SHUL ACTIVITIES, EVENTS AND REMINDERS תזכורות, אירועים ופעילויות של בית הכנסת

• Participants in the Friday night outdoor minyan in the amphitheater are asked to use the southern part of the amphitheater so that those davening in the indoor minyan can enter and exit without disturbing the davening.
• Yeshivat Hadarom will be having its first of several Shabbatot Yeshiva this coming Shabbat. As a result, access to the Yeshiva side of the campus will be blocked other than the residential area by the Ramim’s residences. Access to the shul will still be possible through Berman Street. Please note the following changes in location: 1) The 8:30 outdoor minyan will not meet this week on campus (please contact Omri Flicker for potential off-campus options this week), and 2) Mini-Minyan will move this Shabbat to the south side of the amphitheater (i.e. the side further from the shul’s entrance doors).
• It has been TWO years since our last MIX-IT-UP Shabbat - and since then our community has welcomed so many new and lovely faces. We are thrilled to share that we are finally able to revive this awesome opportunity to meet friends, old and new, over TWO special back-to-back Shabbatot. On Shabbat October 30, Parshat Chayei Sara, the shul will be sponsoring a celebratory Kiddush in honor of our new members. We will have name tags prepared for all our members during the Kiddush. (Non-members are invited to receive a name tag by registering here.) On Shabbat November 6, Parshat Toldot, whether you are old or new, you will have the chance to get to know each other over a MIX-IT-UP Shabbat meal. Everyone interested in being "MIXED UP" for a meal, please RSVP by filling out this form NO LATER THAN Sunday October, 24. We will match individuals and families, and together you will decide who is hosting and who will be hosted. Lastly, if you are not yet a member of the shul, this is a wonderful opportunity to JOIN our fabulous community. Register here!
