FROM OUR RAV:

 

L'chvodchem hayikarim loy"t – Shalom rav uveracha merubah.

 

A recently published study reported that the most likely time for
traffic congestion to happen, across the nation, is Friday afternoon between 5pm-6pm. They should have asked any one of us and could have studied something else. The next study will probably show that for some reason it depends on sunset.

 

Please wear your safety sashes.

We take great pride in Dr. Rayzel Yaish who will be honored at
the upcoming Ma'ayanot annual dinner for her dedicated efforts on behalf of our children.  This gives us the opportunity to express our appreciation of Dr. Yaish's work and support Ma'ayanot as well.

Shovavim: The upcoming weeks have been set aside by many communities to refresh and deepen our understanding of basics as we read every week in shul about our national beginnings.  In our shul we will have the following schedule:

 

 

--Sundays February 5^th and 12^th at 8:30pm at Beth Abraham: Peshi will be giving a Taharas Ha’mishpacha review for women.

 

--Mondays February 6^th and 13^th following the 9:05pm maariv at Beth Abraham: I will be giving a Taharas Ha’mishpacha review for men.

 

--Sunday February 19^th at Ohr Hatorah (36 Rector Ct.): Rav Mayer Twersky will be speaking on “Chinuch Habanim V’ha’banos” sponsored by TorahWeb.

 

-- Sundays February 26^th and March 4^th at 8:30 pm at Beth Abraham:  I will be giving a two-part series for women on “Hadlakas Neiros Shabbos in Halacha and Hashkafa”.
