SHUL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND REMINDERS
.
Rosh Hashana:
- Volunteers
needed to help set up the rooms for the Beit Midrash and
Hashkama minyanim on Motzaei Shabbat October 1st immediately
following Ma'ariv, and to dismantle the Mechitzot and unset
the rooms, immediately after Maariv on Tuesday October 4th
(Motzaei Chag). Please remember that we are a
single community, even though we temporarily diverge to
several venues for high holiday tefillot. Please come help (it
will not take long) no matter which minyan you plan to attend.
- Maariv
on Rosh Hashana will be held in the main shul on
Sunday and Monday evenings. There are no reserved
seats and the balcony will be used for
men's seating. The downstairs women's section will
be open as usual for women.
- Below, please
find a recap of start times for the various minyanim
on Rosh Hashana morning:
6:30 Hashkama - Small Yeshiva Dining Room
(NEW LOCATION) - everyone will have a table
7:00 Yeshiva Library - Wheelchair and
Stroller Accessible (New Minyan**) – no
tables; no assigned seats
7:30 Main Shul Building (women's section sold
out)

**To accommodate our growing community, there will be an
additional minyan on Rosh Hashana morning in the Yeshiva
Library. Needed: Chazanim, Shofar blower and Torah Reader for
new Berman’s Rosh Hashanah 7:00 AM minyan. Contact Henry
Schwarzbaum in shul on Shabbat or hschwarzbaum@gmail.com
- Shofar.
There will be an additional shofar blowing at 12:15 in the
main shul on both days of Rosh Hashana for those who are
unable to be inside during the davening. Please allow people
to leave at the end of services before coming in, but please
be on time, as those blowing shofar will not blow repeatedly
for late comers.
