SHUL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND REMINDERS
- Did your Shabbat guests
arrive 2 hours late for lunch? Maybe they couldn't find you.
Please update your contact information in the Berman
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.
- **Next week**
On shabbat Parshat Pekudei (March 11-12) we will be honored to
have Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz as a scholar in
residence. Rabbi Breitowitz received his BA degree
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 Shul in Silver Spring Maryland
while maintaining status as a tenured professor at the
University of Maryland School of Law. All those interested in
hearing previously taped lectures of Rabbi Breitowitz, are
invited to visit his website at http://torahdownloads.com/s-8-rabbi-yitzchak-breitowitz.html?page=13
Rabbi Breitowitz will give two lectures:
The Plight of the Aguna, on Friday Night the
2nd of Adar 2 5776 (Mar 11th, 2016) at 8:45 PM
The Fifth Galut of Yishmael and the Story of Purim
on Shabbat, following Mincha at about 17:30 PM
Details on the Noticeboard
- 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. Therefore, 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.
- Volunteer(s) needed. Looking
for coordinator (or co-coordinator) for 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.
- Please join
us for our Pre-Purim Chesed Event for parents and children
(ages 2-12) at Matnas Havayyot, co-sponsored by
Bermans, on March 14, 2016 from 17:00-19:00. Each child is
asked to bring a gift, which the kids will wrap and decorate
together. The wrapped presents will be distributed to poor
children. There will also be Purim art activities, snacks and
fun. We are looking for volunteers to help with set up and
clean up, and other jobs. Any donations of gifts or funding
are greatly appreciated. Please contact Leora Ronen to sign
up/volunteer 0508936488, or mail: ronenleora@gmail.com.
