Due
to the situation and tighter regulations, attendance at the
Shabbat minyanim will be limited to separate groups of 10
(outside only) as permitted by law. Please understand
and obey the requests of gabbaim/corona officers if you arrive to
find full occupancy and are asked to distance yourself/join a
different group. It goes without saying that proper donning of
masks (up to the bridge of your nose) and distancing (2 meters)
within the groups is mandatory. Thanks for your understanding. At
this time, we prefer that children not attend services.

- ESRA
Rehovot invites you to an online talk via zoom on
“Jews Who Fought for Hitler,” by John Simon, Tuesday, 19
January at 19:30. Only one European combatant country emerged
from WWII without any of its Jewish citizens being persecuted
at home or deported to the Third Reich’s concentration or
extermination camps. How and why the first Jews arrived in
that cold and dark corner of the continent has no parallel in
the annals of the diaspora, nor does the story of how openly
Jewish soldiers in Finland’s army fought under German command
in WWII… and survived. John Simon has written the first
comprehensive history of Finland’s Jewish community, Strangers
in a Stranger Land. This book was short-listed for History
Book of the Year. He will share with us this significant but
neglected part of Holocaust history. Cost: ESRA Members NIS
25; Non-members NIS 35. Registration: Through Booking Office
at 09-9508371 (ext 2) or write to bookingoffice@esra.org.il,
or online at www.esra.org.il. A zoom invitation will
be sent to your email address after your payment is
processed. All proceeds support the ESRARehovot's
after-school program for children at risk.
