- Wanted-
Shlichei Tzibbur for the Yamim Noraim. We cannot
predict the future, but it’s safe to assume that the upcoming
Yamim Noraim will be very different than past years’. The Shul
is committed to maximizing people’s opportunity to participate
in davening over the High Holidays and is therefore planning to
convene in small minyanim in compliance with such Ministry of
Health regulations that may be in place at the time. Some will
be indoors and others outdoors. To do that, the Shul needs more
Baalei Tefilla to daven before the amud. We do not yet know how
many additional minyanim will be formed, or where they will take
place. Along with all the safety considerations, it will depend
on how many baalei Tefilla are available to help out this year.
Anyone interested in davening Shacharit or Mussaf over the Yamim
Noraim should please be in touch with Daniel Schwartz at cantordbsesq@gmail.com.
- Kaddish.
Daniel Schwartz is available to say Kaddish on behalf
of people unable to come to shul. Please email Daniel at cantordbsesq@gmail.com
with the name of the person for whom you are saying Kaddish, and
he will do so at the morning minyan.

- For
those in the parts of north-east Rehovot (lower Nassi
Harishon/Haraz/Hagra/Meltzer Miller etc) that suffer from
poor/non-existent cell phone reception, here is a
link to the Communication Ministry ‘contact us’ page. https://forms.gov.il/globaldata/getsequence/getHtmlForm.aspx?formType=ContactUs@moc.gov.il#
On page 1, on the right choose 2nd option- cell phone and
landlines. Then free text for complaint. Page 2 is contact
info. Just state that you have terrible reception and changing
companies doesn’t seem to help (and each company just says
‘move to a different carrier’). Hopefully if they get enough
complaints, they will force/allow the companies to put up an
additional antenna.

members are invited to participate in a citywide initiative,
"Physical Distance with Social Closeness." Its goal
is to reduce the sense of personal and public helplessness in
the face of the Coronavirus epidemic by increasing community
resilience, social involvement and leadership in Rehovot,
while maintaining public health. The initiative is looking for
people to volunteer in the following ways: 1. Connect by
Phone. Make phone calls, on a regular basis, to a person who
has asked for regular phone contact. (Currently there are
about 150 people in this category.) 2. Conduct a Survey. Help
the Social Services Department to identify the elderly in
Rehovot who would like to keep connected by phone calls, or
have specific needs, such as someone to pick up their
medicines.3. Coordinate Activities. On an on-going basis,
coordinate activities in specific areas of the city (schunot)
and apartment buildings. A weekly course is being organized to
support the work of these coordinators. To volunteer and/or
receive more information, contact Sherman Rosenfeld
(054-564-3911).
- חברי ברמן
מוזמנים להשתתף ביוזמה עירונית, "ריחוק פיזי עם קרבה חברתית".
מטרתה היא לצמצם את תחושת חוסר האונים האישי והציבורי מול מגיפת
הוירוס על ידי הגברת החוסן הקהילה, מעורבות חברתית ומנהיגות
ברחובות, תוך שמירה על בריאות הציבור. היוזמה מחפשת אנשים להתנדב
בדרכים הבאות: 1. אימוץ בטלפון. המתנדבים ינהלו שיחות טלפון,
באופן קבוע, עם אנשים שביקשו את זה. (נכון לעכשיו ישנם כ -150
אנשים בקטגוריה זו.) 2. סקר טלפוני. המתנדבים יעזרו למחלקת
הרווחה לזהות את הקשישים ברחובות המעוניינים לשמור על קשר קבוע
באמצעות שיחות טלפון, או שיש להם צרכים אחרים, כמו קניית תרופות.
3. ריכוז פעילויות. היוזמה מבוססת על עבודתם של רכזי שכונות
ורכזי בניינים בשכונות השונות. מתוכנן קורס שבועי לתמיכה בעבודתם
של רכזים אלו. להתנדב ו / או לקבל מידע נוסף, נא ליצור קשר עם
שרמן רוזנפלד (054-5643911).
