• Ohel Shai invites the community to a Tu B’Shvat lecture on Sunday evening 9 Feb / eve of 15 Shvat, at 8:15pm- after Ma’ariv. Dr Ari Schaffer of the Volcani Institute (and former member of Bermans) will speak in Hebrew on שבעת המינים וארבעת המינים במטבעות של ישראל: בעבר ובהווה (The evening is in memory of Ohel Shai’s former president Dani Paz z”l, who passed away suddenly last month).
• Donations of furniture and appliances needed. One of the students at Beit Midrash Maalot (Herzl St 148, Rehovot) is getting married in 3 wks b"h. He and his future wife come from financially challenged families. The young couple works but they need help in furnishing their rented apartment. Help would be appreciated so that they can build their Torah home on a firm basis including used appliances and furniture in good condition- stove, fridge, washing mach, table, chairs, couch. They will take the appliances and furniture immediately. Thank you. Alex Yeres (social worker). 0528308138

• Berman members are cordially invited to participate in this year's Tu B'Shvat Family Celebration, planned for Friday, 7.2.20, between 13:00 and 15:00 at the Colb Family Farm, located opposite Kvutzat Shiller in Rehovot. The event is being organized by Psifas, Kvutzat Yachad, and Dror Yisrael. We'll pick oranges to be donated to the needy, have picnics (for families who bring their own food; bring ground covering), and engage in various activities (such as creative group games, art activities and preparing orange juice), all in the spirit of the holiday. Oranges can be eaten during the event, but not taken home. Since the event is outdoors, it's important to bring hats and water, and to wear appropriate clothes. The event is free but pre-registration is required at https://goo.gl/forms/46jqh4chCQpIiZz93. A link to a Waze map on how to get to the farm is: https://waze.com/ul/hsv8trgj2q.
