you as always for your kindheartedness, we wish all our members
a chag kasher v’sameach. Rivka Kronengold, Jerry Kriger, Rebecca
Krausz. Those wishing to donate online may do so by bank
transfer directly to the shul account. Account name: Jacob
Berman Community Center, Bank Mizrahi T'fahot, Branch 434,

the online transfer that the donation is for Maot Hittim, and

- Pesach
is coming. This Year is a special one - not just
because of Corona or that Purim (14th of Adar) fell on Friday.
This year, Pesach starts on Motsaei Shabbat and as a result Erev
Pesach falls on Shabbat. As a result all sorts of clean-up
procedures and pre-pesach and Shabbat rules and rituals need to
be properly planned. The Short Guide: "What to Do when Erev
Pesach Falls on Shabbat (5781)" - [available in English and Hebrew and on the Noticeboard],
by Rabbi Aryeh Frimer, should assist all through their
preparations. Chag Kasher, bari ve-sameach!
- אביב הגיע פסח
בא. שנת תשפ"א היא מיוחדת - ולא רק בגלל הקורונה או
מכיוון שפורים (י"ד אדר) חל בערב שבת. השנה, חג הפסח מתחיל במוצאי
שבת, וכתוצאה מכך, ערב פסח חל בשבת. עקב כך, חייבים לתכנן טוב-טוב
כל סוגי הניקיון הנוהגים בערב פסח, וחובות וטכסים הקשורים לערב פסח
ושבת. "מדריך לערב פסח שחל בשבת תשפ"א" ע"י הרב אריה פרימר [בעברית או באנגלית או בלוח
מודעות] אמור לעזור לכם לעבור את כל האירועים וההכנות כיאות.
