat negative, as
the lecture in English was given by a non native English
speaker (although the lecturer was definitely knowledgeable
and would have been more erudite in Hebrew), Yad Vashem
graciously, on their own, offered to provide another lecture
at Berman's, gratis. On Sunday April 3rd, we will be
having another lecture from Yad Vashem, this time
in Hebrew. The topic and lecturer's name will follow.
- Adar I and II Jointly
Sponsored Yahrtzeit Kiddush. The Adar I and II

(12.3.2016). To participate in the kiddush, please contact Judd Bogdansky no
later than Sunday March 6th 2016. Participation: 150 NIS.

ליארצייט אדר א' וב'. הקידוש המשותף לציון יארצייטים
של חודשי אדר יתקיים בשבת פרשת פקודי (12 מרץ 2016). אם ברצונך
