middle-of-the-road Judaism". The Zoom link and future topics for

renewal. The shul continues to function, if
differently for now, but most expenses continue. As always, the
community has mostly been cooperative with registering their
membership for 5781. This is especially gratifying as we contend
with these difficult times both as individuals and as a
community. If you have not yet paid your 5781
membership,
you can deal with it right now (payment instructions - www.bermanshul.org/payments, registration form – www.bermanshul.org/rhform). Your prompt cooperation
will save work for our administrative volunteers.
- Board
meeting. The next board meeting will take place on
Sunday Oct 25th at 20:15 via Zoom. https://weizmann.zoom.us/j/96900991828?pwd=YXZkM09xSk11WFhreHJRTy9QL3pEZz09.
