PURE PURIM PURFECTION
The Young Israel of North Woodmere wishes everyone a Freylichin Purim.
Mazal Tov
Mazal Tov to our dear members, Sonia and Rabbi Barry Dov Schwartz, upon the birth of
twin baby boys to their beloved children, Tamar and Eric Dinowitz, this past Tuesday. May
the baby boys grow le-Torah, le-chupah, u-le-maasim tovim!
Don’t Forget to Remember
Every adult has a biblical obligation to hear Parshat Zachor. A second reading will take place
2 minutes after shul is over, in the sanctuary, no earlier than 11:15am, and a third reading will
take place immediately after mincha.
Shabbat Kiddush and Seudah Shlishit
Kiddush following davening is sponsored this week by Michael Israel in honor of Joey
Fraiman. Seudah Shlishit is sponsored this week by the shul. Jordan Hiller will be speaking at
Seudah Shlishit about his Reflections on Denmark.
What’s Purim Without a Carnival?
Get ready for an action packed, frielichin Purim Carnival Sunday, March 1st at 10:30am
followed by our visit to the Bristal at 1:15pm to spread Purim cheer! The Carnival will include
clowns, a magic show, face painting and so much more! The cost is $8 per child with a
maximum of $30 per family.
What’s a Carnival Without Carnies?
We are looking for volunteers for the YINW Purim Carnival this coming Sunday. Requesting
kids ages 12 and up to to run booths. We also need volunteeers to run the pizza, tickets
sales, admission and prize table. Step right up! Please contact Shoshy at shoshmom@
optonline.net if you or your kids can help.
Matanot L’Evyonim
Checks for Matanot L’Evyonim, tzedakah aimed at assuring that Purim is a day of celebration
for all Jews, can be made out to YINW and marked “matanot l’evyonim” IF they are delivered
to Rabbi Septimus or Edy Blady by Monday. If they are delivered later than Monday, they
should be made out to the Davis Memorial Fund.
Downstairs Megillah Reading
As always there will be a special downstairs Megillah Reading for women and young children,
taking place at 6:15pm Wednesday night. Women are obligated to hear the entire Megillah
just as men are. The goal of this reading is to allow women to fulfill their obligation while
also giving their young children an opportunity to experience the Megillah reading without
having to worry if their children make SOME noise. However, please see to it that such noise
is still kept to a minimum. Needless to say, adults should not be talking. We are looking
forward to an exciting, spirited and meaningful Purim together!
YINW Mishloach Manot Pickup
Please make your payments in advance for this year’s Mishloach Manot so our lovely ladies
of the Sisterhood can create your majestic mishloach manot knowing that they have an
appreciative and committed audience. In addition, don’t forget to pickup your Mishloach
Manot in the shul office immediately following Megillah Reading.

A Message from the Bach Family
We would like to thank the North Woodmere community for planning an incredible
Shabbat commemorating the first yahrzeit of our beloved Philip, a”h. It is both comforting
and inspiring to know that he is loved and remembered by so many. This first year without
Philip was tremendously difficult. Having such a meaningful event planned by our YINW
family reminded us how much we have to be grateful for, and we would like to share that
gratitude with the community. Thank you!
Purim Thank You’s to…

To Fern Seinuk, Lorraine Grun, Yael Aspir and the YINW Sisterhood for the annual

Israel Update – Top Ten Israel Hikes – Upper Nahal David
Continuing are latest countdown. Here’s number 5.
Nahal David is the most touristy part of the Ein Gedi Nature Reserve. You pay an entrance
fee of about $5 (discounts for children and soldiers), then make the short 30-minute hike to
David’s Waterfall for pictures and snacks. More intrepid hikers can extend the hike to nearly
five hours by starting at the nearby Ein Gedi Field School.
The first half hour of the hike heads up a tough mountain (including one short segment
where you’re climbing straight up without any footholds). The trail then winds around until
it reaches a narrow canyon that can only be traversed by hanging on rungs dug into the
mountain face (think of it as hiking on monkey bars) and jumping over—or wading into—
pools of water of varying depths, depending on the time of year.
The payoff at the end of the canyon (which can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes to
traverse, depending on how nimble you are) is an opening toward the Dead Sea called the
halon (window). There’s room here for a medium-sized group to eat lunch and admire
the stunning view. You then go back out the way you came, and climb again, before
descending to the lovely Ein Gedi spring and a Chalcolithic-era temple. You’ll eventually
meet up with the aforementioned short hike through Nahal David. No one’s checking at
the entrance, but be nice and pay the entrance fee.
