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. Proper donning of masks (up to the bridge
of your nose) and distancing (2 meters) within the groups is
mandatory.
לאור חומרת המצב
והידוק התקנות, שהות במנייני בית הכנסת תוגבל לקבוצות של 10 לכל
היותר בהתאם להוראות הדין. נבקש את הבנתכם וציות לבקשות
הגבאים/ממוני הקורונה אם אתם מגיעים לקבוצה "מלאה" כשינחו אתכם
להצטרף לקבוצה אחרת ו/או להתרחק מקבוצה מסוימת. נדגיש שוב כי עטיה
נכונה של מסיכות (קרי, מעל גשר האף) ושמירת מרחק של לפחות 2 מטר –
חובה! אנו מודים לכם על שיתוף הפעולה וההבנה.

- 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 ESRA
Rehovot's after-school program for children at risk.
