• From the gabbaim- Mi-Sheberach Lecholim. As part of a periodic "reset", we are removing all names from the Mi-Sheberach list. If you want to add a name, please send it by email to gabbai@bermanshul.org. The list is intended for acute illness, and names will stay on for only 2 weeks unless we are notified otherwise. In case of chronic illness, please recite the name quietly from your seat while we are saying the prayer in shul. If you have additional name(s) that were not submitted by email, please write them out before shabbat to hand to the gabbaim. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Refua Shleima. The Gabbaim.
  
  
• ..and another request from the gabbaim: If you have a simcha or are commemorating an event which you feel warrants your getting an aliyah or other kibud, please inform Jerry Kriger before Shabbat. The Gabba'im are happy to try and accommodate all requests as best they can, but they cannot be expected to keep track on their own of everything that goes on in the community. Thank you.
• בקשה מהגבאיים: במידה ויש לכם שמחה או אירוע אחר שבגללו אתם חושבים שמגיע לכם עליה או כל כיבוד אחר, בבקשה ידעו את ג'רי קריגר עליו לפני שבת. הגבאיים ינסו למלא כל בקשה כמיטב יכולתם, אבל אי אפשר לצפות מהם לעקוב אחרי כל האירועים שמתרחשים אצלינו בקהילה. בתודה מראש.
  
  
• Sivan Jointly Sponsored Yahrtzeit Kiddush. The Sivan Yahrtzeit JSK will be held on Shabbat Parashat Beha'alotcha (18.6.2016). To participate in the kiddush, please contact Judd Bogdansky no later than Monday June 13, 2016. Participation: 150 NIS per person memorialized.
• קידוש משותף ליארצייט סיון. הקידוש המשותף לציון יארצייטים של חודש סיון יתקיים בשבת פרשת בהעלתך (18 ביוני 2016). אם ברצונך להשתתף נא ליצור קשר עם ג'וד בוגדנסקי לא יאוחר מיום שני, 13 ביוני. השתתפות: 150 ש'ח לשם של כל נפטר.
