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

• Thank you to the Succah crew, who coordinated building (Jacob Silvermetz) and decorating (Deena Lederman and Shmoiki Berkowitz) the Shul Succah!
• Aravot will be available for purchase on Hoshana Rabba morning outside Shul for NIS 10/bundle.
• Goody bags for the kids will be distributed in the main Shul immediately after Mincha on Simchat Torah evening (Sunday) before Hakafot. One per child, please.
• Annual Hashkama Minyan Potluck kiddush on Simchat Torah morning. All participants are asked to contribute store-bought food or drink. No homemade items due to Shul Kashrut policy.
• On Simchat Torah morning, there will be two divrei Torah for women by Pennina Safer (English) and Lior Mizrachi (Hebrew), while the men are receiving Aliyot. We will meet in the Beit Midrash after the first reading of Vezot Habracha, and return in time for Kol Hana'arim.
• Yizkor. A list of the deceased who were members at the time of their passing, can be seen here (women) and here (men), and on the Noticeboard.
• Halacha guide for Succot. Succot is a holiday rich with custom and ritual, personal and communal. The attached guide "A Succot 5783 Guide to Prayer and Ritual" by Rabbi Aryeh Frimer contains much general information regarding ritual observance. In addition, it will hopefully assist those individuals who, because of Corona or other reasons, have chosen to pray bi-yehidut (in the absence of a minyan) - through the related issues. The useful guide is available here, and on the Noticeboard.
• Torah readers needed for many Parshiot for the upcoming year. To volunteer, please contact Shmulie Pineles stephenpineles@gmail.com for the main minyan, or Moshe Appel michael.appel@gmail.com for the Hashkama minyan. Volunteers through high school age are paid by the shul for their efforts.
