Shul Announcements
IMPORTANT REMINDER:
There is a biblically ordained commandment for both Men and Women to hear the reading of Parshas Zachor that takes place
this week. As such, we will be offering an additional reading of Parshas Zachor, immediately following davening, for those who
cannot make it to the first reading. Because of its importance, we urge parents of children who may not be in groups, and have
trouble staying quiet, to keep them OUT of the shul during the reading and instead come to the second reading directly after
davening, while someone who has already fulfilled the mitzvah watches your child for a minute, outside the shul. We also
request that doors remain closed and extra close attention is paid to the noise level directly outside the sanctuary, to allow all
those who are in the shul to fulfil this mitzvah properly, with Kavanah, and without interruption.
Please pick up your children immediately after the conclusion of mussaf so that the leaders can get to the 2nd reading of
Zachor. There will NOT be groups during the 2nd reading of Zachor.
Our first-ever for BMOB, Youth Davening Shabbos is taking place THIS SHABBOS.
Bar mitzvah age boys in our shul will lead all aspects of the davening on Shabbos, from Davening to Leining and Gabbaus.
Mazel Tov to Leah and Jonathan Adler on the Bat Mitzvah of their daughter, Shira!
GALA Kiddush this week is sponsored by Leah and Jonathan Adler in honor of Shira’s Bat Mitzvah!
Shalosh Seudos this week is sponsored by Dafna and Yossie Davidovitch ‫ לעילוי נשמת‬Dafna’s mother,
Pesha Yetta Bat Yehuda.
The bmob sisterhood will be packing shaloch manot Saturday night at 8:00 pm at the home of Rachel Kleinman 8 Alice Place.
Please RSVP to bmobsisterhood@gmail.com if you can come help. Your rsvp will help us know how many bags will still need
to be delivered, as we are in the process of creating delivery routes.
Rabbi and Rebbetzin Stavsky invite the entire shul to their home (134 Wilbur Road) Purim day, from 11:30am-2:30pm, for a PrePurim Seudah! Please join for singing, divrei Torah and refreshments. May we all be zoche to a month which is transformed
"‫מיגון לשמחה ומאבל ליום טוב‬," in which we experience individually and communally ‫ישועות ונחמות‬.
We are still looking for any and all volunteers to help with aspects of the chagiga from set up to cleanup and all things in
between. We are also looking for people who may be able to offer their talents to help out with entertainment during the
chagiga including but not limited to face painting and balloon creations for the kids. Please let Simcha Goldstein or Netti
Grauberd know if you can help out. Netti Grauberd ngrauberd@yahoo.com - Simcha Goldstein Simchangoldstein@gmail.com

please email the welcoming committee to gather your information.
