Message from the President
By this time, I hope everyone has had a chance to see the beautiful donor wall that was put up last week. If you haven’t had a chance, I encourage
you to do so. There was a lot of time and effort put into the design and layout of the donor wall, and for that I would like to thank Rosemary
Warschawski and Avi Greenlinger for all their dedication and hard work.
I would like to thank each and every one of you that contributed during the years in the design, construction, and funding of our shul. There have
been bumps along the way, but B’H we have reached a point where we are in good financial standing with the bank, and that is due to all of your
constant support. There are still dedication opportunities available, in particular the dedication of the building, shul, and social hall. While I realize
that there are only a few people capable of funding these items, it’s important to show that all the work that’s been done until now, has been by the
entire shul membership contributing together. If you are interested in any of these opportunities, I would love to talk with you.
Surprise! The D’veykus concert is taking place in one week.
Seating is being done early this coming week, so if you have not
yet ordered your tickets, please do so now (preferably waiting
until after Shabbos). From all of the “behind the scenes"
discussions, this is really shaping up to be a great night. It’s an
easy way to support the shul while you have an enjoyable
evening out. We look forward to seeing you there.
The Rav is away this Shabbos, and I will be happy to answer any
halachic questions you have. This could be my big moment in the
rabbinate.
Thank you to all our Concert Sponsors
Have a great Shabbos, Chaim
Cholent Kiddush: The next two cholent kiddushes are scheduled

for all those who sponsored. We would also like to thank Linda
and Noah Katz who are sponsoring the Kiddush December 6th
